@bolasgod please proceed.

@flyingbadger No, it is totally ok with me if you roll it here on the forum.
I saw your planes and wondered.

I’ve updated two of the PDF reference files:

• Summary (National Objectives) File: updated for a couple of minor typos
• Unit Placement File: updated for minor changes to opening setup

Here’s a link to a video explaining the opening setup changes:

TripleA file is not yet updated for the opening setup changes, but hope to do that soon.

@fmerwinrommel I needed to clear out his ground units, he could have hit my factory with those and his airforce. By clearing them, I could leave the factory unguarded and use the troops and planes on another landing. I was winning the game and was comfortable taking the risk.

@flyingbadger No thank you.

@surfer said in WindowWasher (X) vs Surfer (L+18) BM #4:

BTW, what’s up with the 1 mech attack on Kazakhstan? Are you that far ahead that you just suicide troops?! I’ll let you! I could use the help.

my logic was, if i could get a hit and lower your odds on stalingrad, or moscow the next turn, it would be worth the shot. japan isnt as far ahead as germany so it was worth the shot to me
