The squeeze on the Japanese fleet off of India looks like a great move. Hopefully I can find a way out of it, but I’m not confident. This might be partially a result of danger of looking at only 20% of the board at a time - I probably didn’t even have the UK fleet off of Africa on my screen most of the time ;)

It will also be interesting if Russia falls, but Japan gets a lot of its money taken away as I haven’t played that scenario yet. I’m not sure whether it’s better for the Germans to take out Russia or to just go for most of their Russian related NOs.

I decided to pull back to possibly attack the Russian stack in Korea, because I don’t think I could have reinvaded India consistently.

If you see anyway I could have saved my Indian fleet I’d be happy to hear of it after my move (where I’m currently planning on abandoning it). I was thinking about moving my SZ 6 fleet to SZ 36 to threaten a counter-strike, or even putting down 2-3 airbases (but the planes cannot reach).

[akreider2]

Hmm, or maybe I should stack SZ36… Very hard to figure this out.

Interesting. Didn’t expect you to attack my smaller fleet and move all in.

Note my rookie mistake. I thought the aa gun would stop the guerilla spawn in Chahar. At least that’s the type of mistake I can afford!

Now hopefully you stop shooting down my bombers. Right now I’d be happy if they only died 20% of the time. LOL.

Just noticed in another game that Triple A let me land a Japanese plane in a just conquered country (in China). So they might not always enforce that rule properly! In this case, I just walked into the territory on a combat move but without fighting. So maybe that made a difference?

[LennardF]

That’s weird, not even the Chinese with their special rules can land in a newly conquered territory.

[akreider2]

It was Suiyuyan. I invaded with an inf and then was able to land a plane. Maybe I should try to report this to the Triple A developers?

[akreider2]

My Triple A also gave me some weird error. So maybe it is buggy. I just tried out a SBR on Moscow and a Russian fighter died, but it didn’t remove it from the territory.

[akreider2]

Nevermind, it did remove the fighter.
