Bloody hell Seb! What on earth are you up to!!! :x

What do you mean?!?!  :-o

@Elrood:

What do you mean?!?!  :-o

Making light of your bad luck Seb. Better than crying over it!

😭

@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?

I am not fxxxing losing as the side that should have lost and have you rub  our bloody noses in it, like you are the better pair. Especially now that you know how to play the other side.
Would be a bit shit fir us.

@wittmann:

Would be a bit ���� fir us.

Can’t do it unless everyone is up for it Leo.

The thought wasn’t to rub noses in anything, but to gain a fuller understanding of the variant before moving on. For example my snap judgement on the European axis was presumably wrong and I would like to find out.

But, as I say, we can only play what everyone wants. So to reiterate my previous posting - I am happy to give anything a go.
