ANZAC2
17 Buys: 3 Infantry save 5 IPCs
DOW Germany, Italy, Japan because I am already at war with them!
No combat.
Collect 14+10NO + 5 saved = 29
Notes: Block 2 sz’s moved into Yunnan and pulled infantry off island to mainland Australia.
France will move DD to India sz, inf to French east Africa if able or Nigeria if not, Syria if alive moves to Trans Jordan if able. Algeria will be done after Italy if they give me a combat option, else they stay there. London forces stay put.
You can post Germany as France is not likely to affect them. Or you can wait, your choice. I spelled out my France turn above.
I will be gone for the evening, and work in the Morning, I’ll post USSR and France in the morning if I have time, after tomorrow I am on vacation for the week.

After action report:
Based on in game experiences: The decision to declare war was made! This gives me time (I hope) to reinforce before Japan can deliver a killing blow.
By blocking (with expensive ships) I hope to maintain 14 IPCs with Anzac and 13 with India.
UK as you can see, is trying to buy time in the Middle East they will also reinforce the Pacific fleet with an additional carrier giving Japan two fleets to respond to if they choose.I may lose a capital in the Pacific, but it remains to be seen if I can recover a VC in mainland Asia.
Japan has lots of options.
Germany will be fun to see. -
The odds in Yunnan if only China and Russia held it I think were very much in my favor. I only expected to lose a few planes to wipe out most of the opposition in China. A couple factories built and I’d have a fairly clear march to Moscow. Can’t go up against that mess though. We’ll see what is to be done there. DOW was the right choice I think.

I must admit to very good luck in Asia:
1st the Second battle of Yunnan in the year of the Badger where I hit 3/4 and now taking my hit in Hopei instead of Suiyuyan helping to protect my tanks. This has been a best case scenario in Asia except for the Amur massacre.Collect 28 IPCs and digging in.
3rd battle of Yunnan: Order of loss shall be, if needed: Chinese Infantry, then Anzac infantry, then India Infantry, India artillery, then Chinese artillery, then Russian Mech, then anzac fighter, then USSR tac, then UK tac, then USSR fighter, then UK fighter, then Chinese fighter.
Air raid over water: Order of loss in Indian ocean: first 3 hits on Carriers/BB, then post for my reply: Based on hits you get!
Exciting game!
Thanks for playing.Will post if able this evening, I have online college classwork to do when I get home. Off Sunday through next Sunday and Monday for vacation, I’ll be able to post a lot this week.
