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.

even though it is completely irrelevant to know before J7, i will tell you that there is ONE SINGLE FIGHTER on every acc in z6.  the FIRST time that it could possibly be relevant however, is following USA7, where we will again give you a new distribution.  If we ever fail to give you a distribution, you cannot assume it is the same as it was the previous turn.  If we forget to say, please ask.

Cheers

[boldfresh]

in order to give cow time to return, i propose that we play this game to full victory conditions (either axis gets 8 vc in europe or 6 vc in pacific, OR allies take all three axis capitals).  You guys up for it?

[gamerman01]

I think it is proper for a player to put in the game notes at the end of a turn when there are carriers and fighters where the distribution could possibly matter.  Nobody should have to ask for it.  Same with units on transports.

amazingly i still don’t know how to correctly add a note.

so this doesn’t get buried under the previous posts and get missed by AWN and Hank, i am bringing it back up to the top.

[allweneedislove]

we always planned on playing until we capturing a vc win. but feel free to resign earlier if you want.

if by some miracle you start to get the upper hand and would like us to keep playing i would probably be ok with continuing to play, not sure about hank13 thou.

a little AWN smack talk!!!  finally!  :-P

if you do not let us know that the distribution has changed then it has not changed and will remain the same the following rounds.

we do not need to assume, it is the same or is different, because you have not notified us that it has changed.

your request is analogous to us forgetting to move units in berlin. then telling you not to assume the units are in berlin you must ask us if they are in berlin or have moved somewhere else.

i don’t really like talking smack, my game should do all the smacking.

in this case you asked a question and i gave an honest answer, with a very small jab added in.

well, your game isn’t doing any smacking, so it’s time to start letting your words do more.  :wink:
