Rematch 4 player game (Orm, Peskpesk, jjdenver and Mayhemizer)

[Orm]

Editing is easy, I can put subs to box 3.

Yes. But should they be there? Were they not already in Singapore when the end of turn began?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

They were in Singapore because I played naval combat wrong in Bay of Bengal. Only surface ships were in combat but I didn’t remember the rule and aborted all when combat ended. So subs would have been in Bay of Bengal. I will edit them there.

Instructions said:

Use Oil:

Germany:
- All air reorganized.
- All land units reorganized except YUG HQI
- No ships reorganized.
- 6 oil to remain. One in Belgrade, one in Prague, one in Munich, and three in Berlin (5,4 oil used?).

and

Preliminary planning:
Italy - 9 production points - 14 BPs. Save 1 oil in Milan

***

With German instructions only 4,4 oils are used. I believe this is correct. Germany has 10 oils before oil use, so 6 remains.

Italy does not receive any oil, no oil to save. Is this correct?

Just making sure. Last night progress was gone as CW production was mess again as I entered to final production phase, I need to fix it before that.

[Orm]

You are correct on both counts.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Almost done. I need to consulate JJ

Did we make a decision that do we end at the end of the J/A or play to the end? At least end of Germany and Italy and conquering Japan. Maybe we can stop there, I think we should conquer China too, but then there is not that much to play I think.

I would like to play to the end.

[Orm]

We have played as the game ends at J/A '45. Also, the option for extended play is not in use. So I would argue that the game is decided at that point.

With that said, there is nothing stopping us from continuing past the end date if we so desire. I assume that the extended play option may be changed from the form. I will talk about this with my ally.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I didn’t realize that. Ending J/A 1945 is OK too. We should have played better to end the game in time

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Sorry guys I have been a bit busy.

I edited again Königsberg MIL to map. I had trouble with it again, but the easy way was to copy all information from a save file when it was on map.

Minor problem with instructions during reinforcement phase

MIL -> Königsberg
9-4 INF + 7-4 INF -> Königsberg

Either 9-4 or 7-4 INF must go somewhere else, where do you want it?

[Orm]

Place the 7-4 INF in another city as close to the Eastern Front as you can.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I placed it to Berlin, no closer city was available

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I go roll initiative.

If Allies win, we go first. No reroll for Allies.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Allies win first roll (Axis 6, Allies 8)

Now Axis reroll (init at Allies +1)

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Axis win with a tie (Axis 3, Allies 2)

Mostly in nice weather, what a pleasant surprise for the Allies.

[Orm]

Plan to begin our impulse tomorrow.

Still has an infection in my body so I've been very tired lately. I had wowed to myself to have completed the first part of our impulse by now. Disappointed that I have not managed to do so. Although fun stuff ahead, and that is something.

I am sorry about the delay.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No worries about the delay. Please rest more and plan the impulse again, I don’t want to see any fun stuff from the Axis

[Orm]

Had planned for a weekend filled with MWIF. Didn't get to play even a few minutes. I hope to get to the game soon.

[Orm]

One thing, or illness, after the other. And medication that made me even worse. Almost no sleep for a week now. Have been retching, or throwing up, every 30 minutes or so for almost a week now.

However, today I kept the first food down, and feel somewhat better. So I hope that a good nights sleep will do the trick, and that I will get back to our game tomorrow. Have had lots of time to ponder on fun things one can try to do,

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Get well! I’m getting worried about these plans…

[Orm]

Nothing to worry about at all. Just bored being passive. That is all. Probably a dumb idea anyway.

Feeling better today after my first good nights sleep in a very, very, long time, and ate my first real meal in a long time as well (albeit a small meal). However, the day has been long, and been prodded, and measured, and so on. So I am a bit exhausted. Therefore I begin with the game that is faster (to turn over impulse). Peskpesk, I think, would like to do his part on Friday. Therefore, I begin with our storm game although this one should have priority (waited longer).
