Hi Jonathan. I totally agree. Lets ask for an extension. Either way, lets play this out to completion, regardless |

Hi John, The organizer was emailing today asking about our game outcome. Currently I am in the decisive victory category, but of course as the game goes on the allies get stronger and the Japanese weaker. So in the last two turns it could turn around. Either way I want to continue playing with you to the end. Shall we tell the organizer we need an extension and then both try to play our moves as fast as possible, or do you want to call the game as far as the winner and then still play for fun? |

Sorry about the PBM goof, fixed now in an updated log file. Looking back in the log, it seems I made sort of just a statement and you didn't say otherwise, so my assumption was we were playing the VP version. And that is the version I have been basing my moves around. I do believe this is really the only proper way to play South Pacific in a competitive setting. I hope that's ok with you... "As well, just to clarify, my understanding is that we would play the victory points option for South Pacific versus the simplified port control. I have played the training version with port control as the only victory condition, and it really takes the game down a lot in my mind. Apparently in any tournament it would always be the victory points option." |

Can you please confirm if we are using Port Control or VP Schedule for the victory conditions for this scenario. I think you asked me at the start of the game and Im not sure I responded. |

Wow, that was bloody. You still have an aircraft remaining in the battle hex. I think you probably need to do PBM for that unit also. |

Please just remember to keep advancing the file number at the start of the naming convention with each new thing you upload, just to keep it all in order. No need to mark Nauru as a battle hex, as it was empty so it isn’t a battle area that I can react to. It is just a hex you have taken. You would have used your second and last ASP for the turn, so I have marked that for you.

Thanks for the comments. In your assault on Guadalcanal, you actually used 2 full strength armies, so I think that should be 4 used |

Great question John, and sorry for not having recorded the ASPs of my last offensive! That would have used three ASP because I moved a large (XXX or XXXX) size ground unit that was full strength, which uses 2 ASP. Then I also moved a large (xxx or xxxx) size ground unit that was reduced, which uses 1 ASP. My ASP marker is on 7 because that is how many I would have if not for ISR. But with ISR you divide by 2 and round up. So 7 becomes 4 as my max this turn. And I have now used 3/4. I made an updated vassel file with the ASP update as well as clicking around to show the mechanic, as to point out that if I had a card in my hand that would reverse ISR then my ASP available this turn would instantly go to 7, in which case I would have used just 3/7. Have a look at the vassal file and let me know if anything is unclear |

In terms of Battle A, because I did not get a crit roll, all your A/N would need to be reduced before I can do an elimination. So sadly I can’t even flip a battleship because the strength is 15. So no damage either side. Battle G * 4024 (Gili Gili): [CV Enterprise] is eliminated * 3626 (Cairns) : [5AF LRB] suffers a step loss. * Eliminated AL Air Units: [5AF LRB] retires from Battle * 3626 (Cairns): [5AF LRB] is eliminated My PBM will be the following, but technically it should be the reaction player to do PBM first. * 4024 (Gili Gili): CA Aoba moves to 4122 (Woodlark) * 4423 (Guadalcanal): BB Hiei moves to 4222 (Buin) * 4423 (Guadalcanal): BB Kongo moves to 4222 (Buin) Bty for PBM and next card play |
