ORIGINAL: BBfanboy Looks like he triggered the emergency Aussie reinforcements. Do you have the shipping to bring them in from Aden and Cape Town? Where will you send them? Most everything is heading into India. We have no PP to move between borders and when he finishes off China he may just try to take a big bite out of me. Within 3 weeks there will be at least 3 American ID on continent. What I need to work on is my air force skills. They are my weakest, particularly bombing with fighters and 1&2eb. Got a lot of crews with 60+ lnav but need to know what else they need and how to deploy them properly. So you've gotten the reinforcements but asked him to stop the Australian advance? I get your concession on the 4E altitude settings, but in my eyes that is minor compared to the advantage a Japanese player could gain form taking Sydney wiping it's industry and shipyards, and getting a chunk of Aussie troops. You guys have solved it to keep the game going and make it fun, but as an Allied player you know what you're getting in future. Do you need the concessions about stopping his advance? The reinforcements are pretty good compensation, but also that the Japanese would be overextended, and you could eventually use that against him. Would have been cool to see. Mr. Kane's objective was not to win, it was to play through 1946. If he chose to continue and destroy the majority of the Australian army and take all of Australia which he could have done easily then I would have surrendered and quit the game. His concessions were to get to play scenario 2 with PDU on in a stock scenario with basic map and I thought he would not try to wipe me out. I was mistaken but we have rectified the situation. Interesting. I understand the compromise to keep the game going, but I'm a little surprised you would have quit if he took OZ. It's a blow for sure, but you're an experienced player, and I'd bet you'd eventually use that against him. I would have been into seeing that. Still very interested to see this one play out though and glad you both are satisfied with the way it worked out.
