India and US brace for J3.
Yeah, its interesting.
Your Gibraltar gambit is working out pretty well.
I need to push the envelope elsewhere…

good game, looks like a fine spot to resign
I would do it all again except for using both my carrier and cruiser to attack the transport on uk1. It was an experimental move and I don’t think it pays off in the long run.
Before the game I was wondering “is a G1 AC viable?” and considering doing it in my next axis game. I think this game was a good demonstration of how germany can’t keep investments in the med.
