@dawgoneit pretty good opening for Germany…
G40 Bal Mod Rommel (X) Colt (L) rematch no bid
-
In the sea battle by India, we each had a sub but no DD and Japan had no surface ships. Both subs missed. Japan planes inflicted 3 hits, sinking the Bri surface fleet. Bri couldn’t take the sub as a hit, because w/o dd the planes couldn’t attack it. Japan could have taken a plane as a hit to continue against the sub. But then it would have been sub-o-subo, w/o air support. Now the Bri sub can sink my trans.
Regards Ger, I had wanted to build art instead of inf to provide offensive threat. But chose a dd instead, in case Bri scrambled and Ger lost its other dds. This way Ger can take the convoy route and/or move into the Baltic. But an amphib against Rus is no longer possible. -
Good thing my sub didn’t hit. I would’ve submerged it had you asked. I didn’t comment on it when you asked scram because i forgot about it and didn’t download map. I was on phone for that answer.

number of planes to scramble in 110? Max defense or keep tac instead of fig?
-
scramble both planes. OOL sub, dd’s, cru, tcb, fig (which is prob best defense). I would have liked to keep all 3 planes there, but needed one in W. Ger. That one extra fig would have turned the odds around.

I couldn’t figure out what to do with Italy’s cash and moves. Europe 1940 was bad enough, but with UK Pac joining with Bri Euro, Ita is confined. Ger can help in the Med, but the Afr army can’t be supported and can be attacked from all sides. This is the 2nd time that Ita used its bomber to attack the Fra dd and the Fre hit. This time I had a fig take the hit. But that’s 1/3 x 1/3 or 1/9 probability. I had the cash to build a cv, but no extra figs to load it or dd to support it.
I thought that Japan could sink the US in Carolines, but Java fleet doesn’t have a naval base to reach. I knew it was putting itself out of reach to defend Japan. But I was able to take Java without a trans and it’s centrally located. China is tough. Maybe that’s why some players put an IC in Kiangsu T1 and don’t attack allies until later. -
In our messages, i wasnt sure what you meant about Italy having a higher income. Perhaps you meant only for this round, cuz i knew i could shut down Egypt, sub-Saharran Africa and soon retake Med. US has options at Carolines. It is normally more bark-than-bite in vanilla but with the added island hopping NOs, it seemed like a solid move with some options. China is beefing up and i hope to give you a tough choice of pressuring india or pressuring china, creating a pick your poison scenario.
