Lots of rust showing AND horrible dice - enjoy :-)

The allies are grateful for -9 total on J1. maybe a little risky to walk in with only 2 inf to Yunnan?
How do you feel about scramble/intercept questions? Do you want to be asked in all situations or is it OK to assume if the answer is sort of obvious?
Thanks for asking
OK to assume in obvious situations, but if you are wrong in your assumptions, I think the opponent should get every benefit of the doubt (please see league rules)
90% of players I encounter are unaware of the rules about the proper order of conducting combat
All SBR is to be rolled first
Then all amphibious assaults
All the other battles rolled only after that
Thanks again

Yes, like I said, rusty
Forgot I needed a man to prevent artillery build - should have taken 3

So no, I won’t be upset at all if you assume my choices, but if I would have chosen differently, I might require a re-roll or even a complete re-do of all combat rolls. But this is almost never necessary - I always look for a reasonable solution that is agreeable with my opponent

OK. I read your original post, then read it again, but couldn’t quite figure out what you were refering to…… Now I understand and yes I was one of the 90%, now i am one of the 10%. So if you have multiple battles to do it goes like this
1. Any bombing raids has priority 1 and must be done first
2. Any amphibious assults has priority 2 and is second
3. All other battles
I will respect the rules from now on. However, it is not obvious to me in which situations this might be important. Any ideas? And thanks for bringing this to my attention
