So if the match ends before the 2013 season ends, are we reporting it then? Or are we going to wait until the 2014 season to report the result if that happens?

Either is fine by me.

@wheatbeer:

Yes. If we finish before nov 1 it’s 2013, if not, it’s 2014.

[arathorn]

Japan will come a little bit later.
Out running an errand.

[wheatbeer]

Thanks, just wanted to make sure there wouldn’t be any dispute later since I’d rather have a loss in 2013 and rather have a win in 2014, as would many players I imagine  :lol:

No rush … this open is pretty neat for a Barbarossa-centric open. I hate the G1 attack style Barbarossa, but I like this.

[arathorn]

Did you like it from the pow of Germany or Russia?
;)

[wheatbeer]

From the POV of Germany. Sending mobile east rather than to Paris as is conventional should make a big difference.

Even though the UK retains more strength and has some flexibility in the opening Buy, they have no choice but to be the hero in Europe and fast.

[seth4god]

He used the same German opening in both our games. Let’s see how we both respond and where he goes from here.

[wheatbeer]

Heheh, well hopefully one of us wins, or at least loses in an educational way  :lol:

[seth4god]

Well, in that case. I hope I’m the one that wins and you’re the one that loses in an educational way.  :-P

I’m going to use my LL reroll in 97.

A:

Sub
Rolls: 1@2; Total Hits: 01@2: (5)surprise attack
The rest = 2 hits if sub misses - but if sub hits, one of your units will die.

That determines if you roll @3 or @4 in defense.
