Well that is the game. It is impossible for the Allies to take back a Europe Victory City since there are no ground troops in position to make any attacks.

Thank you for the game! Sorry about the piss poor dice you had. You never had a chance because of it.

@majikforce
I have not played BM3 yet however I agree that it makes a big difference not being able to reloot a capital. I doubt this Japan strategy would work in BM3. It is costly to trade India for Japan and that extra money makes the difference. For BM3 I am guessing a China first strategy is what I would use.

Happy to play again. Please let me know your placement of $35.

Oh! I should post my revised edit policy to see if you agree using it. It is VERY lenient. Trying to fit in with the easy going people on this website. :)

a) Once a combat roll is made no edits of any kind before the combat roll occurred are allowed with one exception. Forgotten Units. A “Forgotten Unit” is a unit that never moved during that Power’s Turn and that unit unequivocally and without any doubt was just forgotten to be moved and that the requested edited move is obviously the intended move if the unit had not been forgotten. Any doubt, no matter how small, voids this exception. Including any potential gain of knowledge received due to dice rolls.
b) Once Opponent B has posted in any format a portion of their current Turn no edits of Opponent A’s previous Turns are allowed. This includes “Forgotten Units”.
c) Any Edit necessary to fix an illegal move. Such as flying a plane over a Neutral into combat. Not unloading combat ground troops picked up during the Combat Move phase from a transport during an Amphibious Attack. Not placing all possible units during the Mobilize New Units phase.
