I really appreciate your understanding, and also comments about Yunnan and your inviting comments. Fantastic.
At first I thought, well, I’ll still attack Yunnan but of course with everything. But 3 of your casualties are AA and 2 inf.
Also, I could only go 1 round because in round 2 I would lose too much.
I think you will like the - quite different - turn I’ve come up with, I just need to finalize it.
If you start over again i would like you to post the combat move file, before you roll any dice. Surely, if you attack yunnan with everything it has consrquences elsewhere. I would also like to know how already rolled dice is handled
I’m not sure what you mean, so I’ll try to clarify.
My move was made with a big Russian stack in Burma instead of Yunnan. You told me I didn’t have the latest map. I said I’d have to re-do the turn then.
I might have confused the issue when I joined you in talking about the move, by saying that at first I thought about attacking Yunnan anyway, but this time with the rest of the units on FIC. But like I said I didn’t like that attack, and why. That was just hypothetical talk.
Since I had to re-do my turn, all the dice rolled the first time didn’t matter. I lose my win in Brazil, you lose your hits in Russia and China, etc. I lose my win in Yunnan. All of that was in a “fantasy world” because I had the wrong map.
I don’t know how we would handle it any other way, so I’m curious what you are thinking. You made a massive change to the board after I downloaded the map. For some reason I never saw your edit. Everyone allows it almost all the time, but technically when we post the move, it’s final unless you ask if it’s OK to edit. It’s common practice to do what you did, and I’ve done it many times, so it’s generally accepted as OK and I accepted yours as OK.
I have to re-do my turn because I missed your subsequent edit, and that was quite disappointing. If you’re saying some of the dice should stand, or that you’re not sure what should be done, just let me know what you have in mind. I’d love to keep my win in Brazil. But when I faced a drastically different situation in Yunnan I had to re-do my turn, and to me it was obvious that my first play on the unedited map was void.
Again, I’m not sore, just tell me what you aren’t sure about because it sounds like you’re unsure. But I think my telling you that I’m looking at it all as a clean slate and the move I made before is just totally void like it never happened, that maybe that clears it up for you?
I think we have the same understanding here. I also think the turn should start over again with the revised map, just like you say. I did not fully understand if you intended to cancel all or just some dice. That is why I asked for the combat move file. I think cancelling all dice and start over again is the best solution. But I am willing to listen to other options too. There isnt more to it than that. The russians to Burma was just a misclick, they dropper there instead of yunnan and I didnt realize it at once, hence the edit.
Perfect, I was hoping for smooth and understood, and clearly that’s what we have here!
We’ll see if I attack Brazil again. Do not have a good feeling about it this time ;)
Sorry for any mixed messages
Good grief I’ve been busy and tired.
Saturday’s open -
take your time, no worries
I appreciate that -
I’m lagging in my A&A games and don’t want to, so apply stress to myself - stress that I don’t need
How is this coming along?
I haven’t had a good slot of time where I have energy for this :(
I’ve had big life stresses come up in the past couple months and busier time of the year at work
I’m supposed to be playing a 2024 OOB playoff, and in a hot Classic tournament game, which could have me in 2 Classic tournaments at the same time soon, so I arguably should quit, but looking at it, it’s a fascinating game we have here. Both sides pretty well dug in and the Axis obviously need to make some gains and are losing South America, so I’m conflicted right now.
I haven’t taken on any new games for months, except I couldn’t turn down the 2026 Classic games where probably I’ll be mopping people in the first couple rounds and I did get a bye.
If you ask for a resignation, I’d give it. If you say “play when you can” that’s what I’d do.
I won’t play UHD again unless maybe they redraw it to be easier to see. I’ve never played against the Yunnan bid, and that was very rough. I could have resigned at G1 after that bottom 4% Paris result that set me way back, caused the evacuation of Italians from Africa, and Russia scooped up 5 NOs, so with strong Russia and strong China, well, I learned years ago the Axis hardly every win in that case.
Thank you for kindly asking for progress, let me know what you think.
The intentions were just a freindly reminder on the status and your thoughts. I got that so its all fine. Just play when you can, but always nice with a comment every now and then if it drags out
Hi Guys
Just in case I didn’t mention this, you can lighten the map so it’s easier to see dudes. Mostly Italy proper, parts of SSR and ANZC Islands.
Swap out “map.properties” and turn on Map Blends.
Hmm … can’t upload them here. Putting in a zip doesn’t work either. Well You can DL latest and swap it from there or tweak existing.

Thanks Barnee! I’ve been able to see good, thank you

Well that’s the answer I was hoping for, I think!
I understand, I’m sorry, I just try really hard not to keep posting “I think I can do it this weekend!” or “Tomorrow!” because I don’t like giving predictions/promises and breaking them, I know you understand.
I’ll remember to just post that I know it’s my turn, sorry, or something in the future
I do want to continue, there are a lot of cool things going on
