oysteilo and mikawagunichi vs Booper and gamerman01 (allies)

@mikawagunichi

I’m playing PTV for the first time - the map is a significant difference!

@Booper Good to hear, welcome to the club!

Hey guys, thanks for patience, I have time to look at USA/UK Europe now and will try to work together so we’ll see if team Allies can get it done soon

Friendly point to @mikawagunichi ,
G40 rules actually require that all amphibious assaults must be rolled before all others, so Borneo should have been rolled before Z22
Not a factor in this situation, but if you didn’t know the rule, I should point it out the same way @JDOW did to me so many years ago

Tight play, @mikawagunichi , as expected. Very crisp.

Oh! I was not aware of this rule either. Good to know. Not that it matters, a rule is a rule, but wondering if there is a rationale for it. Maybe some unique situation caused it to come about…

I assumed no Kamikaze in SZ22 to keep the game moving. If you would like to use Kamikazes, please roll on the forum, and adjust the outcome in edit accordingly.

Also, @gamerman01 is going to make the US Atl NCM in edit during the beginning of UK’s turn.

China’s turn forthcoming - thanks!

@Booper Correct assumption on no kami.

@gamerman01 I am aware, typically just click through the battles unless there is an interdependency where order matters but happy to play it more by the book if you guys wish. And no rush on the turns.

Super, guys, mikawa for the patience and understanding, and booper for clearly explaining how we’re splitting up USA and doing it with edits this turn in TripleA

Great that you knew the rule mika, and I won’t get upset if you do it out of order when it totally doesn’t matter, I mainly wanted to make sure you knew about it before it could potentially be an issue.

As to what made the rule, Krieghund’s your guy. It would be a fascinating answer. He just answered one today, so he’s around
