@JDOW:

Sounds like you used up all your luck in Soviet Far east

I did!

[gamerman01]

Bomber on Ceylon is probably dead anyway, no?
And of course since you don’t mention my subs that means they repeatedly missed  :-)

But yeah, I am very surprised that 3 bombers are down with loss of 2 destroyers

Still playing?

[JDOW]

You subs didn’t miss. You killed my DD in sz109.

however I just realized I overlooked your can opener potential in Japan
Hawai for the grabs!

[JDOW]

How annoying that I fall victim to a JP VC victory, too now:(

Seems to be your destiny, to crush with the Germans and make VC victory Hawaii:)

[JDOW]

Well, Kiangsu is missing, but taking Hawaii is a big deal.

[JDOW]

No, its not, you have TT in place of course, so it seems to be done.

[JDOW]

So I have to beg on your leniency to allow to put another DD to sz26 to sz25 and to put the FTR from WUS to Midway. And I could understand if you deny to stop me from stretching that game;)

[gamerman01]

I did not see that you posted UK, so didn’t know about the 109 result

I will once again allow a late USA noncom move assuming it was unrelated to China and UK
It doesn’t bother me that you thought of it after USA’s turn, if it didn’t affect any subsequent decisions

[JDOW]

Thanks a lot! You are of course right. That any such decisions could not have been influenced by any Chinese or UK dice.
Here is the edited file.

Wrong link. This is the right one:

To cheer the troops of JDOW up. :lol:

[JDOW]

So according to the title of the track (without checking the lyrics) this sounds ironic?  :lol:

[JDOW]

Are the Italians ready? :-)

[gamerman01]

Maybe tonight, I don’t know

[gamerman01]

Appears you shorted yourself an infantry when editing USA from 92 to 91
I’m adding an infantry to Z91, since you had been leaving one on the transport and presumably that’s why you added 1 infantry to Gibraltar (because you were leaving one at sea)

@JDOW:

Are the Italians ready? :-)

Apparently they were!  What a great dice turn for Italy.  All the way through the convoy roll
I guess it was perfect except I lost a fighter, but of course clearing that destroyer was major.  I assume you didn’t realize I could attack it.

Ready to resign now?  :-)
