Back to ya. Some interesting moves. I now realize how well positioned the Philippines are as Japan’s navy and airforce can reach everything. UK got some good rolls in Asian threatre but bad ones in the European threatre. Guess it sort of balanced out.

Turn Complete - French

Well I realized that Italy’s NO for controlling the Med only checks for surface ships (not all ‘ships’) as I thought putting the sub in SZ92 would block it. TripleA’s description is pretty vague but the official rule book does state surface warships :/

Probably would have played things it bit differently but live and learn.

Yeah unit placement in Gibraltar is awful looking though not sure there’s a good solution to that.

Its funny cause I think the place where I wish I’d played things differently the most is around Italy/Med (at least so far). Though I guess the bright spots in the area for the Allies are Egypt and Gibraltar.
