I wanted to destroy most but not all Rus units in Bry on the 1st round and then retreat.  Attrition rather than decisive battle.  Ger income fell and will fall again.  The advantage Ger has is that it starts with a big air force, so doesn’t need to spend on high priced planes, except occasional bombers.  Jpn has even bigger advantage with the most starting planes and lots of capital ships.  So it doesn’t have to build expensive units except some bombers and occasional cv.  Brit starts out with good number of fighters, altho spread out.  Its large starting fleet is misleading, since much of it is sunk before it’s turn starts.

Please excuse my forgetting to blitz rostov. I decided i wanted an inf there anyway in non-com. You are still doing plenty good as Ger, I feel, especially if your bombers continue their success.

Smart move to threaten the Ger army.  You know I can’t win an attack on you.  So you force me to retreat or move my planes from Novg to Ukr.  It’s late and I need time to plan Jpn’s moves, so good night.

Submerge sub in SZ75?  Jap attack with 2 subs, Bri defend with dd and sub.

[FMErwinRommel]

Forgot to say Jpn, instead of that politically incorrect abbrev for Japan, that the automated A&A forum sensors xxx out.

[FMErwinRommel]

That Aussie tt is just out of bomber and dd reach w/o a naval base.  The Aussie figs with air base last turn, really had me trying to find a way to protect all my ships.  Planes don’t have the range to attack islands, but can reach sz’s if they have another place to land.
