Message from United Kingdom:
Top: 1-3 Murmansk convoys increase Soviet production +1. 4-6 U-boats are sinking convoys.

Bottom: 1-3 roll that many times on Pol-Mil table to possibly remove political alignments. 4-6 imbroglios have no effect.
571 11/7/2022 2:05:00 AM Turn 6 United Kingdom Message Welcome to the London Conference, version B.

Operation Dragoon [so we are landing in Provence following Normandy but Italy has a way to go] UK Offensive Med.

U-boat roll to follow, might mean convoys increase Soviet production.

US Directed Offensive on table [it says D-Day but I suppose on this timeline it is D-Day follow-up]

Terror weapons. V1/2 mean US and UK lose a production each due to launches from Lowlands.

Government in exile leadership imbroglios mean some Pol-Mils might be removed. That's the lower roll in the following message. [Imbroglio is one of those words...]
570 11/7/2022 1:55:00 AM Turn 5 United Kingdom End Turn
569 11/6/2022 6:46:00 AM Turn 5 United States Message WELL, Perhaps Uncle Joe will attempt to offer the Brits or US a 'side deal' with promises to do 'such and such' on the next few turns if he wants some help?
568 11/6/2022 3:24:00 AM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message See 7.13 for CN removal as a front advances. It's a Soviet v UK/USA thing so no removals this turn.

Second Front Now - the Soviets are really stuck in the east until the allies land in Normandy and the Germans have to divert reserves to counter their advance.

Will set up C6 later today. We are heading up to Cambridgeshire from London this morning, if the trains are in the right place following the strike that didn't happen.
567 11/4/2022 6:50:00 AM Turn 5 United States Message Sure does seem the Soviets get the shaft on frontal movement - unless the other two Allies really decide
to help him.
566 11/4/2022 6:48:00 AM Turn 5 United States Message Is my US Malaya marker removed now that it is behind the Burma Front?

What about when Allies get to Netherlands (Lowlands) does the British chaps have to leave?

Finally I have to be careful this turn in the Pacific if I advance Central and not SW fronts or I would "GIVE" 5 points to each of you.
565 11/4/2022 5:20:00 AM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message USA leaps ahead: won conference, got a Global Issue, made headway with countries/colonies.
564 11/4/2022 5:19:00 AM Turn 5 United Kingdom Edit Provisional VPs United Kingdom: from 24 to 24
Soviet Union: from 21 to 20

Only W Theatre advanced, but now in Normandy, so good for Stalin.

Pacific Theatre:

1. CBI. Base 2 + 4 for OS = 6

2. S W Pacific. Base 2 - 2 for reserve = 0. No roll.

3. Central Pacific Base 2 -2 for reserve + 6 for OS = 6. This is the second roll.

4. No roll in Far East as condition in box has not been met.

Message from United Kingdom:
European Front Advance Rolls.

Western: base 2 - 2 for Ger Res + 14 for OS marker pile in. = 14

For the 7.74 breakthrough there is a +1 to see if there is a breakthrough on a modified roll of 10 or more.

Eastern: base 2 - 10 for reserves, + 8 for OS so Zero. No roll made. Next time the horde will not be there.

Med: base 2 - 2 for reserve + 8 for OS = 8. This is the 2nd roll.

Message from United States:

558 11/2/2022 8:58:00 AM Turn 5 United States Message IJN Fails

No Philippines entry so distribute between the theaters

placing the army in the Front’s entry
space: 1-2 Central Pacific, 3-4 Southwest Pacific, 5-6 CBI.

There is a NAVAL and an ARMY remaining.
The rules say to place ARMY - not sure if that means we ignore the Naval or consider them an "army" force so I'll place / roll for the TRUE Army guy first

Message from United States:
roll attempt in Central Pacific area
556 11/2/2022 8:54:00 AM Turn 5 United States Message Pacific areas

No threat to Japan so all armies able to move to fronts.

Russia has exited the Far East box so 2 IJN units need to go to that box.

NO allies in B-39 spaces so that is ignored.

Central Pacific is attempting to enter Ampib space so need to roll a 1 or 2 to see if Axis Naval counters it
555 11/2/2022 8:48:00 AM Turn 5 United States Message Germany
Nobody near Germany so all German black markers can to to Fronts

U-boats are gone so NO Grey Marker

1 German marker on Belorussia

No Normandy yet so 4 more markers to Russian Front

1 German marker in Normandy area

Italian marker to Southern Italy

No more Armies to place in Europe so DONE there.


