That felt good :)

In SZ37 for the second round of Japanese casualties I took the battleships over the fighters as I felt given you were only going to have three units left after that round you’d have preferred to maximise air. If you would rather swap them back then please do (i.e. remove two fighters from Malaya and add in two damaged battleships to SZ37). Also you may have preferred to retreat to Siam, but I thought you’d rather team up with some fodder in Malaya!).

That feels like a good turn for the Yanks.

Your best round, Cred. Well done.

did you add Fighters from Queensland and Iraq?

Witt

No. Did I miss that they could reach?
My first mistake, not that I would have been in this situation if we had not DW on one. (Sour grapes, I know.)

Or maybe Germany left Japan hanging there too long due to late Euro-DoW?! :wink:

You had a good turn there Mark. Well done. :-o

I expected to lose off Malaya, but not so badly. My counter attack potential was supposed to either frighten you off or bring me out on top at the end, but you did much better than expected, so we’ll see. :cry:

I await the Anzac follow-up in trepidation. :-(

Always happy to accept that witt lost the game Elrood! :wink:

Ahh - I think I missed those too :oops:

Leo tells me that Seb says J1 works, allowing India to be captured J4?

I am not sure what the moves are, but does R units shoring up China get in the way? If not, then I did not see the possibility that I had. Is there a game on the Board I could look at?

I am drawn towards J1 and G1, or at least J2 and G2. The key being that they are co-ordinated. That would need a change of approach for G - strafe Yugo and retreat to the R front; strafe the Scottish sz and retreat when the UK BB is damaged; keep the G air force intact; no G fleet purchases; etc.

The sooner the axis are able to grab allied ipcs the better, even if that costs a few extra NOs in the short term. I guess I’ll be trying this until experience tells me that I am wrong!

Sorry not done France but that is a formality these days anyway….

Elrood

a small anecdote… a decade ago in Australia I met an Englishman (Peter) and an Australian (Frank) who were fast friends. Both about 50 to 55 and working on a farm to earn some extra money.

We had a lot of silly discussion like:
Englishman: “Sebastian, did you know that Frank used to be a child doctor?”
I said: “Oh? I didn’t know! Why are you not doing that anymore?”
Australian: “Well, you never see happy Childen, that is why I had to stop and do something else.”
I said: “Wow… that is sad and a rather unsettling thought”
awkward pause
Englishman: “nah, we are just pulling your leg. He never was a doctor. I just made that up.”
general laughter ;-)

We spoke about some nations and politics as well. And the Australian once said:
“If I had control of nukes, I would nuke France, just like that.”
I asked: “Why the French??”
He answered: “Because they never won a bloody war!”
:-D

Good times, albeit not always politically correct.
