three straight hits with your tank… your strategy to go after the russians is working so far, with quite a bit of help from the dice. i’m hoping the italians keep up their lame efforts…
bessarbia cleared by held by germans
and the map crashes as usual… gotta replot the entire turn. i’ll finish up this turn later…

It’s frustrating when the dice go all wonky, it makes it difficult to judge how effective a specific strategy is working.

the dice gods toy with us… :lol:
cheer up… at least you didn’t LOSE a battle -
I just noticed something, you landed your US fighter from Philippines in Que, you can’t do that, the US is still neutral.
-
really? neutrals can’t land on neutrals? hmmm… interesting. i’ve been doing that exact move for months with the u.s. ftr,… you’re the first one to point that out. i am still a long ways from understanding all the nuances of this new game. but it is a lot of fun… especially f2f with that ridiculous board.
i’ll put him on gilbert island… i think he can get there. and i know it’s my move. perhaps tonight. it’s zany around here right now…

Gilbert is a British Possesion, well at least it’s not US, you need to find a dark green Island, I believe your only option is Guam.

Still waiting for UK & ANZ to move.

yeah, i know. had some minor surgery yesterday… still getting my feet under me. i’ll post sometime today…
-
okay… so the only question is if i fly the ftr to guam, would the japanese have attacked on J2? if not, then the ftr flies on to hawaii/sz26 on us 2 (already posted). if you will attack u.s. to kill that ftr, then we need to back up to the R2 map and you need to post J2 again (all dice can stand). but it will mean the u.s. / england / australia are at war with japan in the pacific at the start of US2.
i will proceed with british move in a while if you do not change your J2 move. sorry for the confusing. appreciate you pointing that out. another question, somewhat related…
- can a country that is at war sail into a sz containing a potential allie’s ships, i.e., can the british boats off nova scotia go to sz101?
- can a country that is at war fly plans into a the territory of a potential allie’s, i.e., can the britsh ftrs in nova scotia fly to e us?
i’m pretty sure about the answer to #1, but not so sure about #2. i have been playing this all wrong (and so have a lot of my opponents), but the whole neutrality questions and where you can/can’t go is a bit fuzzy when it is clearly spelled out (like with the u.s. boats not being able to approach european coastlines). thanks for the inputs and clarifications. let me know if you want to change your J2 move. i will wait to proceed with britain and australia.
