Wow, hold up.  Anzac is supposed to be there.  Did I forget to NC them?

@alexgreat:

you moved them away last round.

Haha, did I really?  Not sure what was going on in my mind there.  Well obviously I didn’t mean to do that.  Can we put them back and you can rewind to any point that you want between now and then?

I know you don’t have to grant that request, but it is a courtesy that I give to my opponents so I don’t think it’s unreasonable for me to ask on occasion.  You can ask anyone I play with regularly, I give stuff like that back to anyone I play with.

@alexgreat:

Its not unreasonable.

If your intention was to move with the US to Australia as well and unify the fleet, then I think you made a mistake you shouldnt be able to take back. And why would you move Anzac this way, fighters and ships, that is unlikely just to happen by mistake.

But if you tell me that that was not your intention at all, I will just redo Japan and edit Anzac back there without thinking twice.

In any case, I dont rewind to before losing my 2 bombers to AA fire :)

Taking the island was intentional, I guess.

Yeah, thanks a lot Alex.  Yeah Java was intentional.  To be honest I don’t know what the heck I was thinking pulling Anzac back to 54.  I sometimes I play my turns late at night after the wife and kids are in bed and I think I was on auto pilot.  I think the rough idea in my brain was unifying the fleet.  But I guess something slipped up in my head about turn order that that should happen.

I’d feel bad if i beat you after you let me take something that big back.  Does letting play on for a draw sound fair?

@Pherman1215:

Just to clarify, I mean that if I beat you it’s a draw and if you beat me then it’s a win for you.

@alexgreat:

no, its ok, you play on to win, as will I.

Give me back one of the two German bomber, if you feel you need to compensate, but dont feel obliged, because….

… I am certain you confused turn order, and its an honest mistake.

And I can empathize with playing after bringing kid to bed…

So, to emphasize, I dont consider this game to be tainted.

Thanks Alex, you’re the man.

Out of curiosity, did you forget that subs can go through the Gibraltar canal?
