478 6/7/2025 2:15:00 AM May-Aug 1944 Japanese Message Alright, I'm not going to resolve B and C because they really don't matter.

Philippe, thanks a lot for hanging in through this long game, and your courtesy and sportmanship! Expertly played, congratulations on a resounding victory--hats off to you and the AP team.

I will do a VP roundup in the team chat, but I think we got 0 or even less!

Choose a Japanese occupied coastal hex. Up to 3 Japanese ground units in the chose hex and all adjacent hexes (that do not have to be coastal hexes) may conduct strategic naval movement (with no amphibious shipping points required) from these hexes to any single friendly port hex. No battles may be initiated. The move is unaffected by Allied air ZOI, however all other conditions for a strategic naval move apply.
