One problem with dubbing your strat the DEATHSTAR, Bold
The Death Star got blowed up…. twice. :wink:
You sure got Cow’s fleet sucked in with the tractor beam, though!
Now the question is…… will his fleet hurt your space station as much as the passengers on the Falcon?
DOES COW HAVE ANY LUKE SKYWALKER IN HIM?
COW…… USE THE FORCE
Pyrrhic victory in Yunnan…
I guess the alternative would have been preferable to you? Monster stack in Yunnan, having to try to defend Kwangsi from that stack, the Kweichow stack having to withdraw to Anhwe (making it obsolete for 2 rounds minimum), not being able to hold FIC, not being able to hold Malaya, letting the UK planes run around the board for the next 10 rounds….
I guess you would have stacked Hunan and abandoned Kwangsi? Or just stacked Kwangsi and moves the Kwe forces to Anhwe, taken the money islands, throw away a couple tnps and hunker down…
It’s a clear victory because it was the best choice and the dice did not make it a disaster. China gets no NO and no artillery. Sets back the Allies in China a couple rounds. But, if US goes all out at Japan, Japan will lose everytime, just a matter of time.
I did not say it wasn’t the good choice. Japan has the most pressure on it that I have seen and there was a late declaration of war on top of that.
The Allies aggressiveness forced Japan to make this choice, which resulted in attrition (good for the allies).
Gamerman is perfectly right that casualties inflicted to planes / mobile units will help on the Europe map.
