Yes please.

Edit: if it's not too late, AllenK can decide as he is online now.

Unfortunately it is to late. [:(]

But I can go back if you insist. [;)]

[Orm]

Ridiculous. [:(]

Heh. I thought it might be too late.

[AllenK]

I would have said stay.

[Orm]

How will Italy place the first abort result?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

CP thanks. Axis stay.

Can you AllenK continue? I'm little busy at the moment.

[AllenK]

Will do.

[Orm]

The Danish merchant ships aborts when the Allied air force fails to provide adequate air protection.

The US entry effects from having the extra 2 chit earlier than they should are rather difficult to undo and what's done is done. We could fix the next entry roll that called for a chit, so 1 less was added and leave Madagascar as it is but I'm not sure how many more opportunities for that will present themselves.

The alternative is to remember to take 2 off Jap and 1 off Ge/It entry values when it comes to selecting US Entry options and DoW calculations.

On the other hand, the game is now in the position where Japan can align it at the next DoW step anyway. If the hex control can be changed, the Axis paid the cost of the alignment (even if it was illegal), so may as well have the benefit.

Since the Allies have operated on the principal Madagascar was Japanese controlled, option 3 would seem the best. Otherwise, option two. I'd go with trying to change the hex ownership.

I leave it to you to decide on a practical route to proceed.

It's only going to be an issue if Japan decides to start using the island or the Allies want to invade to take it back. We may as well leave things as the are for now.

Indeed. But does this mean we go with the option of lowering US Entry or with playing as if Madagascar was Japanese?

Allies roll 3 while Axis rolls 8. After some anguish the RN decide to take the battle to the Italian naval bomber.

Sorry, I meant play as if Madagascar was Japanese.

[Orm]

Ok. I thought that was what you meant. I just wanted confirmation.

[Orm]

The Gladiators and Swordfish all go out hunting for the Italian bombers.

[AllenK]

I think one Italian sea plane's career prospects aren't looking too promising.

[Orm]

And the final result was pretty much as expected.

And the British AA fire did what it was supposed to do.

Another round, I presume?
