reposted with a slight edit. AA stays in W Germany

As a courtesy - I am unlikely to play tonight - had a big day. Great to see your post, sorry about the sub, but not really after my precious fighter inexplicably went down over the Caucasus.

You did kill the sub, after all!!

[gamerman01]

Well, we don’t want all the dice to go the way expected! Fun game, we have our hands at each other’s throats in different areas, that’s the way it’s supposed to be!

[gamerman01]

What was I thinking? It’s just FRANZAC and I had their moves planned out earlier -

coming up

Please do not feel urgency.

It took 8 months to complete the first 2 rounds of the playoff.
We just finished 6 rounds in 3 weeks, which is quite fast.

[farmboy]

@gamerman01 I figured you would be relaxed about time, but apologies for the delay. It might be a few more days as we are dealing with family health issues (and unfortunately it looks like Covid again). Once we get through this, I should be back to near daily posting.

[gamerman01]

Another get well soon (like I said in private)!

At the last minute, I decided I would go with only 2 inf in Smolensk instead of 3. That was a mistake. :)

[gamerman01]

I assumed those British units would be obliterated - very pleasantly surprised to see hits everywhere

I’ll assume no scramble in 33. I thought there was a slight chance you might go for it just to trade 3 US figs for 2 Japanese ones but as there are no otehr dice rolls in 33 I figure this is an easy one to do after.

[gamerman01]

I do want to scramble to 33
You’d better hope you don’t lose and the transport escapes! :astonished:
