SZ54 will be attacked by Japan. Everything on or around the Carolines plus 2 more pairs of planes. Can I assume a scramble? I can’t see a reason why it shouldn’t be max D.

Nice move - you snuck up on me and I got caught defending Ukraine and then neglected the Russians on US turn. Will come down to dice? I haven’t looked yet…

well, if you move all into Moscow I will have around 60% I believe, which is pretty much a coin toss…

nasty :( , and people are complaining about AAs being overpriced, you keep using them pretty strongly against me (starting with 2 planes shot down in Java)

That’s right :-)
I was actually the one who talked Larry down from 6. He was just going to leave them the same as before, when he made the big rule change. -

You’re a nice guy
I can’t say any more or it’ll start helping you :-P
I sure did flub by flying 2 USA fighters east, though. And you made a great move in response, that’s all there is to it
Maybe you saw it coming clear back on Japan’s turn, because you moved the sub away from Z5? :| -

need your scramble decision @ hawaii. Lets see how does marines really are. As per the Jap sub… sure, sounds as a good compliment but that was not the reason… Japan just needs to focus on self survival rather than helping Germans… but at least Hawaii shall be mine now!

Marines proved to be a good purchase, can’t be said about mine mech units in China though… I would execute them myself if they survived, for what they showed in Burma… still in my eyes Japan is doing better than expected given their rather dwarf economy… I think I just recorded my ever first capture of New Zealand :)
-
It takes time for economic changes to make much difference unless you’re on defense like Russia. You don’t play enough if you’ve never taken NZ before - play more A&A! :wink: First time I’ve held all 4 money islands like this and then lost New Zealand…. :-D
Needed the stand in Burma… after my 3 aircraft all got smoked, and after Yunnan and Shan? fell with a whimper

Man, that Moscow battle is crazy… it is essentially a 50:50 battle… for sure if Russia wins the battle, it is game over for Axis. If Germany wins, sure winning of the game is not guaranteed yet, but would be pretty sweet deal for Germans actually +29 IPC plunder from Moscow +8 IPC/turn from Moscow income. Also interestingly if Germany wins, according to battle calculator it will have 13 surviving units on average. 13 surviving units does not sound bad at all… eg 8 armor + 5 planes… given your current Russian are spread all over means that you would not be able to recapture Moscow… and with Moscow plunder Germany can renew Luftwaffe fast… then I don’t see Stalingrad surviving long against the double front pressure from Moscow by Germans and from Caucasus by Italians…
I thought you would position all Russian units, that could not reach Moscow, into Tambov… so if I won Moscow battle you could recapture immediately…
hmm… given that you have superior skill, but had some bad luck in the early turns… the balance mod (without those 4 NO’s) is maybe pretty well balanced so we arrived at this climatic 50:50 battle over Moscow…

… 13 surviving units does not sound bad at all… eg 8 armor + 5 planes… given your current Russian are spread all over means that you would not be able to recapture Moscow…
even forgot 4 German AA in Smolensk that can reinforce Moscow after the battle… allows me to kill some more armor
-
I can’t comment on the Russia situation at this time
4 NO’s is a lot, so saying the balanced mod is balanced if you subtract 4 NO’s is kind of weird I think :-) -

sure, I was trying to say, like you could have a very good guess where the balance in this mod is. Implying then of course that the original mod is not balanced.
