G40 BM2  Rommel X vs Colt L "Third times a charm"

  • '20

    I wouldn’t have bombed those minors. I’m not sure why you did.

  • 2025 2024 '23 '22 '21 '20 '19

    I should have bombed them earlier.  Thought that you still might try to build there.  You might have built in Novg to prevent Ger from blitz into Karelia.  But Ger built the tt to allow an amphib landing in Kar.  I’ve been agonizing over whether Japan should try a low odds attack on Java or just sink the dd & tt.  Here’s where you make up for the loss of your BB.  It’s doubtful I can regain it this turn.  So ANZAC gets 4 PU and Japan loses 9 including the loss of a N.O.  Makes it worth a suicide attack by Japan.

    Woo hoo!  Didn’t take any hits in any battle.  Even took Java with 1 marine & air against 2 land defenders.  So no defenseless tt for you to attack.  One land unit attacks in Yun and Shan with air support succeeded against single defenders.

    “JAPANESE INVADE ALASKA”  Citizens flee on dog sleds.  Sparse military units in continental USA caught off guard.  All units in lower 48 states are ordered to retake Alaska.

    That Alaska thing is a thorn in my side, but yeah, this is why I threw away the BB. I know how important TTs are to Jpn, although this marine thing makes it slightly less so. My Yunnan stack might or might not pan out but your lack of TTs at least gave me the option to do so.
