War has been declared

S.A.  submerge subs again in Midway and Wake Island sz’s?  Jpn attacking each with 2 bombers and 1 sub.

Amphib attack on U.S. bomber in new Austr air base was impulsive.  Figured if ANZ wanted to spend last turn’s cash on an airbase there, that it must be important enough for me to delay its use.  The cost to me will hopefully be offset by destroying a bomber and doing some damage in the counterattack.  The outlook for the Axis has gotten more ominous.

An act of perspiration and desperation!

Hardly, without the atomic bomb, it will take the allies a good while to take me down.  After all, I have the kamikaze.  Now that would be an act of desperation.  I’ve never used them before.  Now if Germany can just hold out long enough to send me those super weapons.  And if the Italians would start working on that exploding pasta bomb.  Oops, I just gave away state secrets.

Pasta Bomb?

What a saucy secret!

Don’t worry.  ANZAC doesn’t know what the hell it’s doing.  They are just buying random stuff!!

Now you tell me, the doomed tt and crew have already left port.

Took out 3 dd’s, a tt, a bomber and an inf with no losses.  The Japanese advance had stalled at W. india because Brit army could counterattack until I could outbuild and reinforce more than Brit could.  Last turn, I didn’t bother battle calc, but should have, as I had 72% chance of repulsing a counterattack.  Could have advanced at same time as Africa invasion.  Next stop Persia, then Iraq, then on to Egypt.  I turned off email notifications on my cell because of all the endless mail from sites we subscribes to, so was slow in seeing S.A.'s response.

Forgot to NCM a bomber.  One bomber from Japan did not participate in combat because it was to fly to Burma.  I realize that this request is after you took your turns, so I don’t have the right to ask, but would D.A. and S.A. allow edit of Japan to NCM bomber from Japan to Burma?

I doubt my allies will have an issue.  I’ll try to edit it on Russia’s turn if I get the chance.
