@gamerman01:

Note for future turns the proper procedure for conducting the US/China moves.

#1) Purchase units (USA and China together)
#2) Combat move (China or USA - player choice each round)
#3) Combat resolution
#4) Combat move (China or USA - whichever wasn’t moved first)
#5) Combat resolution
#6) Noncombat move (China and USA concurrently) Neither USA nor Chinese air may land on any Chinese territory that was hostile at the beginning of the turn.
#7) Place units (USA and China together)
#8) Collect USA income

Most times it doesn’t matter if you do all of China’s stuff and then all of USA’s.  But you could be giving yourself an unfair advantage in some situations if you don’t follow the rules.
Follow the rules.

I think I followed these instructions to the “T”. Let me know if I goofed somewhere.

[gamerman01]

No, that’s perfect.  Note that you do not have to list Chinese and US NCMs separately if you don’t want.

[gamerman01]

I’ll get to it!  But I’d better take a break - my dice this morning have been craptabulous!  Losing 90%ers left and right.

Combat moves -
Bul - ARM (Ger)
Pol - 2 INF (Ger) 3 FTR (Fra)
EPl - ART, ARM (BSt) BMB (Ger)

Man, things are tight.  Definitely feeling the 12 bid all placed in the Russians’ western front, and the disastrous Z2 result…  Oh, and how could I forget - the pounding US SBR.  A lot of thought went into this move.  Hopefully being after 1:00 AM won’t affect the quality…

Whew - held off the hordes for one moment anyway…  Until the UK flies in.

Makes me feel good after all the thought I put into that turn that it wasn’t all dashed by a little luck on your part.  Hehe I guess you could have charged Bulgaria at the same time, IIRC, but you held off on that one.

Maybe later tonight I can go, I don’t know.

I’m really enjoying this game, JWW.  A lot of thinking involved.  Looks like I’ve found some competition.
