@Daaras Well, I can’t see how I can get that one city in Europe. Seems impossible, and Japan is too weak to use the American all-in investment in Atlantic.

London is just too well defended with those American planes, 5 carriers don’t make life any easier, even with German at 112… It’s just too difficult trying to survive with Japan :)

Let me sleep over it, it could be time to throw in the towel.

@mikawagunichi Well, that should do it. I can’t take another 100 TUV loss, and the Middle East is toast. GG
