Italians celebrate wildly the defeat of the Australian outbackers. Meanwhile, in Rome War Ministry officials begin notification of kin letters for the troops in Morocco, who have no idea what awaits them from across the strait. :0

let me know about that australian sub in sz78… if he’s legit, i will alter my NCMs slightly to protect the japanese transport. but i honestly think he was erroneously put on the board, probably on the starting map. he doesn’t show up on the alpha+2 listings, and i don’t remember seeing you buy a sub…

@BigBadBruce:

@Botider:

still wondering about the australian sub in sz78 … where did he come from?

It’s the original Sub, which moved to z54 at turn 1, then hold position, then moved to z41 during turn 3 and finally z78 at turn 4

yeah, that’s kinda what i was getting at. on the alpha+2 starting units, australia has no sub. here’s what i see on the rule chart for anzac:

New South Wales: 2 Infantry, 1 AA gun, 1 Minor IC, 1 Naval Base.
New Zealand: 1 Infantry, 2 Fighters, 1 Airbase, 1 Naval Base.
Queensland: 2 Infantry, 1 Artillery, 1 Fighter, 1 Airbase, 1 Naval Base.
Malaya: 1 Infantry
Egypt: 2 infantry
Sea Zone 62: 1 Destroyer, 1 Transport
Sea Zone 63: 1 Cruiser

do you have a different starting placement list? it ain’t on mine. i don’t really care… i will adjust my ncm’s if he’s supposed to be there. honestly, i didn’t even notice it until a turn ago, and then i only glanced back at your buys to see if i had missed something…

i think it is an inadvertent placement on the starting map, from either out of box rules, or alpha1 set. ??
