[Shin-Ji]

Slight problem - I forgot that taking NSW took half of UK Pacific’s IPCs on hand - 16 in this case.

So I can add that to Japan no problem, but how would you like to modify your UK Pacific buy?

Sorry for forgetting!

[Soulblighter]

That gives me problems with my current troop displacement :/. Replace all units build with 5 infantry.

[Shin-Ji]

Delete 1 Art, 2 Tac, and give you 1 more PU in the bank.  Got it.

[Soulblighter]

But it also kinda ruins my Pacific/Chinese/US turn.

[Shin-Ji]

I’m sorry.  Want to rewind to that point then?

[Soulblighter]

@Shin:

I’m sorry.  Want to rewind to that point then?

Best to continue. You had some set backs as well anyways. And we are just testing. Tho I am becoming more positive about one aspect of the current setup being wrong. But we can discuss that point after we are done with this game.

[Shin-Ji]

I think the Japanese VCs need a serious rethink - was that what you had in mind?

[Soulblighter]

@Shin:

I think the Japanese VCs need a serious rethink - was that what you had in mind?

I was thinking about those. Al tho I haven’t played in a while and forgot about the VC change till UK pacific this turn and that probably hasn’t helped much either. Still Japan can easily capture 7 VC´s by turn 3, which seems wrong. It takes any Axis power a lot longer then that to capture that many VC´s. Then again Pacific works slightly different.

[Soulblighter]

In my opinion. Gamerman needs to ask Wheatbeer about the suggested VC change in pacific. He might be able to give a proper alternative. He is a really skilled axis player after all.
