Right before going into those battles, I said to myself: if that Carrier gets a hit round 1, I should just retreat, and of course, I didn’t.

@miamiumike:

Right now, I am winging it, and that usually does not mean its a winning idea…

MM

Italy can still be blocked from collecting NOs on I2, so you seem to be doing fine so far.  Having to replace lost air is certainly going to slow down my German plans a little.

@miamiumike:

Obviously without an IC in Egypt - all I can do right now is try to slow down Italy as much as I can for as long as I can…

Nobody is stopping you from making that IC… heh, heh.

@miamiumike:

That roll for Italy may have been the end of the game I am afraid…

That was pretty sweet, but hardly game-ending, especially if I fail to take India.  I realized too late that I should have left a Japanese DD behind to block any US shenanigans, dealing with that is going to be a major annoyance.

Ah… and I will fail to get India since I missed one avenue where you could block shipping over fodder units.
