Kobu_vs_JamesAleman_05_Anzac_Done.AAM

[JamesAleman]

UK fighters are suppose to be on USA carriers in Gibraltar, sorry meant to trad places with the USA that way I can still scramble 3

France will stay put likely, unless Italy gives me a reason to attack a blocking DD.

Kobu_vs_JamesAleman_05_Anzac_Done.AAM

[JamesAleman]

If a DD is all that is in Gibraltar, you can do Germany if you let me attack it after I see Italy…in order to permit USA and UK options.

I may not, but its up to you if you want to wait for me to respond to Italy’s move, or go ahead with German. Your choice.

[JamesAleman]

After action report:
Very fun game.
Obviously, you have delayed my attack on Spain, we’ll see if I can get there soon or if I am forced to go into the Med to exploit options.

I hope to still test the concept, we’ll see how this develops. I hope you don’t mind my changing the plan to respond to this game.

[JamesAleman]

Continued:
The carrier builds with Japan have forced the USA to respond for fear of losing the game after a possible success in Europe. I have to maintain some degree of balance or Japan will run away with the game. I see Japan retaking the mainland or India if they focus on it in the upcoming rounds. Anzac may be able to hold. If I lose 2 VCs I have to be able to secure one of the mainland ones with China. Time will tell.

Japan is successfully delaying America. Economics will need to change or it will get bleak. USSR has a few options based on what Germany does.
