Well, if my USA fighters keep this up in the Pacific, you’ve got little to fear from 104 income

@Gamerman01:

Sheesh, heart attack over the Celebes -
this automatic rolling is terrifying sometimes

Agree, I really don’t like it^^

I need to take a deep breath before rolling the next die sometimes!  I guess I could look away.  I’ve been burned on those money islands with inf/art vs. single unit too many times…

Crap, Baltic States opened up without loss.  Well, I was lucky to have a man there in the first place…

OK, so I’m trying to visualize Italian bombers in Berlin IRL…… can’t do it  :lol:

Still in God mode, obviously.  That was criminal

@Gamerman01:

It usually doesn’t matter, but the rulebook requires that the order of conducting combat is

1. SBR
2. Amphibious assaults and requisite naval battles
3. All other

The battle in New Guinea should have been rolled first

Usually doesn’t matter, but is a good habit to get into, and I wanted to tell you in case someone would complain against you some day

Von Alba, I do expect everyone to follow the rule book.  You should have conducted combat on Z43 and then the Celebes first according to the rules.
