It cost me a tactical to get to those transports, as I needed to block since I was pulling the French DD out of the stack, not enough defense for a naval battle with ships in my opinion. Don’t know if it matters a whole lot long road.

[Kobu]

I figured those transports were toast one way or another. Darn French.

2 ftr = 20

That was some shooting by the Italian btw. Good thing you didn’t leave everything there.

I forgot to place the air base on the last map. Placed in Egypt.

Two planes hit.  :cry:

I’ve wiped out the entire Indian fleet with that little trick. Consider yourself lucky.

German soldiers arrive in Egypt. There is much rejoicing.

Collect 55 + 15 NO = 70.

Kobu_vs_JamesAleman_04_Germany_Done.AAM

[JamesAleman]

I expected the air base, that is why I landed planes on it. 5 planes in Egypt was a clue :)

[JamesAleman]

I hoped to get 3 but oh well, If I didn’t go there, then Italy would not have to buy the base.

wow, Japan still refuses to miss. I wanted to deny the naval base :( I should have sent the whole USSR army!

I guess my air force was out of supplies being in undeveloped China for so long.

Place in Russia
Collect 21

Note: France responds to Italy by moving into French East Africa since they left it open.

Kobu_vs_JamesAleman_04_USSR_Done.AAM

[JamesAleman]

Well, that ends the Asia campaign. Total cost to USSR assuming air force survives is 3 Mechanize infantry (paid for by Japanese DOW). Japan went sea first, so China is growing, it could be different if they went Asia first.

Order of loss in Yunnan: take off Russian tactical, then USSR fighters, then Chinese fighter (after I am out of infantry)
Order of loss in Indian Ocean: Anzac fighters before ships, if there is anything left after that, I’ll have to advise.
