XDAP Final… eh, i mean, Semifinal - Allweneedishank vs. TeamBoldDutch

[boldfresh]

ok, i don’t think the chinese are going to be saving any money.  since china was no dice, there will be an adjustment and i will buy 4 inf rather than 1.  all placed in jehol.

[boldfresh]

also the USA destroyer moves in noncom to z125

[boldfresh]

i guess Dutch was in shock after the 3 kami’s all hit.  these are all noncoms with no dice in between so here we go with Britain.

[boldfresh]

here is the map with adjustments prior to UK combat

I was incomunicado last night with Bold regarding the move, so I haven’t been able to go over a few things with him regarding the NonComs.  Please hold off AWN until we communicate this morning.  Thanks.

Well, Dutch and Bold have officially reached zen levels of A&A strategy.  The one tweak that i was considering is exactly what Dutch wants to see.  One ftr from Norway to Finland.  I can accept that.

Go ahead AWN. I don’t envy your I9 and G10 moves - glad you are making them and not me.

cheers

[dutchmand]

AWN needs to lend-lease some of Hank’s Kami’s.  Bastards.

Dutch, we are getting the short end of recent exchanges, but I think we’ll be alright.  :wink:

That’s what happens when you feed your pilots well and convince them of the evils of American imperialism.
