Cow vs Boldfresh League G40 2E

There are a series of different paths I can take with Japan. I am juggling between four different ideas right now.

Usually I avoid big engagements with Japan until Germany rolls dice on Russia. With China out of the picture other plans are more feasible. I have to time everything. Usually I would just take back Java and shove stuff into India to make it hold. Place a destroyer off India as a blocker.

I am considering something else.

I will explain it after the game.

As far as carolines goes. That is a stupid attack. 1) no transports 2) I would be  attacking with more expensive units 3) only a portion of my air makes it instead of the full might of Japan 4) I cannot take carolines at good odds 5) I have no incentive to attack.

I am going to go back to sleep. I will probably post this later. I have to do my other games real quick.

So yeah I will just throw stuff at you and hope for the best. I really like the industrial bombing run I just had.
