Yes since they didnt specify otherwise.

OK, moving forward with the understanding that the Anzac fighters are on the Anzac AC in zone 54.

German bomber goes from Phil to Midway.

[Gargantua]

Hey Guys, the PRESIDENT is at the door!

Someone let him in!  He only wants to take all the “armed” pieces off the board.

Wait…

There’s Russia.
I adjusted Anzac buys per discussion, feel free to move the Ger Bom if you like.
And yes, that is by far the most impressive Egy stack I’ve ever seen.
But it’s probably historically accurate…had Germany reached Cairo, UK would have fought back from all directions.

[Gargantua]

Well Russia didn’t do what it HAD to do…

So…

[Me1945]

Don’t cover Russia with your mind,
Don’t use your norms for understanding:
It has its outstanding kind -
You must believe without fading.

Hell yeah Me1945, well said!

@alexgreat:

So Bold, I guess you can go forward with Germany if you accept a possible build / movement edit later tonight for ANZAC. Since there was no combat, and since builds hardly affect Germany (except your bomber), that would be acceptable? Otherwise pls wait for review by any team member.

guys, we agreed to a build/movement edit later tonight for ANZAC.  dutch posted bomber to midway about 12 hours later.  that is no longer later tonight is it?

so thus, i really have to ask myself, did the german bomber to midway have anything to do with your purchase change, which occurred an additional 15 hours after dutch posted the bomber move?  hmmmmm….  garg, you are the supreme commander, what do you think?
