No scramble

Well I’ve discovered 8 is a terrible bid because it really limits the possibilities. Even by adding 1 the options open right up.

So I’ll go with a British sub in SZ98 and the remaining 2 to the UK-Pacific.

Good luck!

I might change the placement.

Give me a sec to think about it.

ok, well I’ve stared at the screen for quite a while trying to devise some way that I can pull off a masterstroke to steal a win. However, there just isn’t one there.

It’s only a matter of time before Japan wins this one for you. They will take India next turn and then decide which other VC to take without much resistance.

I can be a little annoying in Europe, but even if Japan was struggling you would get a Europe win in not too long.

This was all probably known a turn or so ago but I felt it would be a good idea to keep going to see how the game plays out.

If you are interested would you like to play another? Either same teams or switched wouldn’t phase me. It might be interesting to play the same teams again to see what we’ve learned (and not repeat that caroline islands trap!).

I can’t check this because I don’t have access to a PC until the morning, but can Russia do anything? Off the top of my head I don’t think they can. If this is the case feel free to click the boxes and take Japan’s next turn.

No submerge.

Sorry, crazy weekend.

Made a small edit during the placement stage of the British. I forgot to move a sub from SZ81 to SZ98 during NCM so edited it in.

And a question for you. TripleA allowed me to ‘buy’ 1 infantry during the Chinese turn. However I couldn’t figure out where it could be placed. Was there somewhere I could put it? or is this a small TripleA bug?
