Checked; you were correct about the sub as an escort for a TT.

Take care of the important business first; our game can wait.

@mr_stucifer

J DD was lost in the second round along with the 2CVs and CA. So, could not fight this third round. It would not matter, as Japan score more hits than US could take.

@mikawagunichi

The Italian marine should have gone to Gibraltar via the BB.

@mikawagunichi

Did not intercept SBR on FIC because the odds were 2.5 to 1.

@mikawagunichi

Well, this inconvenient. I had already planned the destruction of the US Pacific fleet.

@mikawagunichi

Forgot to move the German navy in 118 to 116 and the sub in 116 to 128. I can repost or edit in before J18.

@mikawagunichi

Good grief. Thanks, the German army in Smolensk should have retreated to N. Belurus.

@ArtofWar1947

Please put 1 of the Japanese DDs in 47 in 50.

@mikawagunichi

By both sides.

@mainah

One of infantry units that went from Jehol to S. Manchuria should have gone to Chahar. I’ll edit this change on IT4.

@aequitas-et-veritas

Glad to hear you are back. I look forward to continuing our game. Best, Art

Did not see any point in sacrificing an Italian inf and a fighter (or two) for a likely outcome of 1 hit. Three hits, which would have helped seemed extremely unlikely.

@gamerman01

I did not bump out as the rules allow, because I wanted to AetV one final chance to continue our game at a reasonable pace. For example, the following delays seem unnecessary–
*waiting from 3-15 @11:03 am for an opponent to take his turn on 3-18 @ 12:01 pm (no bump);
*waiting 2.5 days after making a non-surprising scramble decision (on 3-31 @ 1:08 pm) for my opponent to conduct the battle (on 4-3 @ 5:26 am);

• waiting 6 days (4-6 @ 9:41 am to 4-12 @ 11:02 am) for a weaken and nearly broke Italy to take its turn.

I offered to continue our interesting game if we could play without unnecessary delays. The bump rules are in place to keep games going at a reasonable pace. It is not unsporting to expect an opponent to adhere to the rules.

@gamerman01

I am willing to continue, but I would appreciate being notified if there is to be delay.

@Gorshak

I had planned to buy a tac for Russia, but must have clicked on a fighter instead. With your permission, I will edit the change on the US turn.

@aequitas-et-veritas

I’ll restore the tac to N. Bela.

@aequitas-et-veritas

Yes, you are correct. Sorry, did not get much sleep the two weeks prior and forgot how to count. This explains why the program would only let me move two tanks and a MI ti Timguska. Program was correct; human was vey confused. Edited US28 so that US stops at Yenisey with 9tanks and 5 MIs, restored ownership of Timguska to Germany, added back the two German infantry, and reduce US ipcs from 115 to 114.

@Gorshak
Have been helping the wife try to buy a new car (complicated process) this week. Will try to get back our (complicated) game tomorrow.

@Gorshak

My aim–not clearly or effectively expressed–was to say that your forgetting to protect the IC in Germany was a only a minor oversight with minor consequences (not to air my disappointment with Marti). Put differently, compared to my major oversights to protect two Ally fleets and their disastrous consequences, you should not feel badly.
