Shadow:

I couldn’t figure out how to make the sub combat not happen, and I forgot to move a plane into Kwangtung for the attack, which I noticed when I clicked the attack.  I redid the combat moves to fix those two things, then executed.

My first bombing was 14 damage, but in the new game it was (8?) - the game automatically does that, but in case you were curious.  I think I owe you a dead infantryman in Kwangtung too.  I tried to edit the plane into the combat, but that didn’t work; the combat started and I lost two infantry and only killed one - when I fixed my moves, I only ended up losing one.  You can edit out one of my infantry there - I defer to your judgment.

The rest went surprisingly well, but…as in the first game, Japan is out of steam, Malaya has an 86% chance of losing in the counterattack, then I have no land forces to speak of, so…not sure what else to do there.  At least I didn’t leave 4 unprotected transports this time.

My J2 is done- I posted it before my last note to you if you hadn’t seen it yet.

No problem!  Just wanted to make sure you saw it.

What caused America and China to get posted twice?

Just got home, I’ll do my turn now if its my turn.

I2 complete and posted.

Nice rolls last turn - I took a beating, especially in Asia.

I really wanted to throw my Italian fleet and airforce at your UK fleet in the Med to try clearing the Med for my +5 IPCs, but 55% to win is risky and assuming it leaves me without a Navy, you could move in from Gibraltar and blockade me and I wouldn’t be able to stop it, so I wouldn’t really be getting anything out of it.  But I seriously thought about it.

I ended up taking Syria, because the Luftwaffe can get down there with a 98% win chance, then land in Syria, and head back up to the Russian front (or clear the middle east) the following turn.  I was supposed to be using my transports to get my troops out of Africa, but you blocked that, so I want to get something out of them.

Well, you had reserve navies, and that giant carrier mess that I didn’t want anything to do with.  Let me knock out my turn. =D

There are my G3 combat moves.

I understand scramble order requests - I don’t know if that usually happens for submerge orders?

I’m attacking your subs in 125 and 114, but have no destroyers, so I assume you’re just submerging instead of defending with a 1, but figured I should ask.

I’m not sure if I get a free shot with my subs before your subs submerge or not; I’m assuming so, which is why my sub is attacking your sub.

Well, I rolled out SZ125 and got a hit on your sub, which I had ordered to submerge, and your sub is still there, so I’m guessing that’s now how sub combat works.

The air force battle scared me, but it went surprisingly well - my western front rolled as well as your eastern defense (or counterattack) -

So Germany is rising and Japan is flailing - which I haven’t seen in any of my games yet; Germany and Italy usually do whatever while Japan goes and gets its 6 VCs and ends the game.

@ShadowHAwk:

Geez im beginning to hate the internal dice roller.
Only 2 hits with my fleet in the med is just insane really.

You would expect 3-4 hits the first round alone.

I offered to switch - Colt showed me how to register for the MIDAS thingy.

You should have gotten a bunch of MARTI emails to go along with that J3.

It went better than I was hoping - no lucky one-off defense rolls against Japan except the expected casualty in Yunnan.  As always, I’m curious to know what you would have done differently and why to help me learn.  :)

@ShadowHAwk:

And why did you not attack manchuria iso the russian zone above it?
Its worth 3 iso just 1.

Well, I figured I should start the march west with Japan, so wanted to make landfall up there, and if I took Manchuria, you’d take it back and I’d be down another infantry or two - and my Japan planes couldn’t reach Manchuria and make it home, where I was trying to leave three planes in scramble range.
