I’m going to have to redo the US turn.  I thought that the ANZAC planes would join in the battle if dragged there by the US carriers… my apologies.

[ItIsILeClerc]

Same for the UK FTR I guess ;-).

Yeah, foreighn aircraft on US carriers, I know the pros and cons of that. They don’t join in the fight but they still die if the carrier dies. Be aware that they also won’t fly (not even in defense) if on a damaged carrier. In short, US carriers with foreighn aicraft on it better not be in a battle if you can expect a counterattack on them, if you get what I mean. If this wasn’t the case I would not have exposed the IJN like that. On multiple occasions now already.

One of the more hidden cons, is that once on the US carriers, they are hard to relocate (the carrier will be ‘out-of-planes’ for a whole turn, more often than not requiring the entire USN to back off).

Go ahead and redo US8. I don’t mind.

The UK move didn’t properly post.  Here is the save file.

I have no idea how to win as the Allies.  I needed to attack Europe to prevent Germany from driving to Egypt for the win.  I can’t attack any of the normal locations because your planes are too strong.  I am trying the Neutral Crush, but I am skeptical that it can work.

What would you have done, and do you think that I have a chance to win?

Heh, don’t worry about it, it doesn’t look like a bad move right now anyway.
Okay, Germans will have a few more bucks and troops but as far as the bucks go, so do the allies!
Strategically, a drive to Cairo through Turkey is closer than around it, so you could end up shooting in your own foot. But we’ll have to see that. Maybe it’ll never get this far ;-).

Interesting game so far. Lots of things I never really played or played against: DS, Neutrals getting attacked by the allies, Russia Abandoning Moscow…
