Germany’s Turn!

I find it a little hard to believe the luck your lone German defenders are getting on these territory-trading battles. Virtually every battle is at least one hit. That last one in Egypt was particularly frustrating: one lone armor takes out a Russian infantry and an armor in two rounds and survives unharmed.

It will be hard enough to beat your superior play without the dice-gods interfering on your behalf!  :-D

Japan’s Turn!

By the way: had to use edit mode to noncombat the Caucasus Bombers back out of Congo. Theoretically they had used four movement to get there from Caucasus (Persia, SZ 34, Italian East Africa, Congo), but the program wouldn’t let me move them at all after combat. I used edit mode to place the two bombers in South Africa (two squares away), the intended destination!

P.S. Ever notice Rhodesia is labeled Kenya in Triple A? Not sure if that is part of the problem or what. I had tried to combat move a fighter from SZ 12 into Congo from the other side of Africa, and it wouldn’t let me, even though I had the carrier in SZ 28 that could move up for it to land on. Another bug I noticed playing the computer is that they won’t let you move sea units between SZ 30 and 32.
