Woot, woot. Japan is getting pretty uppity in the Pacific. I’m glad I placed a skirmish line around Hawaii, I thought you might go for an early strike. Time for the US to wake up and kick start the Arsenal of Democracy.
USA turn 2 buys: 2 Destroyers and 6 Subs=52 IPC’s.
Attacking the Japanese only, no delcarations on other Axis powers.
Attacking SZ25 with 1 Sub, 1 Tac & 2 Fighters.

Sorry, but didn’t bring the transport on the map, but two infantry in Egypt means I brought it.

My super-risky bold move pays off the first round, against all odds. Things can turn in an instant.

Ok. I’m getting breaks. Maybe my bad luck got used up for awhile against Steve. You can thank him.
Italy collects 19 + 10 NO = 29 IPCs.
-
Very nice. This is the first game I’ve ever seen Italy take Egypt. I also really liked your Japan turn 2 moves. Well played sir.
-
Also, when I attacked you in Alexandria, I should have sent you a quick message to see if you wanted to lose the Artillery or the Mech. I obviously chose the Artillery, but you can switch that for the Mech if you’d like.
-
Thank you!
The Egypt move was 50-50, and I was feeling ok about it because I had the extra unit. Frankly it was pure luck.
I’ve never done a J2 before so I was curious, and I like it. It suppresses the economy of India and Anzac, somewhat, as it kills those transports before they can move twice. That was actually the entire impetus for the decision.
-
Good point, and thanks for the catch - I’m ok with the Mech as is.

ANZAC turn 2 buys: 1 Aircraft Carrier=16 IPC’s, saving 2 IPC’s.
Moves around & places. ANZAC collects 17 IPC’s.
France longs to make fine wines, but looks on Europe with disgrace and a tear of defeat is shed. :cry: They commence to moving.

I am a kind and gentle occupier. The French may make as much wine as they want, and keep it, and drink it. But no sabotage!
Germany 3 purchases Minor IC, Fighter, Destroyer, 8 Infantry = 54 IPCs.
