  • @wittmann:

    I just saw that I failed to post China. Sorry! Thought I had.

    That is no problem at all


  • Can look at 111 now


  • 2 fighters against a loaded carrier where the fighters need the carrier - with one hit I would definitely lose the tac


  • I’m not even sure from looking at the dice e-mails if I score 0 hits or 1
    I’m also not sure what you want to do, or I would roll the dice for you, yes

    Just go like this, where the semi-colons are colons instead

    ;aaa 2@3; ;aaa 1@2 1@3 1@4;

    Just an example.  The above rolls 2@3 for 2 fighters, and then separately a carrier, a tac, and a fighter.  If you use colons : : then it runs the dice roller


  • Thanks. I have been told before, but could never get it to work. I  said I was retarded!

    Off to school again, so will have a think.
    Good day.


  • Thanks again for showing me a very good time

    I hope your fighters crash and burn

    Have a great day  :-)

  • I had to retreat, so I edited off the Tac and repaired the Carrier and put  the Ft on it.

    When placing units, I  gave myself 3 IPCs back ( in error) having bought 6 units, because I thought  that I could only place 5. I forgot  I had two other ICs.
    I have corrected my mistake and dropped the 6th bought unit in Canada.
    Excuse my forgetfulness.


  • @wittmann:

    I had to retreat

    That’s what I want to see…

    So glad you finished your move already - I was starting to suffer withdrawal again

    I’m sure your purchase/placing thing is no problem - I’ll certainly have a look


  • Quote from: wittmann on Today at 07:44:53 am
    I had to retreat
    Was a very long shot. probably a silly Attack this time.

    So glad you finished your move already - I was starting to suffer withdrawal again

    Glad I coluld help.
    We are all the same: we need to look at maps and dream of faraway conquests!


  • You bought 4 infantry and 2 artillery and placed them legally - no problem
    Not sure what happened to the 4th infantry during place units phase - maybe Triple A allows you to not place them all
    Will you have an extra one waiting for you next turn?  We’ll have to watch out for that
    Anyway, I’m not too concerned, thanks for the full disclosure


  • Yes. I will have to place it, then edit it out.
    Probably put it in SA, so we know it is not meant to be there .

  • Well after saving all my pennies and dimes, I can afford a fighter next turn


  • You are really hard on the Italians, man.  And if I recall correctly, you have personal ties to the Italians and British, so this has been very interesting


  • It is the only way I play the Allies. Perhaps is wrong, as I can’t win with the Allies  any more (except T4 opposition).

    I was born in Florence , to an Italian father. Mum is English. Met him while travelling with other school teachers. They were married there in 68 and moved to England in 69. My brother was born near Heathrow. I have 3 uncles and 7 cousins in Florence ( and English cousins too).
    I support Italy for sport.


  • :-)

    No, it generally is a sound strategy to get on the Italians and stay on them
    I never rely on them getting big and normally concede Egypt and the middle east in the early going.  I am more concerned with not letting the Allies get a major beachhead on the European mainland and that works for me
