[Whackamatt]

I concede.  I’m a !@#$%ing idiot.

For future reference, you can Kami when there’s no actual combat, page 16

“If an Allied player attacks Japanese units in or declares an
amphibious assault from one of these sea zones, the Japanese
player can announce at the beginning of this phase that he or
she intends to launch one or more kamikaze strikes in that sea
zone. They are resolved before any combat begins.”

[Shin-Ji]

I was just looking that up myself!

Hey, it happens.  Honestly, it could easily have gone the other way.

Want a rematch?  This was a great game.

[Whackamatt]

Yeah, but it only seems to happen against you!  I did the same thing last season, or something similar like forgetting a blocker.  lol

I’ll either take a rematch or the Allies @ 17.  I’m focusing on a radical new strategy as the Allies that isn’t working out so well thus far.  :lol:

[Shin-Ji]

17 is a lot higher than I usually get.  I’ll happily give you the 10 that I got, though.

[Shin-Ji]

Also, I’ve lost several games that way.  Once I accidentally let people sail right into Berlin, and another time I straight up didn’t realize that they could just sail into India!

[Whackamatt]

Then I shall take the rematch at 10.  What would you like your bid to be?  Same same?

[Whackamatt]

OR we could rebid.  What’s your counter if 17 is too high?

[Shin-Ji]

It’s your 10, go nuts!  Do whatever you’d like with it - subject to the usual bidding rules of course.

[Shin-Ji]

Well, if you’d like to rebid, I’ll bid 14.

[Whackamatt]

I’ll do Allies +13

[Shin-Ji]

+12 is fine for me.

[Whackamatt]

I can go +11

[Shin-Ji]

I’m happy with the same bid as before - 10.

[Whackamatt]

You want the same placement then?

[Shin-Ji]

Sure!  1 Sub off Egypt and an Art in Alex.
