Boy, what should I do against that Japan?

You are invincible when attacking. When attacking, you literally lost 2 ground in Hunnan J1 and THAT’S IT! Zero losses after round 1.
And now you kill 5 Chinese, with your 3 stupid guys, of course your DD hits and of course your sub scores 3 convoy damage.

Boy, this is really getting out of balance man :-/

Time for a break please. Could you PLEASE return to 111 and Morocco-mode? I need to feel again how a defense hit looks like.

Please note: It seems that Japan can add another 3 IPC? We play BM3 including the Iwo/oki NO, right?

Seems so to me? I am playing BM3 for the first time and as far as I know, Japan is getting an NO for Iwo and Oki and being at war with Japan. Correct?
I just like you to confirm. If you do, you can add 3 IPC to Japan. (and from now every time you fulfill the requirements for the NO)

“Japan is getting an NO for Iwo and Oki and being at war with Japan”

at war with US of course:D

Seriously, the dice of this game now officially SUCK.

It feels just unfair what happened after G1.

Since the Morocco battle I have 0/19@2 on the ground plus 0/3 AA.

That could make a notable negative streak in my track record.

If you don’t forget about all the dice that have happened in this game so far, you may be in a death spiral.  If you can forget about them and get back to a positive mindset, vonAlba will definitely have his hands full

I scored a hit, hooray :-o :-D

Reminder to edit your Japanese IPC.

Not sure if you answered my questions yet:

We are playing BM3?
You are aware of the Iwo/oki NO and Japan should be eligible to receive it?

If both answers are yes, you can add 3 IPC and I am afraid need to manually add them whenever you qualify for the NO again.

The Iwo/Oki NO is only 3?  Not 5?

Yep, both, the forum and the client account for 3 IPC.

"Japan

*  5 PUs if Axis controls Dutch New Guinea, New Guinea, New Britain and Solomon Islands. (This modifies Japan’s “Strategic Perimeter” objective).
*  5 PUs if Axis controls Midway, Wake Island, Guam.
*      3 PUs if Japan controls Iwo Jima and Okinawa and is at war with the USA"
