War has been declared

I’d like to roll India.  SA can do his soften attack first then I’ll roll on Sunday when I return from vacation.  Good game all.

@FMErwinRommel:

In the prior turn, I planned on using my homeland ftrs to replace ones that I expected to lose in the Solomons sea battle.  When I didn’t lose any ftrs there, I should have sent the new ftrs to FIC, so they could land in India this turn.  But I didn’t change my plans.  Turns out those new ftrs were not able to participate against ANZ, and U.S. didn’t advance to within range.   It never ceases to amaze me, considering how wild the dice can be, how the computer bat calc sim results change so much with a 2 or 3 unit change on one side or the other, when the total units are so large (over 80) and the attack and defense power numbers are so even (around 200).

Alot of plastic is about to melt on the board.

Looking forward to SA / DA’s double punch result!

I’m game for a round 2 as russia again - with Dawg and Erwin on the allied side!

If you’ll have me…

Great game all!  SA set up the game.  I’m playing Germany and Italy with SA playing Japan.  I’ll make my first move tomorrow.

Sad to see the sudden collapse of the Japanese empire.  We still have more units and TUV than either Britain or Russia.  Portions of the empire will shrink rapidly.  Even with the arrival of the secret high tech German weapons, the end is inevitable.  But the Japanese gardener in Madagascar and the troops in the Phil and Borneo will fight on in the jungles for decades.

On to the switching of sides.  The allies will decide how to spend their 12 bid points.  Dawg, we have to choose powers.

D.A. and S.A.:  I will play Brit, ANZ and I guess Fra.  Dawg will play U.S. and China.  Bid builds totaling 12 PU are Brit armor in Egypt, art in Ang-Egy Sudan and 2 P.U. leftover for Brit.

Way to go U.K. Nice!
