@Shin:

Mongolia found an alien cache, eh?  Better step lightly around them I suppose.

Damn, that was some rolling!

I wouldn’t have minded to lose a plain or two to kill that fleet. Even then it would have been worth it. Not losing any planes at all is just gravy. I am kinda wondering how you plan on turning it around. I think the fact the uk pacific has less means to defend itself makes for a better game at this point, but it will still be hard to win as Japan I think. Also those fighter chits the Chinese still have, will make it hard for you to take India.

As for the Mongolians. They have been saving for a rainy day.
