War has been declared

@FMErwinRommel:

Another good turn for Japan.  Bombed Indian bases without loss, China completely conquered and I suspect that the Americans will bring a major part of their fleet back from Australia to protect Hawaii.  Japan doesn’t like sending unprotected tt’s on suicide missions to capture islands that can be lost again next turn.  I was satisfied to take out the cr and tt by the Celebes.

If you are going to be recording dice stats - make sure to include these ones that you seem to have forgotten… 8-)

SA and I were on the phone and I lost reception driving through the mountains and we weren’t able to finish our coordination conversation.  Made a few edits to US non-com movements.

There appears to be an edit error in North Africa!  I think you meant to only edit 1 inf back to algeria, not 2+mech.!!

And US transports in the MED have also vanished!!!

I have conferred with my illustrious allies to assist them in clearing up a series of misunderstandings, miscommunications, and misplacements of units (some that were IMPOSSIBLE).

Please use the attached CORRECTED file.

All these secret requested edits.  Is this a conspiracy?  Or are the Allies actually coordinating or consulting after the fact?  The American CV to sz34 will lead to  an ANZ attack with 3 percent chance, bring it on.

The Princess Bride is a classic movie, one of my favorites.

@FMErwinRommel:

The Princess Bride is a classic movie, one of my favorites.

Using ANZAC fighters on an  American carrier,  and American destroyers to clear path  Is also a classic way to pick off  defenceless transports …

It’s not a 3% battle… it’s 3 100%  battles . :)

It’s one of surprise Attacks favourites… lol

Rommel, you need to meet Gargantua.  He actually sort of looks like the pic!!

Bad news for the Allies.  We lose an American carrier and 2 American planes.  The American fleet deserted the Aussies!!  On their way out though they managed to take out 4 Japanese transports!!
