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.

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.

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.

Place 5 inf, 1 art, 2 DD in WUSA

notes: moved 2 subs to australia, bomber to WUSA, Atlantic fleet to Gibraltar.

Economy looks bad for now, I suspect it will beginning changing in the middle phase, now that the beginning phase is finished. If it doesn’t change, I’ll need to act fast.

I have a weird order of loss, if you decide to hit Gibraltar, I did not block as Italy was in range, and I don’t want to throw a carrier with planes and a destroyer just to block. So I will need to reply to a battle if you go, I think it is 15/17hits on 18/22hits if I calculated right. I’ll have to take Morocco to prevent 5 Italians from strafing with 5. Not sure if I want to do that. I’ll likely assign my hits in a weird way either way.
