J4 final answer.tsvg

@VictoryFirst actually, can you put the fighters on wake? thanks!

@VictoryFirst right. i would not have executed those attacks in that way. i assumed i had the order wrong and that TripleA was right. bleh.

Let’s continue.

j4 (45).tsvg

@VictoryFirst i just rechecked the rule to support the order of operations in TripleA and…

…you’re right. The order of operations is wrong in TripleA and I guess I forgot that TripleA has an error? It says attacker can retreat before subs withdraw. My opponent and I in our current league game have both used the attacker retreat before the sub withdrawal and I just carried it over into this game.

The rulebook clearly states sub withdrawal occurs before attacker retreat though (page 19).

Where do you want to move your subs? I may change NCM moves based on where your subs are now.

@Darkpriorace I should have said “I put the three hits on the UK infantry pieces, but wanted to check with you before resolving the other battles.”

@Darkpriorace

I put an amphibious attack on India and scored three hits with the UK. How did you want them?

I still have to resolve Sinkiang and Evenki. Purchases were 1 bomber and 14 infantry. Here is the game file for reference: J13 casualty question.tsvg

@VictoryFirst I should have restated slightly.

No, this is not the worst opener I’ve had. Ragnell and I played many games where stuff like this happened as a matter of course. I’ve gotten very, very used to playing this game from the submissive position right at the start like this.

That being said, from late 2024 through 2025 and even today this seems to be a normally recurring phenomenon. I even reached out to you about it once. I’m not superstitious, but even Ragnell has asked/recommended I change my email in hopes that our games will be more interesting. There are very rare exceptions to my/our/this experience: the gamerman game is an example.

In any case, I’m going to change emails even though I don’t think it will fix anything. It can’t hurt.

@VictoryFirst no, but for the last year, this has been a fairly consistent phenomenon for me.

I’m going to stop using this email address and start to use a different one going forward. I don’t know what else to do. This is happening, far, far more than it should be.

@VictoryFirst I’ll gamble, take the BB as a casualty please.

@VictoryFirst it must be the submarine. if i lose the transport, the submarine is automatically destroyed unless you retreat

@VictoryFirst nah, I appreciate that but let’s carry on.
