Wheatbeer (axis) v axisplaya (allies +8)

The Axis get a decent income boost this turn, though I am not sure it’s enough.

No problem about the delay, everyone has real lives  :-)

I think this game is tied at best for Axis, just because those 11 strategic bombers can guard 4 of your VCs on a moment’s notice and also stop me from making many moves I might otherwise.

–-------

Japan repaired Malaysia’s mIC, bought 5 inf, 2 mech, 1 art, 3 fig (0 remainder)

I attacked Burma with 1 mech and some planes, cleared not taken.
I took Anhwe with 7 inf, 4 art (no loss)
and took Shen., Sik., and Sze. as walk ins.

Japan also sent 5 strategic bombers to Moscow.  Do you want to intercept with your 3 fighters or no?

I haven’t worked out all of Japan’s turn yet, but I will be sending 4 strats to bomber Moscow again.  Let me know if you want to intercept.

I’m impatient, and since you intercepted against 5 bombers, I assume you’d do the same against 4.

You ended up shooting down 2 strats in exchange for losing 1 fighter in the dogfight.

If you wouldn’t have intercepted this time, we can fix it via rolling in forum and EDIT.
