Oh I am wondering if I am doomed in this game already.
Certainly anything can happen with the dice, but the odds are looking a bit long.
@FMErwinRommel I want to see what happens this round with the Ger move to Finland. Japan was going to send its Phil tt’s north for safety. But when I put blockers, I kept them in place, in case you decided to take Isles instead of attack. Now Japan has no tt’s, but I had built up a counterattack force. Japan has bombers stationed to give air support to amphib re-invasion. They will be used to sink tt’s and ships. Japan had also garrisoned extra troops, AA guns and ftrs in Phil. So it will take you a while to conquer it. Japan still has 32 DD’s and subs in the Pacific, altho no CVs. The U.S. has 6 CVs and 12 planes.

@FMErwinRommel The Soviets are attacking!!! 18 casualties, OOL?
@Desert_Admiral Ger inf, Ger mech saving AA for U.S. air strike. Rus rolled 1 above average.
@FMErwinRommel You rolled above average with 22 hits. 9 more for you, OOL?
@Desert_Admiral and I rolled below there.
remaining mech and then art. I know that I would beat Rus better by taking AA and bombers, but I am still only losing 2 pointers, that’s not that big a diff.
@FMErwinRommel 6 more
Think I have 3 art left, so those plus 2 Jpn bombers and 1 Ger bomber . Bombers and AA both roll at 1 when the U.S. attacks, but the AA kills the planes before they can fire.
@FMErwinRommel 4 more. 6 AA’s, German bomber, Jap bomber, 2 German tanks, 7 Italian tanks, and rest of planes
Tough choice.  I have more than enough power to kill off the remaining Ruskies, but now I’m into tanks.
2 remaining art or however many are left and then 2 AA
@Desert_Admiral No artillery left, just what I’ve listed above.
4 AA The remainder will be weak. But U.S. would be split between 2 targets. But Brit came also attack.
wait. take bombers and AA
