Your D has been pretty good so far

Oh, but it’s just ANZAC now - I can take care of that quick

[gamerman01]

Never mind.  I just reviewed your I2 and it is majorly illegal  :-)

You can NOT send a mech through Tunisia to Algeria.  Tunisia is a friendly neutral, and you cannot drive through them in noncom.  To get your NO, you will HAVE to leave a transport in Z92 to take Algeria.  I’ll give you time to decide what you want to do and fix it

And yes, luck has been good for me EXCEPT nearly all Chinese vs. Japanese interactions have been very good for you and bad for me

I am a bit embarrassed that I didn’t know this was illegal. I don’t recall anyone trying this on me but I have done it a few times w/out objection. I guess I will learn a lot this game! LOL Let me review my ITA turn

OK, I made a bunch of changes……ITA purchase and NCM’s, nothing that impacted the IPC’s ITA received. I don’t believe any dice were thrown by ITA this turn so it was all basically NCM’s. probably a bad mistake, giving the allies a future airbase in GIB, but this is what I do make mistakes and obviously, misunderstand the rules. What we aren’t even through T2 and I have discovered two rules I had wrong. gonna be a long game…

[gamerman01]

TRY AGAIN!!  :cry:  :lol:  :lol:

You only had 14 IPC’s, you bought an artillery and a fighter - you can’t afford an airbase!!!

OMG, WTF…sorry brother, don’t know what is wrong with me…plain embarrassed. I’ll straighten this out shortly and pay better attention going forward.

[gamerman01]

You don’t have to apologize - the laughs are more than worth it!!!

Don’t make me give you the ktylu treatment!!  :lol:  :wink:

simplest solution….I believe dropping an AA in Alg will turn everything brown?

[gamerman01]

Wrong.  You can’t activate a friendly neutral with an AAA - never have been able to

[gamerman01]

Are you sure you don’t want to just give up on that NO?  I mean, it’s costing you fleet position in 91 with both transports and everything.  And you expressed concern about defending Gibraltar (I’m guessing that’s why you want to put AAA in Algeria)

Sounds like you could live with 6 less IPC’s on hand more than the pain of transporting a guy to Algeria?  Just trying to help!  :lol:

@Gamerman01:

No way, really or are you just winding me up now?

[gamerman01]

Nope, that is dead serious
