I was so pissed at battle in Shan that I just looked at Malaya and my odds were good; but didn’t even notice you could also reach FIC. Could have used an extra inf in attacking Shan, but couldn’t continue to do that every turn.
-
@FMErwinRommel please use 2nd file…slight ncm change
-
I rolled 1 for 8. If I had moved my tt from Okinawa > Japan the prior turn, it wouldn’t have been sunk and I was prepared to take the Marianas with help from my bombers in Guam. Then you couldn’t have built there this turn.

Submerge sub in sz105? Scramble fighter in Egypt > sz98?
Attacking DD in sz105 with sub & 3 bombers. Attacking DD in sz98 with 3 bombers. -
Changing my builds: -2 inf, -mech + fighter. Please allow me to do this via edit at end of my turn, rather than redo everything now.
-
@FMErwinRommel No problem on the edit to purchase…its always a pain having to redo!
No scramble to 98
Sub fights at least one round…If my sub hits it is a first strike so kills yours before you shoot, so then submerges
If my sub misses, but yours then hits…take my dd as casualty please and then my sub submerges
If both subs miss, but your bombers hit please submerge my sub.
If everybody misses everything (Unlikely!) then please continue with the same provisos as above!Thanks!
-
@FMErwinRommel basically, no matter what my sub should survive…cant see any scenario in which you kill it!
-
My turn for perverse dice, the DD that was attacked only by air, hit. If the other DD had hit instead, I could have taken my sub as my hit. Plus only 1 of 7 defenders hit in Russia, where I could have taken an inf as a hit.
-
Oops, I didn’t do Moscow battle. ha. Let me do that now
-
I thought that my sub in sz105 would submerge not retreat. There was no chance of battle, since you wanted to submerge. I should have stayed and then submerged you. I will edit that.

After all those turns of being in Bry but not attacking Moscow, it became a habit. I had decided what units to attack with, but just overlooked it. Max convoy damage of 7 was higher than I ever, but at least I got to 100. How the tides of war change based on who the allies decide to attack. Poor Japan. I shot myself in the foot by not taking Shan with sufficient force. Bad timing with the U.S. ready to rampage throughout my Empire.
-
The raw Russian conscripts left to defend Moscow either just surrendered without a fight or ran away, because no one hit. That makes up for my downed bomber, as bombers can be used as soon as they’re built, but Germany can only build a limited number of troops inside Russia and the ones built in Germany have a longer journey.
