Thanks a lot! You are of course right. That any such decisions could not have been influenced by any Chinese or UK dice.
Here is the edited file.

To cheer the troops of JDOW up. :lol:

[JDOW]

So according to the title of the track (without checking the lyrics) this sounds ironic?  :lol:

[JDOW]

Are the Italians ready? :-)

[gamerman01]

Maybe tonight, I don’t know

Appears you shorted yourself an infantry when editing USA from 92 to 91
I’m adding an infantry to Z91, since you had been leaving one on the transport and presumably that’s why you added 1 infantry to Gibraltar (because you were leaving one at sea)

@JDOW:

Apparently they were!  What a great dice turn for Italy.  All the way through the convoy roll
I guess it was perfect except I lost a fighter, but of course clearing that destroyer was major.  I assume you didn’t realize I could attack it.

Ready to resign now?  :-)

[JDOW]

I need to ask about 2 things:

1. Why did you add a US in in sz91?

2. Is it really allowed to move a sub in NCM into hostile seazones containing enemy destroyers? I mean, in case you do it it will be correct as you know all rules. but this somehow sounds wrong to me. Would be a strange exception and with this logic I would expect any ship to move into hostile SZs during NCM?

[JDOW]

@Gamerman01:

Ready to resign now?  :-)

Yes!
I overlooked can openers on both sides of the map. Time to resign to save the sz91 fleet from total annihilation.

Thanks Gamerman! It was a great pleasure and an honor to play you in my first league game! I learned A LOT during that game.

Tobias

See previous post.  It looked like you deleted 2 and only added one, when editing from Z92

2. Is it really allowed to move a sub in NCM into hostile seazones containing enemy destroyers? I mean, in case you do it it will be correct as you know all rules. but this somehow sounds wrong to me.

It is legal.  This is straight from the mouth of Krieghund.  You can noncom subs into a zone with enemy destroyers, but of course not past that zone.

Well, you were hanging tough longer than anyone I’ve played all year.  Your thoroughness and study will serve you well.  It may be a couple of months until I can play you again, but chat any time

No worries and good luck for the play offs!
