…also, its fine, I resign. Didn’t have much time lately. And yes, the game was won for the Allies, there was just no way to get Moscow AND Egypt AND prevent the Allied fleet from getting either of Rome/Berlin/Paris. Probably we couldn’t even get Egypt once British+USA puts lots of aircraft there (time is on their side).

Still, it was a nice game. That one early error with the 3 Japanese Transport really hurt us. Did you just then start the strategy to play 100% Pacific, or was it a plan from the beginning on?

GG!

…well, yeah I can do Japan ahead.

inf-Yenisey -> Yakut if alive
Bom-Buryatia -> Kiangsu, then land in Okinawa
inf-Hawaii -> WestUSA, Car+tac+Transport -> sz10
DD-Hawaii -> sz11
all inf+art-Manchuria -> Korea

…well, I was angry about Samara so I got confused with the noncombat. Did a small change (sub back to sz125 to deny Russian NO).

…well, battlescore 104, wow. Or rather 84 because 2fgt crashed. You even kept one Carrier alive if I got that right. Downside is your fgt’s on their way to Moscow will take a few more turns. I didn’t expect it to be that cost-efficient for you.

Now it’s “do or die” for the Euro-Axis. CHAAAARGE! The Endsieg will come!!11! :-D

…well, on 2nd looks, lose the DDs before the Carriers. Shouldn’t really matter except if USA rolls really terribly bad.

And it’s not necessary to do it round by round. I can’t retreat anyway :)

…well, scramble and OOL ist both correct thumpsup

…well, I thought there was only one empty (US-)Carrier. Hmmm. If all US-fgt can fight in sz6, I’d rather keep the fgt in sz6 instead of using it in sz26. You may reroll the sz26-battle if you want, it’s only 1DD+1tac vs 1sub then.

…well, yeah, this is really a fun game.

Here’s Japan.

Combat Orders:

• sz26 (Hawaii): if the sub scores a hit (and Japan doesn’t), lose the DD and retreat to sz25(Midway).

no Noncombat moves, I already did them. If sz26 was retreated, land the tac sz25 of course.

Placement:

• FIC 3inf
• sz6 2sub 2DD

If the USA attacks sz6 with everything (including the 4fgt-Suiyuyan), scramble everything (tac+fgt) and use the 6 Kamikazes to 6 different ships (2Cru 4DD). If they attack with less, I’ll look at it first :)

Hmmm on second thought not all the 4fgt can fight in sz6. Never mind :)

Gnarf, upload folder is full again. I’ll send you the save-file per email.

…well, hmmmm, Tambov. crawling his beard

After attacking Pearl Harbor ten rounds ago, Japan is now able to conquer it. This is obviously the turning tide in the Pacific Theatre. Pacific Domination is now established, it will be a question of a few days before the Axis Endsieg is achieved  :-D

Will post Japan tomorrow evening. I’m in the CET timezone, so that’s roundabout 18 hours from now. Japan will hold sz6, and probably the Hawaii-seazone as well, if I get to find some realistic odds for that.

…well, looks good judging from the turn summary.

…well, this is Germany’s move, before Combat. I did as many Noncombat Moves as possible, the rest is:

Combat Orders:
both Smolensk and Vologda: as soon as our inf is hit, retreat the Bom

Noncombat Moves:

• Bom-Smolensk: land in NorthPersia
• Bom-Vologda: land in Caucasus
• AAgun-Rostov: to Caucasus
• 3Mec-Belarus: to Rostov
• 6inf-sz115: unload to Novgorod
• everything-Normandy: to France
• IF Smolensk OR Vologda is still Russian: 1sub-sz112 to sz125 (block Russian Archangel-NO)

Placements:

• Volgograd: 3Arm
• Ukraine: 2inf 1art
• Novgorod: 2inf 1art
• Romania: 1Arm 2Mec
• WestGermany: 3inf 1art
• Germany: 1Mec 1Arm

The OOL for NorthPersia or some airstriked territories depends on the attacker’s forces. I’ll post the OOL when I see the respective Combatmove :)

…well, here is Italy. There were no combats to roll, so this is a save after the placement. I can’t roll the convoydamage obviously.

My mind says it’s a risky I just did. But my guts wanna do this. And who am I to use my minds? :D

…well, no problem.

ShanState gnarfz, but very lucky rolls in Northwest Persia.

…well, hell, seems like I’m cursed. Looks like my teammate has lost his motivation and I can’t get internet and TripleA working on the same machine. :-(. I’ll do the Combatmove, and you can roll the dice, and I’ll write the full Noncombatmoves and Placements.

Here’s Japan 10, until the Combat starts.

Combat Orders:

• Shan State: As soon as our inf is hit, retreat the fgt.

Noncombat Moves:

• fgt from ShanState: land in FIC
• Bombers sz19 and sz21: land in Japan
• all fgt and tac sz19 and sz21: land on Carriers sz6
• if we lost DD in sz19, move DD from sz6 to sz19
• if we lost DD in sz21, move DD from sz6 to sz18. If there is no DD in sz6 anymore, use a Cruiser instead.

Placements:

• 3inf FIC
• rest (DD + 4sub) sz6

Once again sorry, I can really understand if you are annoyed now. I’ll try to keep up like I did this move, I really like this game. Although you have a very strong production lead, it is still not yet decided I think.

…well, my Internet is broken for a few days. Don’t know when it’s gonna work again. Currently I’m carrying files around with a USB-stick :-). We’ll try to keep the gamespeed up, but it will probably be slower than usual.

…well, I assumed carefully that you didn’t want to sacrifice your fgt-London to the full power of the German Luftwaffe. :) If you want anyway, you can roll some forum-dice and I’ll redo the Noncombatmove.
