30 7/9/2026 4:05:00 PM Jan-Apr 1942 Allies Message True, but it just bad for me the way I played it. My disadvantage to not know the SR result before deciding on card vs roll. And in this case it was clear from the start that the SR roll would not matter at all, since I had no reaction possibilities.
In any case: I play my fist pass now. no file.

Would you have bid for Allies?

Anyway, I don't care. I'm fine as the JP. Please do your ENM ; I will use the historical hand. Afterwards decide about ABDA.

6	7/8/2026 3:50:00 AM	Jan-Apr 1942	Allies	Message	Sorry about the bidding order. I have been playing this ladder for so long, but I never noticed that it had a convention for who bids first. I think I still use the tournament mechanic. Would you have bid for Allies?
5	7/8/2026 3:20:00 AM	Jan-Apr 1942	Japanese	Draw Strategy cards	Drew 7 cards. NOTE: Using 'Historical Opening' option.
4	7/8/2026 3:19:00 AM	Jan-Apr 1942	Japanese	Message	Hey Frank, as a matter of fact I should bet first as I'm behind you in the Ladder. Rolling a die on ACTS is only to determine sides, not the first bidder. Anyway, I don't care. I'm fine as the JP. Please do your ENM ; I will use the historical hand. Afterwards decide about ABDA.
