@wittmann:

Just saw the AA got two Bombers. Sorry about that.
Thought I was going to build at Volgorod

Thanks. I was a bit shocked for sure. I expected one loss, but two losses is what makes me hate the high luck level on SBRs…  :-(

But I think the Indian crush made quite up for it. Japan is really the powerhouse now. Man… that battle went way above average! Sorry for that… didnt even loose a single Aircraft to AA…  :oops:

Well…Italy is now on the defense. Good bye Gibraltar. You were a sweet thorn in the allies back for the last 4 turns…  :cry:

Yeah its kinda crazy that Italy so long held off both UK and US advances (with help of Germany of course). Really helped out a lot

Yeah… Chances on the Fleet were 76% actually (If italy killed that DD in SZ104)… but it probbly would have cost me a lot… if dice went bad… So I opted against it.

Essentially… sinking the fleet would have been great, yes, but if I had anything worse than a bad victory (like 1 or 2 planes left) then I would have been in trouble I think… so the Risk outweighed the potential Gain in my opinion.

So I let you have Gibraltar and focus now on the next line of defense “Fortress Europe”. Lets see how this works out.

Hi. I edited 2 Italian planes back to Gibraltar… I just realized with some atlantic blockers I can hold a round longer than I thought.  :-P

Could I ask if you would post every “end of turn”(US, China etc.), but to save disk space you can uncheck “Include SaveGame”.

That way it would be clearer for me what allies are doing and I could start to plan by reading the forum on my smart phone.

I would really appreciate it!  :-)

Don’t worry, its no real inconvenience, but have it would sure be convenient for me! :-)

Have fun! I know I will have with Jap5 after you’re done…  :-P  :lol:

Round: 6

Purchase Units - Americans

Argh. klicked one time to much.

Also… I added +10 IPCs to USAs stash at the end of my turn.

Yeah… Japan took:
Java, West India, Shan state, Szechwan and Iraq! (thus decreasing Russian income by 5…)

3 (mech) Inf each build in India, FIC and Kiangsu and Japan is retreated towards Kiangsu Factory, so letting China/Russian Stack roam some more.

The 2 Carrier fleet from India is now at Java and the 4 carrier fleet is at Caroline.

Income was 75 IPCs.
