a very solid convoy roll.  :-o

[Me1945]

I don’t understand a reason for changing PU for Italy from 13 to 14. You rolled CRD to collect 13 and

forgot dice were needed…

that we had no doubt about. It’s why we requested no actions just letting you know.

Ok I figured by definition that if you brought it up then u had some doubt so I figured the best way to handle was to just do a clean roll.  Whatever you feel is most appropriate is fine with us.

Cheers

[boldfresh]

we may as well petition for a time extension on this game right now

[Cow]

Play fast and accept the errors that may occur.
If you are the axis try to go for a VC win.
Or try to go for an undeniable income, positioning, and TUV advantage.

In other words play fast or play hyper aggressive. People struggle with playing hyper aggressive, because they think it is a silly concept to take chances and roll dice… but this is a dice game and the art of playing aggressively is maximizing every % odds for every battle you plan on attacking or defending. People say my games are crazy, but I always min/maxing everything.

Decisions are too arbitrary.

[Cow]

Take chances when necessary.

TripleA wouldn’t let me blitz correctly, so a couple edits.

[dutchmand]

I rolled for Japanese combat already. TripleA froze as I was trying to post the map. I recreated it in local. There were only 3 battles with combat rolls. Per Marti, the Japanese lost 1 infantry in Java, and 1 in Borneo.

Map coming…

TripleA wouldn’t let me delete the Japanese infantry in Java… so please remember there is only 1 inf there.  It thinks I need to delete the tnp first for some reason, so we may have to wait until I move the tnp off of z42 to do it.

[boldfresh]

if we only have 2 weeks left to complete this game, perhaps garg and allweneed should be at least getting prepared to issue a preliminary statement as to which way the decision might be leaning…

or not.

:?

[Gargantua]

Clearly the allies are winning.

[Gargantua]

Would you like me to defer to decision now? :P

Have you checked that the transport is actually EMPTY of the infantry?  and that the infantry is actually on the island?

Sometimes it may look like it’s on the island, whilst still being in the transport, in the sea zone.

[boldfresh]

@Gargantua:

Clearly the allies are winning.

:lol:

[boldfresh]

Hey Me.  what are you going to do with your atlantic/med fleet?  inquiring minds would sure like to know.

[Me1945]

Yes, Axis left the Allies fleet not much options. Everything is pretty covered. But, they (options) exist. Good news for us, if you don’t see.
