Hi,
If you dont mind I would like to call this one already, somehow I started very badly with Germany and in the pacific. Ill start a new game tomorrow. Hope you dont mind. Thanks for your patience in the matter.
well, its far from my optimal first round, and its less than my usual… but heck, lets see how it goes and if its a clear ally victory we can just start over with the new settings… i’d like to try that new setup… looks interresting!

leaving your fleet exposed and then having it sunk at little expense to your opponent is a sure way to lose.
the dice always seem to make you pay double when you make a mistake.
