Some miscalculations in that battle there, but well. I should have not chosen planes in the attack on Philippines since I was going there with 10 units anyway. Would that too big of a change for your taste? I could then re-roll the Philly battle, everything else would be as is I guess.

@oysteilo Oh yes sorry, that transport shall remain, apologies for forgetting that. Will add it back.

So what I did was only declare war on US, not ANZAC/UK. Up-side is that I could neglect your ANZAC figs in the attack, heavy downside is that I could not attack anything pertaining to them, such as gold islands, boats etc.

Ok, much obliged. Will then roll Philly battle here once we are in consent of the attack.

It is a sneaky thing Japan can do, has happened to me before, which may prove useful in certain situations. Will let you look it up before continuing. If you want, we can also ask another player?

Yes let’s do that. Will you?

About Philly, I asked if I could modify the attack and not use the two planes, but instead only 10 land units, which went there in the NCM. Need that extra AC for landing spots.

@oysteilo Yes, for as long as the rules of Neutrality can be maintained it will always be possible to only attack either UK/ANZAC or US. But as you know once one side is attacked the other can join the war on their next turn. First rounds in the pacific can be tricky.

Tell me when you have decided. I wouldn’t mind another game if it comes to that.

@oysteilo Could I adjust the Philly battle? Relevant to answer before I reply.

@oysteilo i could, but my placement of ships would be somewhat different. Your call.
