Non Combat Move - French
            COMMENT: 2 FR INF on 1 USA TP in 110

It’s also in the History, in the non-combat section  :-)

If you don’t save after a tech roll it’s OK - just edit IPC’s on hand down by 5 when you reload

[gamerman01]

Also, you can go to “View -> Show comment log”

That’s where you can enter your own game comments, like to clarify what units are on transports or carriers

[seth4god]

Sorry, I thought it was your turn. I remember thinking through what I was going to do depending on which transport those Frenchies were on and I guess I just assumed I’d done Germany.  :roll:

[gamerman01]

Was kinda wondering!

It’s fine - I really appreciate the brisk pace you’ve been keeping - has been fun - looking forward to it being my turn again  :-)

[seth4god]

I’ve never really used the comment log before . . . :-D

[gamerman01]

Yeah, I figured you hadn’t since you didn’t see mine…

It’s vital for the ground units on transports issue… helps the owning player a lot too

[seth4god]

Yeah I know, it must’ve been frustrating to see my other games get played pretty rapidly with no movement in this game. My bad and I’ll be taking Germany’s turn now.

And yeah, I move rapidly . . . and that’s probably my biggest weakness. I’m a lot better face to face when I can see everything and think things through. You caught my Japanese twice this game on simple mistakes that exposed quite a bit of my hardware. Time to focus and try to salvage this.

No!  Not at all!  It hasn’t even been 48 hours.  I only noticed you move on one other game - and that doesn’t bother me at all anyway.  Thanks for your consideration, though, I appreciate that.

[seth4god]

I’m going to strat bomb Russia, intercept? 3 vs 2 if you do.

I still need to figure out what else Germany’s doing. But that much I know. So no worries if you want to wait and see all what I’m doing.

I’m pretty meticulous as you can probably already tell, and that’s a big reason for my success……
That, and a lot of chess experience  :-)
Also, I’m an expert with numbers and statistics…  :-)

[gamerman01]

That’s a tough decision

Was going to fly UK air up there but turned out that probably wasn’t the best thing to do…

I will intercept with both… gotta try and stop those +2s…
plus your German bombers can’t shoot worth crap  :evil:

@Gamerman01:

All whiffs on the air battle and ack ack phase of that battle. My bombers might not be great at shooting your air down, but they sure did do a number on your factory.  :evil:

[gamerman01]

As long as they didn’t shoot down both fighters, I’m happy

[seth4god]

@Gamerman01:

As long as they didn’t shoot down both fighters, I’m happy

Shooting down your fighters would’ve been a bonus. As long as my bombers aren’t getting shot down, I’m happy as well.  :-P

[gamerman01]

Another win/win!

[seth4god]

I need a win/win and need you to get a loss/loss.  :evil:

[seth4god]

@seththenewb:

Oh thank GOD yes! Whew, I about had a heart attack when I saw 3 red dice, but they were MY red dice this time around. I thought I was in for a repeat of the last SBR. I shot down 3 fighters, didn’t lose any air, and did 13 damage.

Which is a HUGE improvement over the last time around when I lost 2 fighters, 2 bombers, didn’t shoot down any of your air, and only did 6 damage for all my pains. Which 3 fighters did you want to lose? I chose the Frenchie and 2 Brits. But let me know what you’d prefer to keep instead.

See, the previous SBR that I reference is a HUGE loss that I’d like to avoid. At least the dice evened out some and I got 3 of his air the next SBR. Both battles were 7 German air vs 8 allied fighters.
