Finally a dice cooler for Japan. I guess it was time.

[gamerman01]

Definitely time
Now you’ve got my hopes up - was it a shade below average?  :-) Let’s see…

[gamerman01]

Yeah, you owe me a lot more than that
46 and Celebes went perfect and Brits only hit 1/4 after you destroyed them in a single round
It just shows how hot your dice have been that this is considered cooler  :-)

[JDOW]

I always react shocked when AA hits 2/3.
Plus the Kansu guy surviving was quite bad.

So happy resurrection of the Chinese. May their comeback last very short:D

[gamerman01]

Should have took in more!  :wink:

Site was down when I was trying to post USA
Rolling dice for UK now

Late edit of USA fighter from 110 to London - I gained nothing from leaving it out on the carrier, didn’t think it through during USA noncom I guess

That’s 4 turns with slightly above average luck, but those round 8 hits still hurt

[JDOW]

No problem about the edit and fair enough with the dice.

Sorry for the delay, I have been out of town recently and busy evenings. I guess I can move tomorrow.

[gamerman01]

OK, thanks
ANZAC has been ready to go since the UK turn posted - all their units are pretty much spoken for so it will be real quick and easy and you can follow with Germany

Ii am afraid I need to request a timeout till Tuesday. I am out of town Friday - Sunday.

The position is super competitive and I had a look yesterday but couldn’t finish because I came to the conclusion I would need to try to simulate how the map could look like after J10 to decicde whether to take a shot at the 30% can opener with the German bomber or not.

Unfortunately the next evening with enough time will be Tuesday. Tonight I have just a small slot I will use to give RegularKid the chance to make his US/Chi/UK move over the weekend and move the way easier J6. I won’t be able to do the necessary simulations to J10 in our game tonight.

Sorry for the delay. You postponed your nerqueen game and now I am delaying the game.
However the tension is high. Any glitch could be decisive.
I am confident I can speed up next week again.

Cheers,
Tobias
