@crockett36 I know that complicates the software. It will only be an issue if the sub gets a hit the second round. My advice is to play it out. If the sub gets a hit, I still get a return fire at a 2 under Game: roll dice.

I’m sorry if you think this unnecessary, but I do want to ask casualty choice in WUK and thanks for not shooting my plane down
Down to 1 INF, 1 TAC, got 1 hit against AA, INF
-
I’m desperately thinking about a reason to leave the AA alive.
Keep the infantry! -
All 3 attacks repelled, NO german infantry lost.
Well, I took out an AA and didn’t lose a tac, so could have been worse. -

That German defense was really strong, nice.
I’m quite uncertain the movement of my Japanese Fleet to a seazone without a harbour is a good idea, but every option had it’s disadvantages. Overall I hope this is the least bad option.
-
That whole mess with my turn in the Pejon game is really unfortunate. It will certainly not be the last time some questions arise. I hope there will be a solution in the future.
Anyways, I’d love to get back to our game… oh wait it’s your turn!
Why don’t you spend some time in lovely Hawaii? I heard there are wonderful beaches, your soldiers could use some vacation time -
The boys told me when they were enjoying Hawaii that they got bombed on a Sunday morning. Now they’d rather be in Peleliu
I think we each just got a little sloppy around India.
-
You think so? Do you think I should have gone harder for India or what do you mean?
I’d like you to elaborate, once these insights won’t affect the current state anymore.
As much as I already like my Japan play, I do have a tendency to not “seal the deal”. I hate committing to for example getting India, when it’s not bullet proof and when it’s sacrificing my position elsewhere. Even though sometimes that would be the right choice. It’s not my style of play, I prefer the slower and more economic approach.

I can do some of that now, no problem

Oh that makes total sense, the issues I immediately see would take very few resources or compromise position
-
Again, I would love to see these suggestions.
As Axis my biggest tactical problem is to not be decisive enough, not confident enough to strongly push for a certain goal.
I prefer the decisions that are long-term-oriented, that are more efficient on paper.That hinders my Axis play in a lot of situations. It is much more effective when playing Allies.
-
In round 7, I decided it was just a little bit too thin to hold Burma and India. I could have if I moved ANZAC air down, but with the Italy/Russia situation I didn’t want to do that, and went this route, sacrificing the Chinese fighter which isn’t too big a sacrifice most likely.
I probably should have. Now I’m looking at 50/50’s in SE Asia and I can’t replenish like you can.
Since it’s not unwanted, here are my simple suggestions for this situation, that I am really glad you didn’t do:
-
Well, your waves of men will probably still work, but I think I have a little more time now.
Basically, you just needed a wee bit more pressure there.
3 mech in FIC and just a plane or two in range of Burma and I would be pinned.
Haven’t looked at our fleet situations yet
-
Even so, I still have a problem down there.
Too much talking on my part, it’s time to show.
I want you to tell me later, when you can, about your fleet placement…
-
I want to buy 1 INF, 2 ART for India instead of 3 INF. Posting this before I roll dice

Forgot DD to 92

Pretty exciting - it’s coming down to single units in some places
-
And right now offense is on fire on both sides
