@pejon_88 one anzac fig on a US carrier

@pejon_88 that is certainly fine.

@gamerman01 sounds good.

@gamerman01 GG. I could try to flail around for a couple of more turns but I don’t think I am able to turn this around. Well played!

Congrats AD for the win and to both of you for what looked to be an intense, hard fought, and fast final!

@me1945 ok. Fair enough. I should have looked at that more closely on Germany’s turn.

@me1945 that is correct. I see though you put a uk sub down for me. I meant anzac. I will adjust.

@gamerman01 @Soulblighter moving this here if that is alright since this is the discussion page. I was going to add that the 97 attack is a bit less common now I think so the sub in 98 is less common too. I tend to place my bid to constrain G1 choices so usually subs in 91 and 106 or around the UK.

I think gamerman is right that the bid has gotten a little high. But if and when @axis-dominion, @JDOW and @Adam514 rejoin the league, we might find it a little low. :)

@gamerman01 I like the gib air base move as my UK1. It doesn’t knock the italian fleet out but it contains it and conserves the UK navy to threaten both Germany and Italy. So the sub in 91 both protects that cruiser (which I’ve also seen as a target that can mess up my UK plans) and gives you a way to hit the Italian destroyer without trading your own or risking a plane.

@soulblighter I do the marine in India if I’m confident that axis aren’t going for a J1 or J2 (some players are pretty consistently a J3). I’m sure a transport off SA works well if you are going to hit Italy in Africa hard on UK1/2 and get the Mid East. But the subs in the Atlantic make German naval attacks riskier and I find it helps me set up the allies in the atlantic more quickly.

that should read “any game started now but not completed”

so the full comment should be: any game started now but not completed in 2022 will count to 2023 (assuming it finishes then). If games finish just after Dec 31st 2022, there might be some latitude. Some players may start to declare a game is going to count for next year, but that is usually because it is unlikely to finish in time.

thanks all for the suggestions. It works to do play by email so I at least have an option.

In the long run I will want play by forum fixed so I can do that when that option is available again. I did re download the release to see if that made a difference and it didn’t. I didn’t try the pre release as I thought that would not be compatible with the games I’m currently in. Am I right on that?

@trulpen No problem. I figured it was just a miscount and didn’t want to win a game on something like that.

@elche @gamerman01 so never mind. It looks like I got that wrong ( I saw the response to gamerman’s query.) Surprised I’ve been playing this wrong for the last 5 years.

@oysteilo it was the dice, which then forced you to gamble.

@oysteilo Fair enough. When you want to do another, let me know.

@amon-sul Based on the games I have played, J3 seems to be the most common but J1, J2, and J4 are all in the mix too. I’ve used J2 through 4 this year and have had all of them used against me.

I can’t speak to PTV as I haven’t played that yet.

@farmboy and GL&HF!

I don’t have emails either but they should get an email if they are linked that way.

@gamerman01 with me1945 claiming that game, @axis-dominion is also eligible to join us. He and I had a draw earlier which gets him to 6 games. I’ve messaged him in case he is interested.

@gamerman01 yeah. I thought it was worth reminding him but if he hasn’t posted yet, it makes sense to just go ahead.