554 11/1/2022 12:35:00 PM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message Feel free to move along the Axis reserves, otherwise I will do it when I am in London.
553 10/31/2022 6:59:00 AM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message UK has one Pol marker to place. It goes in Czechoslovakia.
552 10/29/2022 4:11:00 PM Turn 5 United States Message Place 1 in Austria
Place 1 in Poland - and remove the Soviet one
551 10/29/2022 9:42:00 AM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message Yes, US place 2 now (or remove opposing ones) in boxes where there is a US CN.

4.32 Political Segment: Players take turns placing all
of their Political Alignment markers at once. As with
Clandestine Networks earlier, the player with the greatest number of Political Alignment markers to place goes first...
550 10/28/2022 7:13:00 AM Turn 5 United States Message I believe NOW we do the Pol.Marker (tall column) phase

UK has 1 and US has 2
549 10/27/2022 3:45:00 PM Turn 5 Soviet Union Message USSR uses its one CN to remove the UK one in Finland.
548 10/26/2022 5:58:00 PM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message Got it thanks. 1 CN for Soviets next.
547 10/25/2022 6:36:00 AM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message Did you attach a file Bob?
546 10/23/2022 7:42:00 AM Turn 5 United States Message I believe the placement is from Highest to Lowest # of markers so USA is 2nd and goes next with 3 to place.

1 in Austria
1 in Cambodia
1 in Malaya

545 10/22/2022 2:22:00 PM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message Vietnam (so remove USA one)

Norway

Finland (to remove Soviet CN)

Finland


544 10/22/2022 2:17:00 PM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message Clandestine Network placement next. Most CNs goes first. We each get a base 1.

UK 1 + 3 from the 1/3 Issue = 4

Soviets 1

USA 1 + 2 from the 2/2 Issue = 3

UK first then USA and finally Soviet


543 10/21/2022 5:34:00 PM Turn 5 United States Message NOW the War Phase is up
542 10/21/2022 5:33:00 PM Turn 5 United States Message DUH.. I was waiting for somebody else and it's my go
Global markers - Neither one really helps me at all but since I don't have too many markers I want to be able to remove the "colonial" Powers more easily so I'll allow
people to PLACE markers without any restrictions
541 10/19/2022 1:57:00 PM Turn 5 Soviet Union Message The A-Bomb roll failed, but Stalin won the issue so the Spy Ring marker advances from Hanford to Los Alamos.
540 10/19/2022 1:50:00 PM Turn 5 Soviet Union Die roll request Request: 6-sided die x 1

Message from Soviet Union:
Roll for A-Bomb Research. The marker advances on a 4-6
539 10/14/2022 6:12:00 PM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message Soviets now roll for A-Bomb issue result, then USA decides global issue.

Message from United Kingdom:
Die roll for Corrupt Bargain. Bob chose Adams, others indifferent. Nick is Jackson on 1-2, Crawford on 3-4, Clay on 5-6.
536 10/11/2022 7:00:00 AM Turn 5 United States Message So, I converted the 3 in Central PA to arty
Now I have 4 more 1 goes to Spy marker
I gave one to Eastern Front, one to Med front
one more to Normandy
535 10/11/2022 3:14:00 AM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message Bob I think you need to show placing of two 2 O/S in Caroline Islands (Central Pacific) instead of a Naval x 3 marker.

Next up we have extra production for Theatre Leadership. All these go to USA so it is Bob again.

USA has Pacific so gets another to use in that theatre.

USA has Europe so gets one there plus another two for winning the theatre.

But you didn't allocate one to activating the 2/2 Pol-Mil so use one as a backdated activation of it if you wish. Pol-Mils don't have to be activated (but then they don't bring any extra benefits) as winning the issue in itself help win the conference.
534 10/10/2022 9:03:00 AM Turn 5 United States Message 6 productions -
2 to Normandy
2 Naval in Central Pacific
last 2 - 1 one to Med and 1 MORE to Normandy just to be sure

533 10/10/2022 8:51:00 AM Turn 5 Soviet Union Message If the USA could also put two offensive support in Normandy then that ought to give us an 80% chance of success.
532 10/10/2022 8:47:00 AM Turn 5 Soviet Union Message With 5 production available, USSR places 2 offensive support in Normandy and 3 in Belorussia.
531 10/10/2022 7:23:00 AM Turn 5 United States Message I will verbally commit to placing SOME forces on 2nd Front - perhaps
even Stalin will help out a little?
530 10/9/2022 5:29:00 PM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message UK Production. 6.

1 to the 1/3 Pol-Mil

1 for W Theatre Naval to aid Normandy

1 for Med Theatre Offensive Support as mandated (the OS already there is from the Tovey card)

1 for Normandy OS

2 for CBI Kra Isthmus

I think we are safe from naval losses now so with 5 there Normandy can happen. USA should add some OS there.


529 10/9/2022 5:19:00 PM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message Production markers. We each get an extra one for Strategic Materials being in the middle.

UK has base 4 + 1 for Strat Materials + 1 for winning US Production issue = 6. One must go to Med due to Conference card.

USA has base 6 + 1 for Strat Materials - 1 for losing US Production issue to UK = 6.

Soviets have base 3 + 1 for Strat Materials + 1 Arctic Theatre has enough fleets = 5.

UK goes first as to left of conference winner.
528 10/9/2022 5:12:00 PM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message US won conference 3-2-1 with 2 issues left in the middle. So that's 4 US conferences and 1 UK.

Place Directed Offensives? None.

Conditional Issues? Second Front allows attempt at entry into Normandy space this conference.




527 10/9/2022 5:01:00 PM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message Yes another UK conference victory. Onwards.

Am slow as off in Spain. See emails about Corrupt Bargain.
526 10/6/2022 7:46:00 AM Turn 5 United States Message Final US card.

Crowley is able to sneak across the line with the spy marker going from British 1 to US 1 for the final
and winning (sort of) the conference with 3 chits
vs British 2 and USSR 1.

Strat. Material will be left in center to benefit us all and 2nd front was placed at Stalin's request but not used by anybody.
525 10/6/2022 4:16:00 AM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message Sir Percy Noble. 2 value. Pol-Mil 2/2 from Sov 1 to UK 1.

I think USA will steal it to his track.
524 10/5/2022 1:54:00 PM Turn 5 Soviet Union Message USSR debates the US play with Georgy Malenkov. He's a 1 with +1 for Nyet so the Pol-Mil 2/2 moves from the US-1 space to the USSR-1 space.

Back to the UK to advance an issue, USSR is now out of cards.
523 10/4/2022 11:56:00 AM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message US Leahy shift: UK does not debate.

I'm off to the airport before the crack of dawn. Am not taking any independent internet, but expect will have access there (Spain), but you never know.
522 10/4/2022 8:32:00 AM Turn 5 United States Message I believe that would be correct
521 10/4/2022 8:17:00 AM Turn 5 Soviet Union Message OK, so now Paul and then I have an opportunity to debate your play?
520 10/4/2022 8:13:00 AM Turn 5 United States Message Sorry - NO DEBATE - just played my turn
519 10/4/2022 8:05:00 AM Turn 5 Soviet Union Message Just checking, did you debate my play or did you decline to debate and then advance the issue?
518 10/4/2022 7:35:00 AM Turn 5 United States Message A small contribution of Bill Leary moves the spy marker to the US 1 space
517 10/3/2022 5:21:00 PM Turn 5 Soviet Union Message I was just about to debate the play - I had Vassal open and ready - when the rule popped into my head. It's an easy one to overlook.
516 10/3/2022 5:16:00 PM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message > ...it can only be debated by Stalin or Roosevelt...

Not a rule that sticks in y head.

No debate.
515 10/3/2022 3:26:00 PM Turn 5 Soviet Union Message USSR plays Anastas Mikoyan, a 3, and moves the Pol-Mil 2/2 from the US-3 space back to the centre of the table.

Any debate?
514 10/3/2022 7:20:00 AM Turn 5 United States Message let it stand
513 10/2/2022 2:14:00 PM Turn 5 Soviet Union Message Wow, you really need to get him off the booze and cigars...

Since the issue was advanced by Churchill it can only be debated by Stalin or Roosevelt. Stalin is inactive, having been used to claim the A-Bomb issue at the start of the conference.

Does the USA wish to take back control of its own production by using Roosevelt to debate the UK play?
512 10/2/2022 9:39:00 AM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message There we go, heart attack again.
511 10/2/2022 9:38:00 AM Turn 5 United Kingdom Die roll request Request: 6-sided die x 2

Message from United Kingdom:
Move US Production from middle 7 spaces to Churchill's chair.

On 2-4 he has a heart attack.
510 10/2/2022 9:34:00 AM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message Thanks. Churchill stirs.
509 9/30/2022 12:27:00 PM Turn 5 Soviet Union Message Yes, Churchill had a heart attack in conference 3 so was inactive throughout conference 4. We're now in conference 5 and he is active again.
508 9/30/2022 6:23:00 AM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message UK next. Churchill is in the inactive end of the chair space. Can you check please to see if this is right? I believe he was inactive due to heart attack in turn 4, but that should now have passed.

Post 296 has the roll that took him out of turn 4.
507 9/29/2022 5:42:00 AM Turn 5 Soviet Union Message No debate from the USSR.
506 9/29/2022 5:35:00 AM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message UK will not debate. Will the Soviets?
505 9/28/2022 8:23:00 AM Turn 5 United States Message I'll play Jesse Jones and move the Euro Theater marker from British 1 to US 3
504 9/27/2022 6:20:00 PM Turn 5 Soviet Union Message USSR debates the UK play with Boris Shaposhnikov, he's a 4 with a +1 for Nyet so the European Theatre Leadership issue moves from the UK-6 space to the UK-1 space. USSR then passes and it's round the USA to advance an issue.
503 9/27/2022 10:45:00 AM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message Soviets to debate, play or debate + play.
502 9/25/2022 7:27:00 PM Turn 5 United States Message NO DEBATE

Alan Brooke. Play to move European Theatre Leadership.

He is a * so the value is this die roll.
499 9/23/2022 8:33:00 AM Turn 5 Soviet Union Message No debate from the USSR either.
498 9/23/2022 5:41:00 AM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message UK will not debate
497 9/22/2022 7:21:00 AM Turn 5 United States Message I'll play Frank Walker nd mvoe the 2/2 spy chit

494 9/21/2022 5:56:00 PM Turn 5 Soviet Union Message I'll play Gregory Kulik, a 4, and advance the Pol-Mil 2/2 from the UK-3 space to the USSR-1 space. Any debate?
493 9/21/2022 1:44:00 PM Turn 5 United States Message NO DEBATE
492 9/21/2022 11:02:00 AM Turn 5 Soviet Union Message The last play was the UK first debating and then advancing the Pol-Mil 1/3 to Churchill's chair. I chose not to debate the advance, now it's your option to debate it or not before I get to advance an issue. Note that if you don't debate it then the UK captures that issue for this conference and it cannot be advanced again (see 5.23, third paragraph).
491 9/21/2022 10:02:00 AM Turn 5 United States Message Okay I'm back and ready to continue whenever you guys are.

Very interesting trip to San Francisco and Seattle
490 9/12/2022 2:55:00 AM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message Am away from home so won't be doing much game-wise until back (especially Wednesday and Thursday when I won't have a laptop with me). Will have an iPad for Yucata games.
489 9/11/2022 4:19:00 PM Turn 5 Soviet Union Message USSR doesn't debate the UK's play this time, round to the USA to decide if they will.
488 9/10/2022 6:42:00 AM Turn 5 Soviet Union Message I'm taking advantage of Bob's absence to have a bit of a dither about that (and I've been busy with the house). I'll get my move in today or tomorrow.
487 9/8/2022 5:16:00 PM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message A Nyet?
486 9/6/2022 4:54:00 PM Turn 5 United States Message HEY..... ;-)

Now Russian turn
485 9/6/2022 4:46:00 PM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message Then for my normal play (not passing) Cripps, 5, to move the 1/3 from UK 2 to UK 7 (the Chair).
484 9/6/2022 4:45:00 PM Turn 5 United Kingdom Message Am doing what is effectively a double play: debate USA then play as normal.

First play Evill to move that 1/3 Pol-Mil from USA 1 to UK 2.
483 9/5/2022 2:17:00 PM Turn 5 Soviet Union Message No debate from the USSR so it's the UK to debate it or advance an issue (or both).
482 9/4/2022 5:12:00 PM Turn 5 United States Message Play the FBI J. Edgar Hoover card to move the Soviet
"spy" chit to US 1
481 9/4/2022 4:08:00 PM Turn 5 Soviet Union Message USSR debates the UK play with Nikolay G. Kuznetsov, a 4 with a +1 for Nyet, so the Pol-Mil 1/3 issue moves from the UK-2 space to the USSR-3 space. There are already five naval markers in the Arctic Theatre Box so his attribute cannot be used.

USSR then passes and it's round to the USA to advance an issue.
