Shame your DD hit. Was feeling lucky.

PP:  The U.S. tt did not get edited to sz10.  I will do it on my turn, which may not be today.  Looks like a coordinated move on the Brits in Siberia.  It will take a massive allied effort to squeeze Japan any further.  ANZ was lucky that it’s DD took out the Jpn bomber as it sank, thus saving the tt.  Ger has been managing to send lots of mech into Persia.

PP: Scramble 3 Ital/Ger ftrs in Italy to SZ97 for 4 U.S. bombers and a ftr attacking DD?
Witt:  Intercept 4 U.S. bombers bombing Japan with your 3 ftrs?

This is the second time in a row that the U.S. tried to bomb the Japanese naval base with a single bomber, but was hit by AA fire.  The 3 bombers against the IC weren’t hit, but inflicted only 11 damage.  So, once again, I lost more TUV than I inflicted in damage.  PP: based on prior history and your non response, I didn’t scramble the Italy based ftrs to defend the Italian dd and tt against superior numbers.

He will be fine with it

Brit again shot fewer Ger reinforcements in N. Persia than LL  But your supply of AA is declining steadily.

China has the 4th largest # of units, none of them ICs or bases.  Ger, Brit/ANZ, U.S., China, Japan, Italy, ANZ.  If they were ever released from their boundary restrictions, they would overrun Ger occupied Rus and Korea and Siberia.  China has the lowest TUV, but very close behind ANZ and Italy.

Didn’t attack IC, just naval and airbases.  If you can’t take Italian turn.  Tell Witt what you want.  We can put the game on hold if the two of you decide.  Otherwise, I am ready to rumble, or outmaneuver your outmaneuvering.

I would rather not , thank you. Habe no idea what your plan was amd are too many units crammed into a small space for my poor eyes . Sorry!

No hay problemo.  The hotspot is indeed loaded with some many icons stretching across the territories, that it’s bloody well hard to see.  Besides, when my master stroke cuts down the Germans, I don’t want Witt to be blamed.  See you in a fortnight.

Thanks for understanding.

I’ve been rolling amazing dice in my other team game and another pbem game, but I can’t seem to get a break in this game.  Air attack on 4 ground troops in N.Persia and they give 3 hits instead of 1 1/3 average.  But it stops the flow of ground troops to the Ger front line.
