@ksmckay I can answer number one since I tested it: The objective require control of only S.Caucasus

@regularkid I’ll assume you don’t want to intercept; if you do I got enough fighters to cover the losses so the bombing run is not affected.

That’s it for me for tonight.

@regularkid Scramble and OOL in Normandy?

Why do I get the feeling the Western allies promised Russia air support and then failed to show up?

One alteration (that I will do by edit in ncm):
Swap a tac in sz111 with a tac in sz110; so the one movement left tac is in sz110.
Scramble?

@DizzKneeLand I think you missed something a lot worse for the allies. If got sz54 at 100% and more than 100 TUV swing even if Japan hold back two carriers to provide landing spots. Perhaps you want to reconsider your ncm for America? It won’t really affect Italy but I’m a bit spent so I’ll do Italy tomorrow. I did get some fun in tonight of the board game variety
which has always been my preference even more so as I’m getting older.

Never mind. Perhaps I want to dodge a counter attack; better wait with scramble request decisions until I’ve posted Japans attack plan…

I rarely get to play a&a irl either but I got one game in and thusly i needed to return here to satisfy me rekindled love.

No need to apologize. I hope you get a full recovery. You did inspire me to look up what rules TripleA currently has problems with instead of just leaning on it and hoping it would cover any rule I’ve forgotten. Turns out all the rules I could recall TripleA having trouble with has already been fixed with one exception and that one rule was not even listed among known “bugs”.

I made a silly mistake and had I not been lucky enough to encounter strong aa fire in Tambov I may have requested for the bmb to stay out of that fight. As it turned out I just edited my loss and the proof of my failure got erased.

@ksmckay I’ve thrown in the towel already but I too would find it interesting to play a bit longer. I’ll check in with you when things clear up too see if you want to pick the game back up.

@ksmckay I far as I can tell I won’t be able to produce turns in a timely fashion for the foreseeable future. Thanks for your patience but I recon my best course of action is to surrender at this point. While it might have been interesting to play out a few more turns my guess is that the odds of the outcome changing was very slim. I did enjoy the game while it lasted and when I get my shit together I may check if you’d like a rematch.

@ksmckay Been a bit swamped; if you want I can throw in the towel since that is the most likely outcome; otherwise I should get a turn in no later than next Monday…
