I’m utterly disgusted with my troops performance! :x Not a scratch on the japs!
I think you are incorrect regarding AC absorbing hits. Only battleships get to take 2 hits. Didn’t change the outcome of these battles, though.
If you could let me chime in with a SUB submerge instead that would be good next time. Hawaii was a losing battle by the odds, could have foregone the surprise strike and saved the silent service.
I do have another FTR in GBr, I bought 2 during UK1.
I’ll post US1 after some thinking. The Pacific war is disturbing… :cry:

Check out the ‘toolbar’ at the bottom, we can record turns (1st row) and IPC there (2nd row), and capitals possession (last row). I have no idea what the 3rd row is…

Forgot to attach.
Do you still need me to send these posts+file to your email?
-
well only during the week (monday-thursday)

I’m very sorry about the Sub in Hawaii… I completely forgot I didn’t have a Destroyer. you can keep it if you want- my mistake, your benefit :) And for AC, you’re right. I’ve been playing Europe and Global, so I’m a bit fuzzy on the rules for 1942 :|
Yes, I was pleasantly surprised with my J1. Russia will be the crucial turn to see whether my luck goes south… we’ll see!
-
It’s ok about the sub, honest mistake. I won’t take it back…me having a sub might have changed your mind about buying a Japanese sub and instead a destroyer. Too many what-ifs.
Yes R2 is going to be interesting. I hate these huge battles personally…more a fan of small tactical skirmishes.
-
I assume you placed the last fighter you bought (3) on WUS as well? You only placed 2
-
That’s why I like Global…or at least Europe or Pacific. There’s more room to maneuver and act tactically…not as many choke points
-
Yes I left out the new fighter. In WUS now.

Wow, that’s insane- talk about bad dice!
I should have seen a blitz possibility; that was dumb of me.
I’ll see if I can get to G2 tonight- I’m really busy, but I’ll try. -
Yeah, the East Europe “weakness” with a juicy bomber target was the reason i launched the UK amphi assault on Karelia, to soften the way for a russian blitz, but now all for naught…
-
Well I commend your strategy regardless- I wouldn’t have thought of that.
