@wizmark I posted a request for comment on the Russia DOW first situation, in the league general discussion thread. I also sent a post to gamerman01, requesting a moderator opinion.

@FMErwinRommel said in Wizmark (X) vs FMEd (L) BM3 G2:

Edited to declare war on Japan, which I failed to do at beginning of Russia’s turn, and to NCM AA gun > China.

Here’s your problem. You need to set it to “Unprovoked”.

[FMErwinRommel]

@simon33 Thanks, I edited political relationships to unprovoked and it removed the N.O. for Russia. But does that mean that now Russia will never get the N.O. from Japan for the rest of the game, even if Japan attacks Russia?

[FMErwinRommel]

Poor turn for allies, who rolled 1 for 8 against Japan. S. African transport, which normally would have gone to Mideast, somehow overlooked Japan ability to hit it with multiple units off of W. India. ANZ took Borneo expecting to make up for loss of its transport, by sinking the Japanese counterattack transport. But can’t reach it or the transports that invaded Russia.

[wizmark]

@FMErwinRommel Amusingly though, the one hit you had was on the sub which could have caused havok for you in the indian ocean at the strategic level…all other combats were less important if a hit had been made…:face_with_rolling_eyes:

[wizmark]

@FMErwinRommel J1 is hard for the allies in the pacific for the first few turns…until the US war machine gets going!

Yes. Those are the rules.

[FMErwinRommel]

@wizmark I positioned the French DD so it could attack the Japanese sub if it went into the western half of the Indian Ocean.

Not much fighting. China considered gambling an attack on Szech, but chose to retreat and sacrifice the fighter. UKPac attacked Burma with 1 more unit than Japan had, to ensure taking it: even though defender had only 1/9 chance of both hitting on round 1, which of course they did. Those Japanese bombers in Sum, even without an airbase, can east coast of Africa. Thus pinning my fleet down until I take Ital Somali.

Have a request, U.S. failed to move bomber in NZ > Queensland NCM. Would you allow me to edit that move. I know that you have since taken your turn, but the bomber move would not have affected Italy’s turn, or been affected by Italy’s turn.
