Feel fee toattackit here on the forum, if you know how . I can’t!
Bastard took back Alaska; was going yo put both Fts there, but them would have had to make a Carrier in SZ6 next turn to return them to Japan. I thought my ultra ego would have called me special, for so doing.

Alaska was never more than a distraction for US.

Attacking US soil is mostly just pointless. Now calculate how much you spend and how much US lost because of Alaska.
As much as I like the idea of invading the “Homeland”, I think in the end the joke is on Japan, unfortunately.

Well, well. I think that is wrongly thought, Elrood. And I should have gone with the  second Ft, as I had planned. It is all about perception and the US failing to make 70, is an awful situation.

The war is never ever won in america!  8-)

Then Mark and I launch our irresistible counter-attack and free the peoples of the world from you warmongering fascists.  :roll:

The Teutonic Knights of old, have fallen asleep in front of the gates of that cesspit you call your Capital.

Why did you not take Borneo, for your Infantry starved ally? You two fallen out? Is everyone for himself, is it?

Why did you not take Borneo, for your Infantry starved ally? You two fallen out? Is everyone for himself, is it?

Because J can retake Borneo before the UK’s turn, so the Allies should pocket the ipcs while they can. Unless J has no TTs? Perhaps I missed that?

Well. why taking a “good chance” battle on Moscow when I can take an (almost) certain shot to end the game?
