@mainah Holy crap that is awesome! My dad grew on a farm in OK, and would tell me of processing stories. Being a city kid, never got to experience any of that. And especially just how good it all tastes.

I finally took a few minutes last night to take my first look at the allies moves. Lot’s to consider! I’m going to have some time without family tonight so hope to finish up my thoughts and make some moves. Again, thanks for your patience. Really appreciate it.

@mainah really appreciate this note. My recovery has been much slower than I anticipated. Just this week started going back to the office! Still can’t work a full day, but getting better. Hope all the fall chores are finishing up before the snows hit.

@mainah Hey there! Again, very sorry for my incredible tardiness on this move. I’m finally getting back to normal again. Starting working and getting to the office and desperately trying to catch up. I’m hopeful to be able to make a move here shortly… now that I’m not on heavy pain killers it might actually be a move that makes sense!

@mainah quick update. I had outpatient surgery 16 days ago. Just now starting to get off the pain meds and working a bit and catching up. Sorry for the delay.

@mainah Haven’t heard them called the Germanites … like it. And yeah, now the Axis has to defend on the land and the allies have the mobility in their favor. Still, with Gib a fortress, not an easy task for the Allies to crack it open.

@mainah I thought the same for Japan. Take your time. This game is absolutely awesome and intense! Russia wasn’t as easy as I thought it should be either once I dived in. Simple love at the end, it took some careful thought on the build to thwart all that mobile out there.

Loving this game. Good stuff!

@mainah I’m home and was able to finally make a move. Russia is in a tough spot, but fighting on!

@mainah well, didn’t get to my move before leaving town. Very sorry. I’ll be out for a week so will focus on my return next Sunday. Again, sorry for the delay.

@mainah Thanks. As usual, life has gotten in the way this week. Friend blows into town, UT football game, shenanigans, daughter home from college, Halloween, and then wife’s birthday. Oh… and this work thing gets in the way too. Haven’t forgotten!

Thanks for your patience.

@mainah Ha! For sure. I have a very good friend that loves to play A&A and is a recently retired lawyer. He’s a huge nerd! He’ll be the first to admit it though.

@mainah Go get 'em Matt Murdock! jeez… “nerd alert!”

@mainah I’m cool with whatever. If we want to make our own little house rule, fine by me.

@mainah Gotcha. Well, that’s settled. Looks like I need to add another French inf to syria and to French West Africa. I’ll do that before my move.

@mainah I updated my TripleA to the latest BETA version so that we are matching. Not sure if your email is correct though. Also have you heard if the Play by Forum is now working on the new BETA version? Curious.

Combat Hit Differential Summary :

@mainah Then let’s say you can take it with an AA (per my sad French tale below) and move along. I’ll finish up my turn shortly so you can go do some German mischief.

@mainah Thanks for taking a look. Considering the standard rules of taking friendly neutrals, I would think that an AA does not qualify, but… I’m not entirely certain it matters all that much for this one. Helps Italy out a bit (and damn aren’t they the powerhouse in this variant!).

@mainah And, I’m totally fine with moving forward as it is and if we find out we made a mistake, we can change that up in the next game. Just let me know if you find anything out and I can make a move… don’t see any real battles for ANZAC anyway. So can always EDIT if necessary.

@mainah ahahahaha. Being Italian myself… I respect that! And in that vein: “In typical French fashion, once the Italian truck drove into Vichy territory with 3 guys and a very angry looking dog, the French immediately laid down their arms, scuttled their ships, and went to the Cotes de Rhone region to drink away their sorrows!”

@mainah just noticed you posted. It looks like you might have forgotten to make a non-com for your eastern front Italian units . Just want to make sure you intended not to move them before I make my move.

Also, I’m not sure you can take Southern France with the AA Gun. I would think you have to have a unit with an attacking power do so just like in regular rules. Unfortunately, TripleA does not distinguish the AA from another unit and therefore has the below blurb in the notes that we must manually manage. Of course, these vichy rules are different, so not entirely certain here. Thoughts?
