15L G40 Pherman1215 (Allies + 19) vs AlexGreat

well I guess the Moscow battle will shape the game. My last one there was a disaster, losing much more than average. Hope this one keeps close to average forecast. The cauc stack is tempting, but somehow delay seems dangerous. I was not sure if youd reinforce with UK air.

having my last game and my two dry-runs (one clear win, one total disaster with only air remaining) in mind, I am far from wanting to risk anything :)

I play AA for some time, but things like that never cease to depress me, huge (and therefore unpredicatble) battle notwithstanding. You lost both bombers, admittedly, in your attempt to take away two inf from the attack.

I non-combat moved my DD in combat phase before I decided on the bombing of the harbour…this is why one really shouldnt move in combat phase when not attacking… in any case, should I have failed with the bombing I would have moved the DD there. Its murky, but no harm done. No problem if you insist on me having to face the consequence of early moving!

Can you pls let me know the sequence of events in Asia, I cant access my dice email.

You attacked Shan with the British, how many Japanese hits?
You attacked sz 37 with Anzac DD, and my sub as well as the DD hit?
You attacked Mal and none of my units hit?

Thx!

ah apologies, the UK results are clear anyway, just ANZAC pls.
