Interesting.

@Hank13:

He does that while hopping in a circle counter-clockwise on alternating feet. Weird, but it seems to work :)

that is just walking.

was that intentional? if so, nicely done.

[allweneedislove]

can you please let me know the distribution of the fighters on the carriers in sz6.

Insane workday for us both.  Will try to have a post for you by tomorrow afternoon.  If russians attack rostov or arc what is your ool?   :-D

@allweneedislove:

It will not be relevant this round.  We will let u know if/when it can be relevant.

[boldfresh]

Ie we will let u know after usa7.

[boldfresh]

gonna need casualty choice most likely in archangel

[boldfresh]

2 hits round 1 - lose mech or aa?

i am not asking you for a favour.

i am asking for what units are on the board. this is not information that you can disguise and alter to your advantage when you see fit. this is an essential part of the game. triplea does not show it but is obvious when playing on a tabletop.

i am not going to chastise you for not divulging earlier, because sometimes i forget to let my opponents know the distribution of fighters on carriers as well.

this does not affect my casualty choice, so you can let us know after your ussr rolls, and before japan’s turn.

[allweneedislove]

lose aagun and mechanized infantry.

Yeah, dude, he’s politely requesting that you follow the rules.  It’s not like you have a choice.  If it doesn’t matter, then it shouldn’t take any thought to tell him what fighters are on what carriers, because it won’t matter anyway according to you.
