That have been big dice, I am very happy about it and I need them.

Sir, although I had good dice I need to beg for your merci.

I obviously forgot to move the sub from 124 to 125. I SWEAR the sub was supposed to go there. I mean, it makes zero sens to leave it there. it will just be killed by the Brits.
But I realize: You might not have attacked Archangel if the sub would have been there, is that correct?

So could we at least agree on the following: You can keep the money but I edit still edit the sub to 125?

Sorry for the hassle.

best,
Tobias

Well, 125 also makes no sense with the Russians taking Archangel and getting the money.

Would be be ok to move the sub to 126 instead?

Sorry again for asking, but it was certainly not intended to keep the sub in 124.

If this would affect your Russian NCM and would be a total hassle, I would of course accept to live with my blunder and leave it there. Just let me know.

best,
Tobias

I have to laugh at your desire to win, the recent request, all the edits, the dice talk etc…I laugh because I am typically the same! I understand where you are coming from. Next year I will be the same way and probably wouldn’t allow any changes after the fact, an error is an error, but I have “thrown in the town” this year. Next year I will take fewer games be more focused etc…so yes, do whatever you like, move the sub, give me more money… 8-)

Thanks, Ill move it to 126.

And take it as a compliment that I am eager about these details :-)

Rough game. Early dice matter most. Japan had to suffer horribly by dice and you put a lot of pressure on the Germans. Any unit matter at this stage of the game.

The thing is. Japan must push the Allies HARD for being neglected early by the Americans. If Japan is not fast enough, the US will catch up later, this the lack of planes slows Japan down which can become a huge problem in the end.

Now let me see whether I can punish that reckless fleet build by the Indians  :evil: :evil: :evil:

I expect no scramble at 39, in case you would like to do so, I will reroll the battle regardless of the outcome of the battle without a scramble.
