edited the US bomber to africa from new zealand.  thought i had done it on the map but all i did was undo it’s move to queensland.  i had another version of the map where i sent it to africa. a lot of players seem to think they can edit US noncombat moves willy nilly as much as they please, i am not one of those people, although i usually allow them to do it.

in this case, there were only 2 very minor combat moves and the movement of the bomber to africa was unrelated to either.  i will do my best to avoid any US noncoms after China and/or UK noncombat is complete…

I assume he is attacking your usa fleet, he has subs and now he has air in range with a place to land.

[Cow]

kind of gives germany a bit of incentive to buy naval.

I hate all these damn Italian can openers, lost my fleet in 91 in games 2 or 3 times now.

@Cow:

cow, as always i have no idea what you are talking about.  yeah he can get a few planes there, but it’s an attack i was prepared for, even inviting.  maybe i’m missing something and zhukov will teach me a new trick, so either way i win!  :lol:
