404 12/13/2025 5:01:00 PM Sep-Dec 1943 Japanese Message I enjoyed the game as well Jeff, I feel like I really got the perfect storm of cards all game long as the Japanese so that helped.

I suspect we'll get another one in sometime in the future!
403 12/13/2025 3:33:00 PM Sep-Dec 1943 Allies Message Agreed and Congratulations! That was a welled played game by yourself. I enjoyed it and learned a lot!

Good luck in your future games and perhaps our paths will cross again!

Thanks again for the good game.
402 12/13/2025 3:25:00 PM Sep-Dec 1943 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

Message from Japanese:
I believe tojo seals the deal here for the win.

Good game, Jeff.

398 12/13/2025 2:07:00 PM Sep-Dec 1943 Allies Message Since it is 1943, I think the AP drm was +1 on the last battle (not +3). So, the AP only achieved 1/4x hits. I will flip the IJP 50 AF back to full strength. If I missed something, you can adjust before your next move.

Are you ok if I do that now?

I think it would be fair to allow you to adjust the location of any IJP reinforcements or replacements if you wish, since this unit should have come in during the reinforcement phase.

However, with the fall of Eniwetok, all of the Marshall Islands are going to change to AP control during the PW phase. That means that the AP will make the progress of war for this turn. This is covered in 13.92 and the last sentence of 16.47 (before the example).

If only I knew the strategy as well as I know the rules, I might give you a decent game! :)
