Thanks for clarification. I attached a screenshot of the rulebook I was referring to

Rulebook
–- Pacific 1940 —
Second
Edition

Of course bit weird there are different rulebooks out there. Which one are you referring to? Is there a link? I can not upload mine because it is 87 MB

[gamerman01]

I already provided the link - it’s at the beginning of my previous post!

[JDOW]

Sorry, I should have seen that :-/

[JDOW]

It seems to me you referred to the first edition rule book. I guess the second edition is the latest version and state of the art?

Here is the link of the version I am using:
http://www.wizards.com/avalonhill/rules/A&A_Pacific_1940_2ndEd_Rulebook_LR.pdf

[gamerman01]

I must have bookmarked the original rulebook when I thought it was 2nd edition

Got the right one now I guess - thanks

Super complicated move, all of US/CHI/UK are connected somehow. I didn’t see a future to take Norway and hold it for one lousy round, even if this could have killed the Bomber in Finland.
I am still nervous because I don’t understand why you deployed it there. The only advantage in that position I see is that you could bring it faster to Japan to have a new can opener.

This is the first time I am actually superstitious and despite the fact that the impact is far from being decisive I kind of feel coursed of never getting my US NorthEast clean and I already predict 2 hits on Aleutian Island from the pesky Japanese Inf there :-/

Kind of funny, but I consider it sports to delay the collapse of the fragile defense of Moscow, Middle East and China as long as possible:D

Annoying IT sub and I would have loved no hit in Iceland. Now 1 TT with 2 units is invited to reclaim again. With 2 defenders it is more annoying to go with 1 TT :-/

But all those details after the recent big battles, I should get more relaxed about such stuff.

[gamerman01]

Yes you should, but hard to do when you’re playing a challenging game

Your USA dice were very good, after all

[gamerman01]

You were down to arty vs. infantry after round 1 in Iceland
Be happy you won

Assuming you allow late walkin to Tambov, as the only combat was vs. 1 sub in Z93 - thanks

[JDOW]

Yes, np!

[JDOW]

Oops, I also forgot a move. Forgot to move the US sub to sz37. I can just promise to you it was my intention before ANY dice was rolled, I simply forgot it as the move was so complicated. please let me know if you allow.

[JDOW]

Oh dear, I just realize that this could have influenced your IT naval placement in India. So my stupid mistake to miss that convoy shot, just bad! :/
