Sorry, didn’t have a chance to do this today and won’t have access for the weekend. Sorry for the delay.

I think I’m in a fair bit of trouble anyway…

Round: 6

Purchase Units - Americans
            EDIT: Removing units owned by Japanese from Japan: 2 fighters
            EDIT: Changing PUs for Japanese from 52 to 54
            EDIT: Turning off Edit Mode

ok, so there are 2 save files above. The first is my turn without any edits in case you don’t agree with my edits.

The 2nd is with an edit that I think is fine because it’s an obvious mistake that can easily be added back in. The mistake being that I forgot to move my inf and mech off the transports to attack the phillipines. I ended up winning the battle in 1 round with my air. So my edits are as follows:
-Added a fighter back in because I would have taken an inf as my loss.
-Deleted inf.
-Added mech to phil.
-Moved 2 fighters from Japan to phil because I couldn’t do it in ncb because I didn’t own territory.
-Added 2 PU to japan total.

Use whichever file you deem suitable.

Oops!
If they can be landed on the carriers then do that (although I think I might be at capacity already). Otherwise I’ll just leave them in Japan.

Nice convoy damage :P

Well, there’s no point delaying the inevitable. Are you happy to call this a game or would you like to keep going?

Yeah.

If I was to do a very short summary I would say that I over extended myself with Germany which caused Italy to suffer as well when they tried to help out. That theatre has been lost for quite some time.

And I was out played tactically with Japan. The occasions where I forgot certain moves with Japan didn’t help, but when the US started taking back islands whilst China was still a formidable force I knew I was in trouble.
