I can really see your experience coming out in our game. You switched your purchases to the European theater at exactly the right time. If you had waited even one more round to place in the Atlantic with the USA, I think Italy and Germany would have had enough of a leg up that it would have almost been a foregone conclusion that Russia would fall. As it stands, even without placing units in the Pacific, you will still be thwarting me for a few rounds at a minimum. Man, you are good.

Actually, i think i panicked a bit too much in the early game. I didn’t have to spend that much in the pacific, and i should have threaten to come at Gibraltar 1 round sooner. After all, winning in the pacific is not so easy. You would sure have a better position than now, but i would have diverted your spending in europe 1 round sooner, and that would be a big relief for the russian.
So, you are right to say that i switched my purchase at the right time, but i would add : at the right time to save the game (or maybe just delay the fall of Moscou). But that’s still too late for someone (like me :-D)who likes to be in control of his game…
It’s gonna be 100% europe spending for a while now.
In the pacific, my fleet has the kind of proportion that i like to go all in against the Japanese fleet (lots of fodders).Russian turn tomorrow.

Well, I have no idea if this is the “right” move or not. It sure doesn’t feel like it knowing what I am going to do, but, at least it buys me another round against your fleet even if I am just “treading water”.

Their sacrifice will be remembered as they may have bought one more turn for India !:-D

Well, at that rate, I’ll never conquer China. Also, dang it, I won’t have an attack on your remaining China stack. :|

62 territory + 5 ipc + 1 saved - 2 CRD = 66 ipcIn some of our earlier discussions you were wondering why I didn’t conquer China yet, well I point to the bloody battles you keep inflicting on me!!! :-D Since I am away from Japan and I have limited unit placement, you are slaughtering my ground units which is crimping my style in the Pacific. That original J1 Phi battle along with the Sum and Kwe battle this round is keeping me whittled down pretty good. Combine that with my Italian attack on Sfa and my attempted strategic bombing raid on Moscow and you are doing a good job of making this guy a pretty gun shy player for the remainder of this game. :-)
Well good friend, I await the Allied response.

Ugh! Yeah, and just getting to the point of clearing and holding Yunnan was no walk in the park for me in this game either. I’ll be drinking a cold frosty one once I send the final Chinese unit six feet under in this game! :lol: :lol: :lol:
