@robson that sounds interesting. Why don’t you try your hand at Axis this time. Can you start the game and a thread for us?

@Robson Sure is strange to start off with UKP! Please take a look at the game. Not sure if something is wrong or the rules have been modified. Looks like UKP did not get the two Dutch territory PUs but did get the +5 for having a dutch territory (but not at war with Japan…). I think something is a little off. Take a look and we can make a decision on what to do.

@robson Looking forward to this variant!

@Robson So, looking at the game a bit more, I would like to see if I can escape my horrible mistake. Still think China and US and Russia are too darn strong to beat, but… its a place in a game I’ve never been before so playing it out longer is a great learning tool. If you’ll allow me to play longer for a learning experience, I’d greatly appreciate it.

@robson Computers are strange indeed! So, didn’t realize you had taken Eire before (should have, but didn’t). Huge mistake on my part. I’m going to concede the game, don’t see a path to victory now. Well played game on your part. Want to try another?

@robson Wow. That’s a new one.

Did you check the upfront information for us both. Make sure everything is still accurate or is imputed. I have to actually close out the game and start new with the original file if I look at the game on “local mode” to plan my move. Otherwise, it will lose that upfront info.

Worst case, you can also manually save the file by drag and drop into the forum. But obviously we want it working properly.

@Robson Well, looks like the dice gods decided they liked the Japanese on this one. ANZAC got the short end of it for sure… Looked like Malta all over again but reversed!
