It was not able for me to give UK Pac the bid. Therefor it was impossible, to give UK any units on the pacific board. But I assume, it’s still within the bid rules, to place a British Inf on Borneo.
I await any scramble orders.
I can’t think of why it wouldn’t be allowed to place a UK Pac bid, just edit it after combat phase or I can do that as Russia.
Scramble fighter to SZ 111, no scramble in the channel.
Hi, I’d like a G40 opponent, please PM if you are interested in a game. (Full disclosure it will be my first play by forum game so bear with me if I ask stupid questions)
I’m looking for a few challenging games of global 1940 2nd Edition to be played at a leisurely rate of about one email/day. I’m fairly decent but by no means an expert and am willing to play with any level of player.
My preference is dice but other than that I’m willing to play bid/nobid, tech/notech etc.
If you are interested please let me know by post or by PM and we will set things up!
/Cheers
