Alright, good to go. UK lost a couple planes on the offense - rough round. Italy got lucky in 97. Though I guess I can’t complain as luck was with me last round in 110.
Italy’s pretty rich. Haven’t seen an Italy this strong in OOB in a long time. :)
And I have to hold Hawaii AND Australia!
But in my experience with P40, taking and holding one by Japan is very difficult. Maybe you will show me how it’s done. You are very good at this game - if you weren’t you would have given up by now! :-D
so, looks like I’m giving you a chance for a major fleet action in 46. But then would that not leave Hawaii open?
If I get long range air, it’s something to think about… LRA would get me an additional 2 fighters and a bomber
Hmmmmmmm
US9 with 81, buy 2 researchers

Hmm
Was hoping for something with more immediate impact, but I gotta be happy with that. And now I have a better chance of getting the immediate impact ones in the future… don’t forget!
I have quite a few things thought out, but have a ways to go - especially deciding where to position everything in the Pacific….
Played an awful lot of A&A today - needing a break…
maybe take another look at it later tonight, maybe not til tomorrow…
ugh…. just what I feared. US gets shipyards…
Well, at least Japan tried! Bring it on USA!
Gonna have to sleep on it…
It’s going to take a lot of thought to keep Japan from taking over Hawaii in the next few rounds…
Might have to buy a lot more subs and cruisers now, too…
Talk to you tomorrow, Karl
And it’s cool you wanted to play a tech game even though you haven’t bought any…. yet…
Probably just lulling me to sleep, and then BAM - game over with a tech assist
Definitely spices it up
ugh…. just what I feared. US gets shipyards…
Well, at least Japan tried!  Bring it on USA!
Hmm - you’re right. Shipyards will be amazing. Have been thinking about $5 subs and carriers that only cost $6.5 per hit…. and the transports, destroyers, cruisers… :-)
Well, at least I didn’t get them earlier with single die attempts - I put in the time and money…
Gotta go work somewhere this morning, and will be taking another look after that…
The ship yards are a game changer for sure so I got to rethink this.
What is your price list now?

7dd…?
not a big fan of researching tech, particulalrly as the Axis. Too hard to get and big chance it will be a loser.
Internet finally working right, so will be ready to roll today.
anxious to see the neutral crush!
oh, I see the discout prices on the map.
:-) Gotta eat, rest, and ice up my shoulder after that volunteer work! :-P
Hoping to get these moves done today, though. Yeah, excited about neutral crush since it’s my first time… I can’t take Saudi Arablia and Turkey both - planning on drilling Turkey. Spain is such a juicy target… But then, I’ll have to re-consider whether the whole thing is even worth it - but I don’t want to say I’m going to do a neutral crush in big bold letters and then back off!!
Should be able to pump out quite an assortment of boats off WUS… That limit of 10 will probably be a factor… :-)
It’s gonna be fun for both - whatever! I’ll do my best to keep you from ending the game in the next 2-3 rounds…
USA’s move will be the most important move in the game since the USSR decision not to attack the Germans after they moved into bry, I’d say.
Careful - you might be helping me!
Ha! I’d say you’ve helped yourself despite whatever I say. This is the first game I’ve ever seen where France was an active player! That is saying something. :lol:
I’m not sure Japan can be denied…
Still thinking through possibilities for both A&A…
Maybe I need to look at attacking Z46 again after all… :-P
I welcome an allied vist to sz 46. :-D
Be careful what you wish for.
It’s actually looking like my best chance.
10% chance I destroy everything!
Median is you are left with 2 damaged battleships and about 6 planes…. according to my rough approximations using an AA50 calc…
I think I’m liking the potential aftermath of slamming into 46, even for a median result, better than the alternatives.
But I need a break now. Back later tonight probably
