@JDOW:

Sigh, just realized I forgot to move the US DD from sz81 to sz80, now the UK dice have been rolled.
Please let me know if it is ok, to move the DD to 80.

Thanks!

I didn’t do the edit yet, as you need to allow it. I would ask you to do if you are fine with it or leave a comment if not. Thanks!

Of course you can.  I forget to edit. You do it please.

Could you please play a little bit faster? I find most of the time it takes you 2 days to do a single turn, even some very simple turn such as ANZ and France. This is just too slow. I would appreciate if you could check email more often and play promptly. Thank you very much.

@MagicQ:

Could you please play a little bit faster? I find most of the time it takes you 2 days to do a single turn, even some very simple turn such as ANZ and France. This is just too slow. I would appreciate if you could check email more often and play promptly. Thank you very much.

I am sorry to disappoint you but my personal information does not allow me to play faster. My wife even calls me crazy when I spend some evenings figuring out to to quality moves.
I play a very difficult position against a strong opponent. I either think about it or I can resign immediately what I don’t want to do in the bracket final.

And frankly, I recently played about 2 days average and the Anz5 came 1h after IT5, so it could be worse;)

I don’t mean to discourage you here.  i am only curious how it is possible to spend more than 20 min for this Russia turn. Buy all inf for max defence, No brainer. 2 land units+air to take Samara so that units in Kaza can go back home, No brainer. Take volgograd, No brainer again. Vologda? optional. Leaving it is not bad choice for max defence.  All in all, shouldn’t take much longer than 20min. No wonder your lady is telling you off. Seems I get some sort of alliance back at your own headquarter. LOL
