I do not mind waiting and I do not like to assume things for my Opponent. You may have been willing to sacrifice the fighter to remove the bombardment. Not likely I agree however still a possibility.

[ksmckay]

Yeah, im not saying anything against your policy in general, but I wont ever scramble into something like this. So in this game I am confident you can make reasonable assumptions and be right 99.9% of the time, but of course you are welcome to do whatever.

ok good to go. I swear I calc’d out the far east twice and decided it was ok but it definitely wasnt.

[ksmckay]

To avoid issues, it would be great if both of us could try to remember to post whats on what when leaving land units on transports. More of an issue for US/UK but tripleA tends to screw things up all the time, even when you take the time to give it the correct input. For example, 3 inf in the same sea zone as 3 transports. are they on two transports or three? In this case I am pretty certain its 3 inf on 3 but its really tricky to tell.

As I said its more important with allies and mixed usage but tripleA seems to get things screwed up all the time and sometimes it is impossible to tell from history.

Ill let you know when carriers have mixed air whenever its not obvious.

[AndrewAAGamer]

Not sure how it happened however I received two rolls for Russia. First one roll for Baltic States, both sides, then again about 8 minutes later the exact same battle. Luckily they were both the exact same result so it is not an issue. Though it is a good opportunity to confirm that all rolls stand. If for some reason a player thinks they are on local and make a roll and it turns out that they were actually on PBEM that roll always stands.

havent done that in a long time. but yep. first roll counts.

[ksmckay]

on the same subject, what happens if for example - I decided right now to do a test turn for US/UK and so used the russia file to skip over japan and execute the europe side of the board. And I accidentally left it in pbem mode so some dice were rolled. I would say its not a problem and the dice dont count because it was clearly unintentional since it wasnt even US/UK turn. Would you agree?

Just trying to avoid issues, particularly since you like things B/W.

Absolutely it would NOT count. Dice only count on your Turn. Glad to confirm though as it is always easier to discuss up front than after it happens.
