Scramble from Italy tes?

[Private-Panic]

Also planning the following edits at the end of the UK turn:

• will amend UK Pac purchases to 1 inf & 1 tank - although that is without checking what I have actually done, so might change my mind!

• and need to move the US bomber in Moscow

Is that okay?

[teslas]

No scrambles for Italy, sir. I hope I at least sink your destroyer.

You may change the UK purchases if you like this time. Just don’t make a habit of changing purchases after you see the combats all set up (and some potentially resolved). That’s part of the challenge of the game :p

You may non-com the bomber wherever, yeah, no problem.

Sorry - you did not get the destroyer!

[teslas]

Super, super hectic week this week (first week of a new job and I’m buying a house), so my apologies for being slow. I’ve got you and another guy waiting on my turns, and I’ll try my damnedest to get to them this weekend.

[Private-Panic]

Are you suggesting that new job and house are somehow more important than A&A? :-o

Shame on you tes! :wink:

Politics - French
            Trigger French Friendly With Mongolians activates a trigger called: Trigger Allies Friendly With Mongolians

Combat Move - French
            2 infantry moved from Algeria to Tunisia
            1 infantry moved from Anglo Egyptian Sudan to Egypt

[teslas]

Yeah, the ANZAC non-com is kosher.

I would have left Tunisia for the US, by the way. The french can’t make any use of it or the money, America can, and both take it away from Italy. The only reason to take it with the french units is to get them to Egypt as soon as possible, which I don’t think you need to worry about much in this game since Italy has no transports.

[teslas]

Oh man, those German subs convoyed the shit out of Britain, excellent.

I likely don’t have time to post tonight, sir, and I owe the other gentleman I’m playing against a turn before I give you one at this point, but I’ll come back as soon as soon as work and sleep aren’t overriding concerns!

[Private-Panic]

I had in my head that as a starting French territory they’d get it either way - but of course they have lost their capital. Silly Billy!

[teslas]

Change it if you like and repost the french turn.

[Private-Panic]

Nah! Don’t worry! If I had spotted it before finishing my turn I would, but I didn’t. :roll:

Germany’s turn.

[teslas]

I really don’t mind if you change it. It’s a simple move.

In fact, I prefer that you would change it, if you yourself also think it’s a good move, because it’s best to play against the best possible player. Even if I lose because I pointed out some good moves to my opponent he might not otherwise have seen in time, the point is to lose against good strategies so I learn something, not exploit petty forgetfulness (of which I’m also guilty of on occasion)!

[Private-Panic]

Okay then tes. But won’t be able to do anything until Monday - away for the w/e - so feel free to make an edit and do your go.

[Private-Panic]

Duh! It as a US tank that blitzed Tunisia via an edit, so it should never have been French! :roll:

Edited to now be US, plus added that 1 ipc to them too.
