Hectic time of the year for me - gotta beat my big annual deadline of 3/31 with my work
So I won’t be as regular :-( but I always know when it’s my turn in a game and it bugs me every day until I make the move
If these dice won’t turn around again, then I probably won’t be long for this game anyway, and neither of the other two first round games have finished, as I’m sure you realize :-)

JDOW

No problem!

and neither of the other two first round games have finished, as I’m sure you realize

Not exactly. Ghost vs Zhuk is over, Zhuk is waiting for the winner from ME1945 vs Juan ;) Crazy game those gents are playing. Frankly, Juan has a better position than I expected after he lost the Japanese bombers early, however the Russians had some bad dicing as far as I remember.

gamerman01

Ah - hehe, must not have been memorable to me because I forgot one of those games is over

gamerman01

This is probably the same time of year I made Zhukov wait too…… busy season… thanks for your patience

JDOW

Alright, thanks for the update.

gamerman01

I will be moving soon though - today or tomorrow. Helps that the nerquen game is over and kid doesn’t move much any more

gamerman01

Other games seduced me
Can probably play from work soon :-D
True gamers find a way

gamerman01

Alright, I finally downloaded the map and am studying now
It doesn’t look nearly as bad as it felt after G2. I mean, a complete whiff in 97, that is very disappointing.

@Gamerman01:

Here we go now:D

Well, unprovoked is something I of course had on the radar and with 3 juicy japanese units at Yunnan I wanted to make it as unattractive as possible and not give targets at Siam for instance, kept the sub at Kwantung and did not leave anything in range of an attack of the Kwantung guys.
Thus, with the 3 convoy damage, I’d say Japan did what was in their power to not make unprovoked a killer move. It’s a valid option for sure but this is in the nature of the game.

However there is something going crazy in the med though :-o Mussolini has ordered to build additional bunkers^^ Hitler is unaffected by UK and course delighted to hear his intelligence news from Asia which will keep the GIs away for another turn.

However his eyes are - as my Hitler’s always are - on the red army!

gamerman01

Man was it hard to let those 3 subs all go

Time to go for the (very) soft underbelly :evil:

Here we go.

I will roll sz98 first.
Sir, could you please tell me your OOL for 1, 2 or (most likely :evil:) 3 hits in advance?
Then I would most likely not need to interrupt the battles with OOL choices.

Thanks!

gamerman01

No problem, but I’m confused. Why didn’t you roll them if Z98 is first?

I want maximum defense - sub, destroyer, then cruisers last
Wow, JDOW taking risks again!!

gamerman01

Oh, you just don’t like rolling some dice and then having to wait?? Weird, man :-)
