[gamerman01]

I can move soon
Are you in Europe or USA/Canada?  Wondering about your time zone

[gamerman01]

Wow, you surprised me on that one.  Thought I’d be dealing with a stack on Egypt and Iraq and Syria would be activated too - but I’m not sitting in your chair - maybe I have more pressure on Egypt than I thought, or maybe you want to fly the German air back to Europe

Was thinking Australia was dead in the water, but I guess I can retreat to South Australia  :evil:  :-P  :-P

[gamerman01]

I was very hesitant to not have the fleet in Z80, and after all that concentration, you never took Iraq - whee!

[gamerman01]

I am moving the cruiser through the Panama canal during combat movement so I don’t forget it - they look the same color (you probably know how to change the color of ANZAC units?  Can you tell me?)

Had to edit because Triple A wrongly doesn’t allow it

[gamerman01]

Whew - great dice there……

[regularkid]

i’m in California. a bit insomniac tho :-o

[gamerman01]

Cool, that is ideal for me (California and insomniac too)

Well at least you missed the convoy damage in 42 so you collect more - I don’t feel so bad now

[gamerman01]

I’ll admit it - I can already say I love the balanced mod even though I’m not fully raking in the cash yet because USSR isn’t allowed to the party
I do think it’s weighted too much for the Allies - too many NO’s added, I think.  But it’s early, I acknowledge

[gamerman01]

It doesn’t take me long to tell -
You can hold your own, kid!
I was a little worried when I saw you sink the destroyer in 98 because I wasn’t sure you’d taken TrJ and I wondered if your fleet would be dead in the water, but nope - solid move.  J1 looked crazy to me, but it looked a lot better after J2 for you!

Your turn, game on

thanks. that means a lot. definitely nice to have a pro put the mod through its paces. and i’m looking forward to your full review at the end of the game.

[gamerman01]

I have no problem at all with the edit to East Poland because there were no dice rolled (or any that would have any effect)
The sooner you develop the habit of only moving necessary combat moves during the combat movement phase, the better  :-)
