@discalced ah, ok, no problem.
I often/always save the CM and roll the dices offline. So I can simulate the outcome (and not intended combats) 😉

Hard move for me and not sure when I’ll have the energy and drive to do it - hope that’s OK - Gamer

@gamerman01 it’s all good. I’m happy to wait until you have the time and energy. And at the moment, I have more games going than I should.
-
Thanks again!!

-
@gamerman01 welcome back!
-
Thanks!!! Feels good. We have to get re-oriented and that takes some time - I apologize and thank you so much for patience and understanding. Should be a great game

Half done with UK, but receiving guests soon so will finish later tonight

I just saw these edits - I’ll look at them and make them again so this map will be right

I’m quite impressed by your setup by the way. I don’t think my head was fully into the game for the Italy/Germany turns and I was a bit sloppy. But your allies allies are setup very well on both sides.
-
Thank you! As I recall I had great dice on the Italian fleet and then the Germans had to clean up and lost 2 planes.
I hope the break didn’t disadvantage you.
I need to point out what someone else pointed out to me years ago - page 16 of the 2nd edition Europe rulebook says the combat sequence is
- Strat and tactical bombing raids
- Amphibious assaults
- General combat
That means every amphibious assault must be done before other battles. Usually it doesn’t really make a difference, but there are scenarios where not following this sequence gives the attacker an advantage - I of course always follow this sequence since somebody caught me doing it - thanks! You can tell others now ;)
