[wheatbeer]

You mean shifting the mobilize right? If so, that’s fine.

[boldfresh]

@wheatbeer:

You mean shifting the mobilize right? If so, that’s fine.

Yeah.  Thanks.

[wheatbeer]

need OOL Kiangsi (aa gun vs infantry)

[boldfresh]

Well wheat I just gave you the game, unless u are willing to give me a 1 round pass in the pacific.  Twice I just plain forgot about your bombers up there in amur.  Unbelievable.

Lose aa first.

[wheatbeer]

Victory in Kiangsi isn’t a guarantee, especially with 2 aa hits. Not sure what the odds are at this moment since I can’t run the calc without it assuming aa still need to fire.

[boldfresh]

you have odds to win the battle, which would end the game.

[wheatbeer]

Scratch my previous comment … the Chinese sorely undershot.

[boldfresh]

wheat, i made some really really really terrible moves in this last round - like i said, should never make moves on the weekend, especially the weekend before i leave for a week’s vacation.  :?

[boldfresh]

i meant to move my chinese from kwang to kiangsi obviously.

[boldfresh]

good game.

[boldfresh]

just a wham bam final round where i moved knowing you had no chance of victory SOON in the pacific as long as i made the right moves - just forgot i had to move the chinese to kiangsi, which was my obvious goal.  chinese from yunnan to kwang and from kwang to kiansi  :roll:

[wheatbeer]

I’ll repeat my offer of a draw for league purposes given the exceptional play on the other half of the map.

And I would be happy to play out any alternative scenario for the sake of off-league fun.

[wheatbeer]

Since that offer is unacceptable I’ll rescind it and propose something better:

We report this result and start a new league game using any saved map of your choice as the starting scenario (Axis still lack a reroll unless you pick a map prior to J5 where I used it).

[wheatbeer]

Okay, one more offer:

The game resumes from the end of UK13.

Optional extra: I will give the US the option to move the six strategic bombers which ended on Suiyuyan to a different territory inside China within their original range from Midway in exchange for restoring the Axis’s low luck reroll option.

Second optional extra: We can extend the turn post time limit to help avoid similar errors in the future (assuming that is acceptable under league rules).
