If you allow, I would like to use the latest map where I have moved two air from Persia to Eastern Persia.
Dice was rolled after my placement so it is OK if you want to stick to the first map.

[gamerman01]

No, no, thanks for asking but the edit is perfectly fine

Hot game!!  As it should be

[gamerman01]

I’m about to pull the trigger on Italy, hoping you might be able to move before bed tonight

@Gamerman01:

Battle score of 10, 3 units destroyed total.  Real big, Bold

strategic considerations

[gamerman01]

But then he only moved 1 sub to 97.  Which proceeded to rip me for 5…. imagine if he sent 3

[Ghostglider]

I look forward to see which surprises you have ready for me  :-o

[Ghostglider]

Maybe next time I can send more than 1 subs to z97… I think if I had send more now I would have lost my fleet

Hehe, these back to back posts - On their own kinda funny!  :wink:

[gamerman01]

If those AA cannons are working like they have been the whole game, this is a very bad idea

[boldfresh]

@Gamerman01:

I hated the convoy dice rule before this game

yeah, they nailed ghost pretty good as well right?

[boldfresh]

AA can’t keep hitting at 50% can it?  OF COURSE IT CAN!!!  :evil:

A sub getting 4 in 109 is my highlight.  Turn before it was 1.  Don’t get me started, even though that’s pretty much what you’re trying to do
