Yes. I made the combat move but totally forgot to move against the 2 DDs at Japan.

So after rolling combat against the southern DD I redid the turn it, just left the southern DD battle out (as it was rolled already before) and simply edited them out after combat.

Is no harm done, as both battled dont influence each other. right?

Well… the situation for Allies is so dire…

if we want to have ANY chance now, we need some lucky battles… And I am not even sure that this is enough

Do I hear sobbing?
You can lose this one, Seb. It is Axis favoured, after all.

Hope you are having a good day at work, Cred.

@wittmann:

You can lose this one, Seb. It is Axis favoured, after all.

And Cred told me there is a forum thread saying that this variant utterly favours the allies!?

@Private:

Yes this is what puzzles me most.

So I chose to tell we need some good dice as opposed to blatantly saying that Leos Russian Strategy fucked us up!  :evil:

Russian strategy? :roll:

@Private:

Russian strategy? :roll:

I couldnt be THIS blatant after all.  :lol:

Plus am not sure re R’s taking of the ME. Sure it gives some valuable ipcs to R. But it costs the allies factories and production down there for the whole game. We identified this as an allied weakness immediately Leo Staliniski took those territories.

What is your view Seb?

Is a good point.

It would help Russia more if they had a better stance, but they lost territories left and right so quickly, that now that iraq/persian territories dont do much good.

But UK has 2 ICs in Egypt and SA already. And i don’t feel I have much leftover production to spit out more units there, as I must man SZ110 / London as well.

So its not that bad after all.

Interesting…. Thanks Seb.
