Okay guys, Japan now controls 6 VC on the pacific map

You have to retake a VC before the end of turn 19 or it is over.

You will find 2 tr (undefended) in sz6 and 2inf, 2tnk in Japan

Those units were purchased on J18, and were intended to be unload in Phi

Unfortunately, it seems that there is another bug in the program because it doesn’t let me enter sz35 during my NCM with those 2 transports.

I have checked here (page 10)  http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=28562.msg1038537#new

and apointed rules deputy Kcdzim says it is legal to NCM transports loaded into sz where there is an enemy sub, and that the transports can unload troops into friendly territory.

Since, in this position, it really makes a big difference if those units are in Phi or not, i propose that we roll this battle here, with the forum dicey, if you choose to attack Phi.

Sorry about that, but i hope you’ll be ok with that.

err was tired here…

It can be edited on US turn, so there will be no need to use the forum dicey.

So, 2inf, 2tnk from Japan to Phi, 2tr sz6 to sz35 before USA play.

Thanks.

Playing against you has taught me a lot of rules I didn’ think possible.  Thanks!  Hopefully I can use them against you at some point!

@Infrastructure:

Playing against you has taught me a lot of rules I didn’ think possible.  Thanks!  Hopefully I can use them against you at some point!

Believe me, i’ve learned those rules the same way you did with me !

:lol:

Will do tonight, Axisplaya.

We planned for a retake of either Phillipines or Kwangtung, but I don’t believe we saw your bombers hitting that transport off Australia.

After all we’ve been through together, the rest of this turn will decide our fate!  :-D

That’s what i think !

According to my calculations, you’re gonna need a miracle to retake Phi or Kwa.

Septimus and I talked about it : we’d love to play another game with you guys after this one.

Maybe you could kick our asses with the Axis, we so need to practice ou allies play !

I have to say - it’s been an epic struggle, regardless of outcome. This is what we play for.

And I can say yes - Infrastructure and I would like a chance for redemption. 0 - 3 vs Imhotep would be unacceptable!  :-D

Axisplaya - I’m bringing 2 US infantry, 5 fighters, and a tac bomber to Phillipines.

I’m not attacking your transports in SZ35.

I have all US boats on the SZ, with the exception of the 4 US carriers.

Do you send kamikazes?

I apologize that I can’t send a saved game… the “Select Units to Suicide Attack…” screen came up, and I can’t save it.

I’m using just 1 kami to stop the bombard, and i’ll have 5 more to take care of the Anzac Cruiser.

also, the 2 1st casualties are going to be the bombers for Japan.

Well, I have to say - wow. For now, any crying over early round Japanese luck has to end for Infrastructure and I. That was an incredibly lucky round in the battle where it mattered most.

The Anzac battle is 51% victory in Phillipines. It doesn’t get much closer than that.

Jeez….indeed, the americans were brilliant in that battle…

DO you use any kamikazes on the brit crz and batt entering the phillipines waters?
