For the record, is Russia holding back Germany pretty well, all on it's lonesome, even with Japan invading the back door?

[Botider]

you rolled eight 1's... ?? geez...

[Botider]

map?

[Cmdr Jennifer]

oh sure...you want the map!

[Botider]

oh sure...you want the map!

details, schmetails... i'm funny that way.
you know, with most people on here you can plot the move if they forget the map, but there are some folks who don't always define where attacking troops are coming from. i'm not naming names or anything,... i'm just sayin'. 

[Botider]

oooh,... i don't like that map. too many american ships. you got another one? 

[Cmdr Jennifer]

You are correct, one of the destroyers that was on the American stack shouldnt have been, it should have been blocking the Japanese from SZ 6.  ^_^

[Botider]

A US5 NCM after Russia6?? Hmmmmm....
Was it in your original NCMs (I haven't looked)?

[Cmdr Jennifer]

I believe so, since the idea was to isolate the Japanese navy and thus, Japan would take 4 convoy damage no matter what happened this round.  (You could move the ships into SZ 6 during NCM, but could not kill the submarines because it is non-combat, not combat.)

I dunno, I don't generally look at the Pacific when I do Russia.  I look at N. Africa, Europe, Russia (of course) and China.

[Botider]

It's not a problem... I was just hasslin' ya... 

[Botider]

and here i thought aa50 was complicated with sea zones... whew! that pacific mosaic will take a while to figure out. and when u.s. starts pouring money into the ocean, it gets deep in a hurry. hard to believe i'd ever feel sorry for japan, but in this case, the onslaught in unrelenting. tojo sends frantic message to the reich office in berlin: "hurry up, will ya?"

this is the best i can do... and i have no idea what i'm trying to do except stay alive...
