579 3/2/2025 4:56:00 PM Jan-Apr 1944 Japanese Message ok great I can set it up later today. I will also be on vacation in April 10 to May 13 so we can figure out how to pause or slow down game play
578 3/2/2025 4:47:00 PM Jan-Apr 1944 Allies Message Thanks a lot for the game, and for answering all of my questions! I learned a ton!

I'm going to be on vacation the first couple of weeks of April, but if you're willing to pause the game during those 2 weeks (assuming we're not done by then) I would definitely be interested in playing another game.

I'd prefer to give it a try as JP since I've never played as the JP before.
577 3/2/2025 4:17:00 PM Jan-Apr 1944 Japanese Message Thanks for the game
No in the absence of allied PW cards, your only hope was to retake Burma; however that would have been difficult because I had a cancel SEAC offensive card as well.
I will report to Jeff
Do you want to play another game? If so, you can pick side you would like to play.
576 3/2/2025 3:06:00 PM Jan-Apr 1944 Allies Message I was hoping you didn't have that card!

With the cards I have left, I don't see any way of increasing US political will, so I think that's going to end the game, unless there's some mechanism I'm not aware of.
575 3/2/2025 2:58:00 PM Jan-Apr 1944 Japanese Change US Political Will From 2 to 0
574 3/2/2025 2:58:00 PM Jan-Apr 1944 Japanese Play Strategy card as Event #43: 1 / Tojo Resigns: Moderates in Power
If the game turn is 1944 or later, this card must be played as an event otherwise it is a Japanese option to play as an event, an OC, or discard. Reduce US Political Will by two. The Allied Manchurian Invasion card's prerequisite has been met. Flip the game turn marker from its PM Tojo to its Tojo Resigns side as a reminder. RESHUFFLE: If this card is played as an OC or a discard, reshuffle the Japanese deck at the end of this game turn. This card may not be played as a Future Offensive. Remove from play if used as an event.

OC: 3 EC: 0

567 3/1/2025 4:15:00 PM Jan-Apr 1944 Japanese Message Thanks, I don't see a way to get cards from deck but at any rate my turn is pass so your turn
566 3/1/2025 4:05:00 PM Jan-Apr 1944 Allies Message It looks like on turn 546 you moved the Indian Worker's Strike card from the discard pile back to the deck instead of to your hand.

Is there a way to select a specific card from the deck?

If not, just go ahead and assume you have the card in your hand.
565 3/1/2025 3:45:00 PM Jan-Apr 1944 Japanese Message Sorry yes JP unit should be eliminated
JP will pass for next turn no file

Hey I have in problem on turn 545 I used my option on Imperial Intervention to discard a card and pick up
#82: 3 / Indian Worker's Strike; however that card is not in my hand and I don't know what I did wrong or if there is a system problem (probably me), so I propose that I just pretend I have it and play it or retrieve the card I discarded.

564 3/1/2025 3:17:00 PM Jan-Apr 1944 Allies Message - The 5AF air unit in Aitape was participating in the air/naval battle. That gives me 18 attack points. That would be enough to eliminate the Aoba, correct?

Let me know if I'm applying these hits incorrectly.
* 2616 (Tarakan) : [2 AD] suffers a step loss.

- That's a total of 68 hits. I still have 8 hits left, but I don't think the critical hit allows me to apply any of them, since you've already taken a step loss. If that's incorrect, let me know.

This is the AP die roll for the air/naval battle.

Since this is an ambush, AP applies hits first, so I'm going to do the dice rolls separately.

All AP carrier unit attack strengths are reduced by 2, so I think I'm adding this up right.

AP has total attack strength of 76 and gets +5 drm (+1 for 1943 and +4 for ambush).

If I'm making any mistakes with these calculations let me know.

This is the AP air/naval die roll at 76 +5 drm.

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.
