That’s all you got UK? (yeah that’s right, we havn’t talked in like 6 months and it’s already time to start talking trash)
You must have thought I was out of practice my friend.
You know what traveling does for you? Helps you think outside the BOX.
Wait untill you see this Japan.
I am going to make you regret that Russian Bomber the whooooole game….

Any only 2 minutes later it is time to be humble.
I am in the middle of posting my Japanese move and as I’m doing non-combats I discover that one of my cruisers wont move….
It’s a British Cruiser. That colour is awfully similar.
I will finish the move and then we will discuss what can be done. Dice are gone I know, but it is my first time using this engine so perhaps some understanding is in order.
Of course if I am given any leniency it will undoubtedly taint my certain victory…

So, as per my above post. I didnt notice that the cruiser off of Kwangtung was BRITISH and not Japanese.
Had I noticed this I would have changed my move A LOT.
I guess we have a few options…
Dice are gone and you would be in the right to say “F-you your mistake I don’t need to do you any favours.”
But hopefully this is the same old Joel and you’re more interested in a well fought battle of wits than an easy victory based on blunders. (Channelling The Princess Bride…)
So, even though knowing the presence of the cruiser would have adjusted the larger move. I would be willing, if you accept, to change only units that did not move in the combat phase. I would simply request that my little fleet from 37 move into 59 to eliminate the cruiser. This fucks things up for me a little bit, so it’s still advantage Joel in the end. We can do dice the traditional way.
Let me know what you think pal. Sorry for the fuckup. I will pay closer attention to the colours next time.

What an absolutely ABSYMAL Russian turn.
LOL!
I haven’t seen anything that bad in a long time.
I’ll give you that India was a gamble albiet - one that favoured me! As for the rest, my planes were a joke!
Good catch in West Russia by you though last turn, I must say! Should have moved my AA there.
Play on!

With Russian Forces in Full reatreat the Germans see the opportunity to seize valuable possitions in the south and are even able to free up forces for Africa, Norway and the Central Russian campaign. Everything is going perfectly according to plan….
…The skies over Egypt, until now only punctuated by the occational stork, are suddently met with the might of the fearsome Luftwaffe!
Hold on to your butts!
