BTW, I still think the theory of leaving Normandy French is sound, but the execution went too far. There is still a need to defend it - I haven’t been able to retake it this game.

[simon33]

As for Japan, buying a Kiangsu IC is pretty important. The extra CV J1 didn’t really help.

Scramble to z97?
Kamikaze in z19?

[simon33]

Can’t see how I can recover the game from here. I don’t really have any good options and I am not close to retaking Paris even.

[simon33]

What do you think?

Thanks for a fun game, even if I am a bit disappointed in the result.
