Hey Sir,

I just felt better to undo my edit and put a US DD in sz25.
I guess it is very obvious that this could not have been influenced by any dice as only Shan state was rolled after the US turn.
However technically you of course have to allow that edit and can undo it if you want.

Sorry and cheers,
Tobias

[wheatbeer]

Is this last map how you want it? I am fine with any NCM edits.

[JDOW]

Yeah, thanks a lot.

Actually the TT and the units should then rather be in Hawaii instead of Johnston but I guess this will not make any difference.
So just take the last map I posted and thanks a lot again.

[JDOW]

However I have to admit I’d love to keep it logical. and tbh the TT just slipped through with the NCM edit.

So this one is the logical map and I would love if you’d take this one.

Thanks again!

@wheatbeer:

I will be out of town this Friday through Sunday and I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to post during that time.

Alright, np. I wish you a great time!

[wheatbeer]

You might not agree with me here … but I think I really flubbed this one. Japan is simply too weak to get close to victory before the US applies too much pressure to Germany. The Axis surrender.

Any chance you’re up for a rematch? I’ll try and make it more challenging.

[JDOW]

I have to admit that I find myself in a very strong position. Strong Russia, Germans that will get in trouble managing both, Western Pressure and handling Russians and Japan who lost control over China. So I can understand you do not find your position easy to play and I accept your surrender promising that any prisoner will be treated according to the Genevan convention  :-D

Well, I have no other waiting list and only one other game going on, so we could start a rematch immediately.

I assume you want to Axis and expect me to reduce the bid? Or do you want to start bidding from scratch?

Cheers!

[wheatbeer]

@JDOW:

I assume you want to Axis and expect me to reduce the bid? Or do you want to start bidding from scratch?

If you’re confident playing the Allies at less than 15 and want to throw out an offer, I’d probably say yes.

I would also be willing to strait up rebid.

[JDOW]

I have some interest to play the Axis, too, but I could understand if you’d like to have a rematch with the same sides.
So I’d take the Allies for +13 if this is ok for you.

Cheers,
Tobias

[wheatbeer]

Okay, I’ll give you +13. How would you like to place it?

[JDOW]

Alright, I’ll take Mech Egypt, Inf Alex and Sub 98 please.
