Gonna see if I can make time today to move
Hopefully I can get MARTI to cooperate and can at least post a file
Japan turn attached. Looks like the online dice worked fine, but this version (7527) doesn’t let me post, so I saved and uploaded the save file here
NCM of fighter from Yunnan to Phil, changed to Malaya (Yunnan to Malaya in NCM, plane not used in combat)
Tac from Yunnan attacked Burma (3 movement left), then moved to Malaya in NCM. Edited to Anhwe (3 movement from Burma)
yeah you should load the new version 7398 works fine. I will post over the weekend

And for the record for americas turn, the sea battle in sz 44 is automatic as first battle by triple A, chosen automatically by triple a before (any other battle) the landing in aleutian……

This auto-rolling is really annoying. It does not add any value. It is totally acceptable to click and choose each battle manually.

Sure, no problem, understood
I don’t like auto-rolling either, of course :-)
Another huge delay - I guess I’m finding that I’ve lost a lot of interest in the big G40 game and I’m sorry you’re the victim. I could be persuaded to forfeit, but if you would like me to finish out the game I certainly will. Unfortunately, apparently for me playing G40 has become more work than fun
Okey. Obviously I am not going to make you play out this game if you don’t want to. Things happen so no worries. If you want this game to have a silent death it is your choice!
Thanks for the answer - no, I’ll finish it out if you don’t mind the very slow pace, I just wanted to do the honorable thing and forfeit if my slow pace is irritating you, thanks!!
Ok, I am fine with a slow pace, I am also fine with calling it a draw. Either way is ok
I would like a draw, yes, thank you.
Good game, well played, and thanks for all the understanding and kindness!

OK, a draw is fine then!
as always I am interested in any feedback on what I did well/not so well. Obviously I have had kind dice most of the game, sure that helps, but right now I feel I have a pretty solid stand. I was somewhat worried you might have attacked my fleet of queensland/landing in queensland this past round, but at the end of the day your odds are not great, but also not terrible. It would have been a risky move and either outcome would probably have decided the game. I realized too late I had overextended a little bit.
It was also cool of you to let me re-do the blocking around London a couple of rounds ago
I also feel this game is kind of weired because America has “no” units on either side in round 8
Hey Oysteilo, because you were asking, one feedback from my side:
You buy way too many DDs and are way to spewy with them saccing them as blockers. In many occasions even when you do not had to block at all.
I recommend to keep the amount of DDs limited. Of course you need the potential to block and you need to be able to chase subs down and you need some cannon fodder to protect your transports. But often fighters, transports and subs are the better investment. Fighters are way more versatile and can fight (and defend) on land and sea and can scramble, transports allow you to take islands and making amphibious assaults which is crucial and subs can do convoy, cannot be attacked by air only and are cheaper than DDs.
