Could you please move the Russian subs to sz110 please?

thanks!

[wheatbeer]

Sure

[JDOW]

Thanks!

[wheatbeer]

Forget a non-dice CM to take Midway that I’d planned. It’s not super-essential, but if it doesn’t bother you, I’d like to add it. Let me know after you see the map.

Let me know if it’s okay if I take Midway.

Sorry about that.

Also, just to forewarn you, Japan will be very picky about OOL, so please do not make any assumptions if you conduct naval combat in the Pacific.

[JDOW]

Midway is ok. I’ll edit it for you.

[wheatbeer]

Thanks.

Funky scenario in the Pacific, but it seemed like the right thing to do.

[wheatbeer]

I’ll be traveling this week (23-27) for Christmas and may or may not be able to post.

I did all the edits.

Too bad, after the failed attack on Germany and the good result the Germans had at Moscow, I expected a German victory as I thought they could easily deal with both, the middle East and the Western front once no Russians to take care of.

I realized too late that Germany will have a very hard time to clean the west once WGR can be fortified as Allies can reinforce WGR with up to 15-20 units each turn (e.g. IC denmark etc)

However I took too much emphasis on making the German’s life hard and did not realized that the Japanese victory was that close.

Fun thing that in the end the failed Burma attack could have been the real losing battle instead of the attack on Berlin^^

[wheatbeer]

In hindsight, Germany had to sacrifice too much ground in order to win in the east.

I don’t like the Moscow rush strategy anyways, but I probably could have executed it better.
