G40 BM2 Rommel X vs Colt L "Third times a charm"

[FMErwinRommel]

Woo hoo!  Didn’t take any hits in any battle.  Even took Java with 1 marine & air against 2 land defenders.  So no defenseless tt for you to attack.  One land unit attacks in Yun and Shan with air support succeeded against single defenders.

[FMErwinRommel]

“JAPANESE INVADE ALASKA”  Citizens flee on dog sleds.  Sparse military units in continental USA caught off guard.  All units in lower 48 states are ordered to retake Alaska.

[FMErwinRommel]

Correction, Japan lost a sub.

That Alaska thing is a thorn in my side, but yeah, this is why I threw away the BB. I know how important TTs are to Jpn, although this marine thing makes it slightly less so. My Yunnan stack might or might not pan out but your lack of TTs at least gave me the option to do so.

Headin to a friend’s to watch the Minnesota Wild game so won’t post again tonight.

[FMErwinRommel]

Okay.  The ability of China to build troops in any terr, even one that it just recaptured, is huge advantage.  I didn’t see the combined stack coming.  Jpn doesn’t have the tts to end run on India, which is adequately defended.

[FMErwinRommel]

I thought ANZ would send its dd and tt to Java to block Malay fleet from joining an attack on U.S. fleet in Aust, while also retaking Java.  The battle calc says Jpn would win sea battle in sz54.  But the unit and power numbers are fairly even, and U.S. could take hits on carriers and planes could retreat to land and bb could repair if it survived.  But Jpn fighters on damaged carriers would crash and bb would remain damaged and couldn’t reach a seaport for repairs in one turn.
