Turn is in inbox!!! [&o]

[Lowpe]

Good luck! Your turnaround should be fairly quick, right? Can't move much.

Yep, Besides China there is very little to do. I´m aiming to get it back to Nick tomorrow evening. [:)]

2nd turn will be a PITA though...

[JocMeister]

Wow, that feeling when you open up a new turn for the first time in what? Over a year...? [:)]

Great song. I really liked the hood ornament in the video!

[JocMeister]

Its a good song. Not their best though. [:)]

[JocMeister]

China all done...but now I need to decide what to do with Force Z...

[Encircled]

As a JFB, I'm off to the other AAR so good luck Joc!

Don't lose them Admiral.

This'll be fun! A first turn to read on Sunday morning! [:)]

[rroberson]

Looking forward to it.

[JocMeister]

Didn´t have time to finish the turn last night. Spent an hour this morning and will be done shortly. I hope I can get the replay back today so I can do an update before I leave. [:)]

[vicberg]

Damn allies. Always so over confident, they can finish turns later. Sigh..

[JocMeister]

[font="Verdana"]Turn away![/font]

I should get the replay and CR back today so I can update the AAR before I leave tomorrow morning. [:)]

------------------------
Allied predictions
------------------------
I predict a full Mersing gambit. MKB outside Singkawang and the KB hitting Manila with everything they have. Olorin is going to blitz the DEI and land in Oz mid/late January backed up by KB and a full commitment in SOPAC. Early landings at Noumea, Suva and Fiji.

I´m going to work really hard not slipping into old habits. I have what I believe is a solid plan to counter the predicted Japanese advance. And what I think is a very solid plan overall for 42. I can´t stop the Japanese advance but I can throw gravel into the machinery. And I can try and force Japanese reactions to allied moves.

Now the waiting and guessing begins. [:)]

[JocMeister]

Running replay... [:)]

[JocMeister]

Was running the turn when I got an email from Nick saying he had forgotten something that could unhinge his entire plan. He then asked if we could redo the 1st turn. Obviously I´m not very happy with that as I spent over 8 hours with the turn including setting the alarm at 4 this morning so I could work on the turn before the kids woke up.

I asked him if there was anything else I could do but no reply yet. I really feel his pain but I´m not sure I could muster up the energy and motivation to redo the 1st turn again. There is absolutely nothing in the 1st turn for the allies that is fun to do. Its just a 6-10 hour chore. [:(]

Not sure what he missed but the only thing I can think of is that he forgot to load some troops.

Anyway. Not going to do an update until I know what will happen.

Yuck.

When playing Japan, I always run the turn against myself to make sure I did what I wanted. You can save in multiple slots to accomplish this.

+1.

Just read Olorin's AAR and his attitude is great. This is simply going to be a great game between great players.

[JocMeister]

I´m very relived to hear I won´t be redoing the turn again. Nick will try and recover from the mistake he did. I really hope it doesn´t hurt him too badly and he can get at least partially back on track. We all know how easy it is to make a mistake and generally I´m quite open minded for redoing the turn.

But setting up China is just pure agony! Just the thought of it made me want to do this:

Update coming tonight. Very interesting opening from Nick. One I have never seen before. I was partially wrong. Most of KB hit PH with good results considering the smaller strike.
