UK Pac beat the odds in Yun, but chose to retreat from battle with 2 tanks and 2 planes vs only 1 Jpn tank left.  Probably should have taken Yun, to prevent Jpn mech and planes from reaching and destroying Burma or bombing India.  USA gained 2 big N.O.'s and terr.

Bri replaced the 2 figs that went to Gib, plus added another and a sub.  The U.S. added 2 dd and a sub.  Not enough to guarantee survival, but I didn’t want to use up a dd every turn to block the Ger navy.  I could have not moved Bri figs to Gib and then could have bought more ships instead of replacement figs.  Maybe Ger will find a better use for the bombers in St Pete.

Oops, I just realized that 2 figs from St Pete can join the battle by landing on the cv.  If you use every available plane from St Pete, you will definitely win.

My reference to LL in Mos was Ger T9 when 8 Rus inf inflicted 4 hits vs LL of 3.  The Rus counterattack definitely was lucky dice for me.

No scramble.  You were able to use planes that could only land cv’s that were being built this turn.  You did that to me last game and I didn’t think of it here.  Roll 1st round

OOL all the US and Bri dd’s subs and sink the cv’s makes 11.
