@Credulous:

Can you guys stop fannying around waiting for 100% odds and just win it already. Otherwise I will resign……

Can’t we enjoy it for a bit longer before we run your noses in it?😈

Persia and China went well below expected average.

Hawaii was too secure… I couldn’t take it.

Might change next turn!  :evil:

Congratulations and total bollocks again.
Enjoy your victory

new game? pls check the attached file

Oztea’s 41 1.8.0.3.tsvg

The main differences I can see are:

• Lots more units
• DEI are all UK or Anzac’s
• France, French Africa & Syria are G’s
• FIO is J’s
• Changes in fleet positioning, such as J fleet off Midway

No change to NOs, rules or unit rostas?

Always happy to give anything a go and this might be a laugh.

But I would personally like to play allies in the 1942 variant first. I started our last game believing the axis Europe starting situation was unwinnable!

Perhaps we simply swap sides - Seb and I as allies.

Then a couple of games of this new variant, where I partner with Mark, as each side?
