You can’t land your planes in Finland with only 5 movement.  Unless you’re claiming that Finland connects directly to  z126, which does not seem to be the case.  If that had been the case I would have defended my stack there more carefully.

[Shin-Ji]

I’m looking for official confirmation that z126 does not border Finland, and this is what I have found so far:

Here’s an image of the actual board that shows they do not connect:

The flight path was UK –> z110 --> z112 --> z125 --> Norway --> Finland.  The fighters can reach Finland because UK has an airbase.

Every game I have played so far has involved me losing a stack of Trn to my inability to count to 5 (or 7).  Sigh.  I still think I’m doing pretty well, though.

Italy 4:  34 IPCs.  Buying 2 Trn, 4 Inf, 2 Art

I was counting on that coastal bombardment, darn it.  Ah well.  Ours is but to do and die.

Italian schoolchildren sings songs of the invisible tank for years afterward.

Italy collects 28 IPCs, to its eternal shame.

I am not at my regular computer right now, so if you want to go ahead and do Germany that’s fine.  ANZAC will just buy 2 armor and 1 inf, NCM any units in South Australia or Queensland to New South Wales.  France has nothing to do anyway.

[Shin-Ji]

Slight modification to my Italy purchases.  Bought 2 more Inf and 2 more Art instead of the 2 Trns.

OK.  If you want to move the French Dst later, feel free.

Anzac collects 10 IPCs.

Now, Germany 5!  59 IPCs.  Buying 1 Dst, 1 Ftr, 1 Tac, 10 Inf.

The Egyptian refugee (I was told this was an advisory post!  No one told me I would be abandoned here!  The Fuhrer will hear of this!)  walks into Trj, because why not?

Once again your inferior defense outrolls me.  What units do you want to lose?

[Guest]

lose 2 carriers, 1 destroyer, 1 cruiser.

[Guest]

no wait a second.  didn’t I have 2 destroyers?  anyway, lose the carriers, then the destroyer(s), then cruisers.  I am not at my computer

[Shin-Ji]

I lose 2 AC, 2 Sub, 1 Dst

It should have been 3@3 there, but since they all hit, it’s immaterial.  Damn.  One of your defensive hits is negated by a Sub hit.

2 Ftrs, 1 Tac, 1 Bmb live to fight another day.  Wow.

[Shin-Ji]

Germany collects 40 from land and 10 from NOs.

I was hoping you would lose a bunch of your fleet, but that was pretty devastating.
