I’ll call a pause, we may alter our ncm…

If it doesn’t matter to Italy whether the British bb is in sz55 or sz46 feel free to proceed with Italy otherwise I ask that you wait until our team has discussed this issue and potentially altered our ncm.

It probably doesn’t matter to Italy.

You can reserve the right to move it if Italy goes before you decide.

Splendid.  :-)

Would you be okay if we maybe redid the turn there’s somthing wrong that we won’t be able to change with moving around a few NCM or would this be too much in your opinion.
We’re not quite decided if it’s really necessary but if you won’t allow it it’s a mood point anyway.

To be more specific it was the American turn that went a little of course due to miscommunication. So the “turn” we are asking to redo is the whole US-China-UK turn.

Another example of miscommunication the proposed seazone was sz54 since that fleet can’t reach sz55. :-)

Since one of your land units hit and 3 planes weren’t actually necessary, I don’t see the need to re-roll New Guinea.  If you adjust your fleet positions based on the freedom of not having sent fighters from SZ56, that’s fine with me.

I hope that’s cool with kilroy (if not, we can let Gargantua decide) … in the meantime you can post an adjusted map.

I’ll get to it soon.

So here’s our modified map as you can see we just moved over the ships from Z46 to Z54.

Wow this really doesn’t seem to be the round to take on some minor single defenders.

Thanks for being good sports :-)

Yeah thanks. I hope we can make it up some time when you screw up.

…it’s only a matter of time…  and of course we would be OK with the move. G40 is so complex and even tougher with a team… via email!  Sure is fun though and don’t want to swing a game because of some obvious miscue.
