I saw your PM as well - I would have probably left your destroyer alone. I have no problem with it being placed in TJ, and since your destroyer ended up hitting and clearing the SZ for your boats in the Suez, it seems like a fair trade.

I hear you - let me take a look, and I appreciate the reminder. I was planning on bringing some German aircraft down to make sure I was defendable from any attack, so the answer is probably no.

But I’ll take a look and confirm.

I’m juggling this plus the Bruins game plus a daughter playing about six different games with me, so I’ll do my best  :-D

No, I’m fine - my turn stands as is, and I appreciate your sportsmanship!

I strongly subscribe to one of Musashi’s principles in The Book of Five Rings - the resolute acceptance of death. I’ve already accepted defeat, and death, before I begin any venture… and I’ve also accepted victory, should the gods will it  :wink:

Totally understand the juggling.  I think either of us would be a lot more scary players if our attention wasnt so divided.

I am not saying I have you dead anywhere or that there is anything I would change if I were in your spot… I just know there is a lot of danger in the area and I just wanted to double notify you of the mixed air and accs.

Cheers

Regarding time to play - yes! I wish I had the experience of some of the people here, and I wouldn’t mind being 22 again and this was a big chunk of all I had to worry about. I don’t ever have the time to look at different scenarios to see the long term ramifications of my moves. Man, I wish I could… it’s always just download a map, do the best I can in the time I have, and send it away. I find that I generally make a couple mistakes per game more than my opponents - which is partly my fault and partly a time issue. At this level, a couple mistakes is the difference between winning and losing. Example - my current game I’m losing against Allweneedislove - I had three separate times I misjudged the range of his bombers, and every single time I paid for it. Considering the fact that I’m at 7 VCs on the Europe map, those three mistakes were a huge factor in not having a chance to win. Ugh. No excuses - mistakes are part of the game. But I agree that you and I could be closer to the top of the heap if resources (mostly time) were not a factor.
