[tinydictator]

darn! in that case, I’ll convert 3 Inf in Ger (9 IPC) to 1 Mech (4 IPC). If you have a problem with that, take away 2 Infs in Ger and save 1 IPC.

[tinydictator]

hm, Russia is getting conspiciously rich!

[tinydictator]

Btw, you have one infantery too many in CPr. You had only 2 Inf in NPr, and both of them went to Iraq.

[Pakitho]

No problem with the change.

Russia is rich, but it is also engaging in a three-front war… You’re right about the inf in Per. Then, one of the mecs in Cau goes to Per instead of Bry - do you mind changing the map on your turn?

For ANZAC, it’s not only the turn that you pointed out the 26 but the also the turn before (hence the +10). I don’t think Japan is in a position to threaten anyone, particularly ‘fortress Australia’  8-)

[tinydictator]

I corrected Germany and Russia. Russia’s third front is rather calm right now, but hopefully I’ll be able to change that at some point. Still, thank you for letting me have another shot at Hawaii!  :evil:

I guess I’ll need your OOL for Yunnan.

[tinydictator]

Wooot! The empire strikes back. This time, with fortuna on her side.

[Pakitho]

Yes, the tables have turned… I lose the AA in Yun.

And the pesky AA is gone.

The good news is that transports cost only 7, so two for 14 rather than 16. The bad news is that you still bought units for 72 IPC, not 65 (you forgot to pay one DD).
