Got it, I didn’t see that I also had a FAQ, was thinking I only had the CLASSIFIED clarification

Now I see my specific question is answered, the carriers could not even split up during a combat move that ends in the same place

sent a chat so we don’t clutter up this thread

No problem. I will ask you next month for W@W game.

@The_Good_Captain

It took me awhile, but I see what you mean as the G1, G3, G4, G5 North Sea dice are not grossly out of whack all put together.

After the 1% G3 result, I would have continued if the prize was $5,000

We re-set, and played just for fun. G4 was lucky with 0 planes lost instead of “supposed to be” 2, which set up G5 situation.

After the 1% G5 result, I would continue if the prize was $5,000, but I’m not going to grind out a just-for-fun game trying to win, and I think it might even be insulting to continue against a strong player after losing 6/7 of your luftwaffe early in the game in that situation, to say I will show you that I can still beat you

:) :) I only post this because I think it’s fun and mutually enjoyable to talk about the game and situations we all looked at. Hope I’m not wrong.

@ManuC23 said in Elche (Axis) vs Ragnell804 (Allies) - Classic Invitational Game, RR, No Neutrals, Tech Turn 4:

@elche I wonder what the purpose of this GB move is on turn one? Isn’t it better to go for Africa to secure another unit for Persia, since Japan’s Sub in Solomon Does it cover all entry to Australia?

I suppose he is waiting for Salomon’s sub to retire, to go to Australia and is he safe in that position?
