This USA is embarrassing.  i still can’t believe how bad you torched me in that battle.

with 49 usa buys inf, arm, bom, trn, des, acc

FYI, if you attack the sub in either z38 or z48, you cannot also pick up the unit on the island (sum or ngu) during the same combat move (this is because the transport cannot pick up a unit in a hostile seazone).

you will presumably lose 5 inf, 5 arm - you can choose which later

defense - actually you have 15 arm - if you get about 2 hits here maybe this luck can even out!  :lol:
