I appear to have missed something in the rules. Can someone please point me in the direction of the rule that says:

Vis-a-vis the first turn of the game, if warspite1 is playing the Allies then the first turn goes on for ****ing ever. However, if the aforementioned numpty is playing as the Axis then the first turn ends immediatement, if not sooner.

[:D]

It’s not you, it’s me. Don’t be so hard to yourself [:D]
Me playing Axis = long first turn, me playing Allies = short first turn.

Edit: you will see when we play as team!

warspite1

Well when that happens one of us will lose our first turn record - and as I will be on your team then, I hope its you that maintains your record [:)]

S/O 39 Allies 15

No DoW or alignments

CW naval, China land, rest combined.

CW sails Dutch TRANS from Guyana to Gulf of Guinea. 3 Dutch CP's sail to Cape St Vincent. Danish shipping vacates Denmark for the North Sea 0-box. 2 CA's sail from Gib to CSV 4-box. Sub from Malta sails to Italian Coast 3-box. It is joined by a French sub sailing from Beirut to the 2-box.

After declining combat in 3 areas, the remaining two are:

First up, the Italian Coast.

The Italians could fly 2 FTRS's. Re.2000 up to 1-box and CR.42 to the 0-box. Any offers?

CR.42 to box 0, thank you.

Searches: Allies 5, Axis 8. No combat.

Next up, the Baltic where the surviving French CA attempts to find the German convoys.

Searches: Allies 4, Axis 8. The Allies find and include the 0-box only. The French use their surprise points to maximise damage to the Germans. How do they want to place losses?

Why??? [:@]

X on CP. Abort CA to Königsberg.

Axis stay.

Losses as requested. I don't bother with the dice roller for Graf Spee as 2 A's will send it back to port no matter what.

The French incursion into the Baltic is ended as the last CA is aborted. It retires to Frederickshavn.

The Nationalist Chinese make some minor adjustments.

Sep/Oct 1939
Impulse: 15 (Allied)

The Communist Chinese have little choice but to withdraw. This could be a very short game for Mao....

End of Turn:
Turn ends on less than 9 (a 5 is thrown)

Sep/Oct 1939
End of Turn Phase

Partisans: No partisans appear

Markers:
The Germans place one marker in each pool
The Soviets place one marker in defence

Germany place one marker in each pool.

What do the US want to do with the US Entry chits?

Edit: To move the game on (I cannot save at this phase) I choose Ge/It pool and no US Entry picks.

Fine with the US chits.

However, occasionally some things appear to go as desired.

The thing to remember is Murphy's Law is itself subject to Murphy's Law (a lesser known insight only generally acknowledged by students and practitioners of Advanced Murphology). A rough translation is 'If anything can go wrong with the thing going wrong, it will.' It provides the only documented exception (Murphy's Law in operation) to the well known general rule 'Two wrongs don't make a right'.
