And that’s all she wrote.

I concede. That was the sole shot. I think we can both agree its a slow, long, sure slog for you, but its you from here. I wonder what would have happened if I had waited 1 more turn, like I had planned on last weekend. In my head, you went north to hold SZ 6 and take korea, and I moved as a single fleet into position. . . .

I have got to improve my Germany, and especially my Italy play. I feel like my Japan is pretty good. Needs some tightening, but is way better than my European game. My few wins have been either a pacific win, or japan helps hit russia and takes Cairo. J bailing out G all the time is not going to advance me in the league.

Thank you. Great Game. Your execution of KGF was fantastic. Would probably have a firm hold on Normandy and Norway right now if it weren’t for those darn sharp edged cans.

Sorry. Spoke to soon.

re: #2

So I fully understand, could you clarify / confirm?

Western US is a separate square from sea zone 42. In this case it is 2 moves to get from the land to Midway, in zone 43 no 3 moves. WUS to sz 42, 42 to 43, 43 to midway.

If that is true, how does it work when attacking a zone like square 45 with Japan surrounded by sea? Using Midway as a staging point, is it 3 moves to get to the Japanese mainland (43->44, 44->45, 45->Japan)?

Yes

If this is true, can planes overfly an occupied sea zone (e.g., 45) to stage an attack on Japan?

Yes.

@dawgoneit
Have you tried deleting the 2.6 that you have and re downloading?

I had an issue, not matching up to yours, a different one, the first time I downloaded it to my laptop. I was using a hotspot off my mobile as I didn’t have Wi-Fi at the time, and I think the band width was just poor enough to screw something up at download. When I deleted and redownload when I had a better Internet connection, no problems.

Edits - Forgot about the sub in NCM, and I thought I had clicked the Fig when I NCM the bomber - that one’s self-evident

@WindowWasher
Sorry - I’m appologizing to 3 other players right now too. Work got crazy - someone upstairs decided we all have to work insane hours due to improper planning by management. Will do my best, but the next 2 weeks are looking like not much. Should be good after that.

So work settles down, and I really take a look at my 4 games that I tried to sort of play - and I am doing way worse than I thought! I am sorry that the game wasn’t as good as the last one. I’ll be more attentive the next time we play.

I see your point. Hadn’t thought that far- actually, probably wouldn’t have, just not how i think about things - just was thinking of the fundraising possibility. Saw the word “bracket” and march madness immediately came to mind.
Money really does ruin things. :disappointed:
