Well - I think I am benefitting from my first game as allies against wittman being slightly advanced compared to this my second. Hopefully I am learning from my mistakes in the other one!

[teslas]

Unfortunately, I think I may have drank too much already to competently take my turn.

Looking at the board, however, I don’t see any super risky or great players Japan can make, but maybe some fresh eyes in the morning will help that.

Otherwise, it looks like I retake phillipines, take malaya, and then prep to activate the mongolians on japan’s next turn.

Until tomorrow!

[Private-Panic]

You mean TRY!

[teslas]

I totally forgot to send planes in vs. the one british guy in Yunnan.

So I rolled through the first round then retreated (no hits). I am going to roll dice manually now for the shit ton of planes that could have come in, then reroll all the infantry:

My two bombers rolled a 4 and a 6, which is enough to kill your guy.
Your guy shoots back with a 5, missing.

I hope you trust me if it doesn’t show up in the dice emails.

@teslas:

I hope you trust me if it doesn’t show up in the dice emails.

Of course that’s fine tes.

When I cock up against Wittman I just redo my go and tell him why. Never for improved dice rolls, but because I made a mistake such as yours.

Will look at USA, etc tomorrow.

One bit of advice: That American bomber would have ruined your 5 IPC Russian NO if I hadn’t have put that destroyer in SZ 125.

Careful with putting early units in Russia unless you’re sure they’re going to do some good, or you’re sure Germany will be able to keep a boat in SZ 125 (which you may have been rightfully sure of and this post is then entirely unnecessary :P)

Quite right. Thanks tes.
