I am curious: Which of the four players were aware that you were using the "Breaking the Nazi-Soviet pact" optional rule?

warspite1

We all signed up to the options at the start, and so we were all 'aware'. The start however was April last year.

Personally I do not have a great knowledge of the game. There are simply too many rules and options for someone with my limited brain capacity to get to grips with all the rules unless playing this game all the time (as I did back in the early/mid 90's when this game took over my life).

Playing all the time was of course the position I thought I would be in when the game came out. For a number of reasons - essentially the problems with the game - that has not proven to be the case. So yes I signed up to this option but then forgot all about it - which in itself is not great - but when the option is not found in RAC, that leads to the unnecessary posting about the rule subsequently.

I always play with this rule. But if someone would have asked few days ago "what does it mean" I would have needed rulebook

Same here. I knew garrison values were adjusted but couldn't have said to what extent without referring to the manuals.

Any chance of getting a global map screenshot showing hex control? That would provide a nice overview of where the action is. Maybe two: one showing all active Axis and the other showing all active Allied units at sea?

I am sorry about the delay. I'll make some pictures now.

USA trade 5 oil to CW, and have a unused convoy chain that could transport 4 of those oil to CW.

And CW has 4 idle factories in UK. Can we use the same procedure as the previous two turns? Simply reimburse 4 BPs to CW and 'idle' 4 oil so they get lost.

CW has three BPs remaining from last turn so if we add these 4 then CW will have 7 BPs that needs 'converting'.

No. It is the Bangkok militia. I meant to write Siam.

Axis won the initiative with the rolls 10 vs 1. Allies decide to not demand a re-roll since that would push the initiative track onto Axis +1.

I had planned to take a few screenshots and post and then ask if Axis wants to go first. But, for some reason, I can not make any screenshots at the moment.

Hopefully this will be resolved by rebooting my computer.

It is remarkable that these rolls weren't made during naval combat.

Not at all. If it would have been a naval combat then the rolls would have been reversed. Axis would have rolled a one and we a 10.

I begin to wonder how many times I have to knock those annoying Axis intrusions out from Allied waters.

But I have to give it to them that they are very persistent.
