Not sure why JJ hasn’t responded. I thought I told him about you waiting yesterday…
Will find out.

Sorry about the ridiculous amount of time. The new baby is keeping us up, and JJ started a new job. I intend to post sometime tonight after reviewing JJ’s strategy. He kinda went a different direction instead of bombers. Regardless, I should be able to come up with something.
wow, didn’t know that. thanks.
to be honest, i never check the marti dice, i figure if you have to cheat to win, more power to ya. JJ is probably the same way. Looks good. I will stay on him regarding a japan move.
Hey Wheatbeer, I am talking to JJ over the phone right now.
If you rolled your combat and forgot about those 2 territories, but have yet to post via Triplea, please edit them in if you desire. Just roll the dice on the forums for CM of Sakha, figure you will send 2-6 troops to kill it.
the baby finally came, JJ just came up to see her. A few days break sounds delicious.
lol, 7 hits at Manchuria! too funny.
sorry, gotta lot on my mind right now…baby still in there, not coming out. Belay the last, I read the 3 bomber noncom move…that was more than I thought he would move with, but meh. He is up to something.
If you guys could…there is a noncom move that may be important that JJ needs to address. He was supposed to fly 1 german bomber into China.
I haven’t talked to him on the phone about it, but I am pretty sure he wanted to send 1 bomber…
please wait till I call him tomorrow morning, or he can respond to this post.
Thanks JJ, sorry bout myself not posting. Personal life is pretty chaotic atm. Sorry about the mess guys. Once the child is born things should return to normal.
Still here…long weekend, etc. Will be tough to get move posted before Sunday.
I WILL post by Sunday, but if I get ahold of JJ, perhaps Saturday.
Happy 4th!
I have asked JJ to take a greater role in this game as I have inlaws from Europe visiting tomorrow for 3 weeks. The baby is due “any” time. And frankly, I have a lot on my plate. I am still playing per se, but JJ shall have to post as I doubt I will be able to look at my moves for an hour or 2 with company here. He should be able to take a greater role as he should be finishing up another of his games. I will still check in and marvel at JJ’s terrible rolls though :) and call and complain about it :)
just wow on the rolls. Granted you sent overwhelming force to win, but still…
I am not sure about the specifics of your plan, but the generalities should hold true concerning your idea.
Against a conventional player bombers will throw them for a loop. I am including a game with Alsch91, a great adversary who unfortunately disappeared.
America built bombers…and more bombers. See how we use them - similar to your concept. It was a super tight game and technically isn’t finished, although the AA that got his bomber would have allowed a strafe of his german fleet.

You have 5 fighters(3 anzac/2UK) to intercept 2 fighters and 4 bombers for SBR India. Let me know if you intend for an air battle to occur, otherwise, the bombers go on to their respective targets.
On a side note I realize my moves are taking a long time, but I am about to have another child and I keep gettin wife aggro.
Regardless, thanks for your patience.
