War has been declared

Japan agreed to a 1 turn truce in Persia and removed its troop from Sikang.  But I forgot to do the move before I posted, so I edited and saved.  S.A., you can either use my saved game from this post, or make the edit again in the J16 posted turn.

Karma got even with me.  Last turn, my 2 ground troops in W. Aust gave 2 hits to ANZ, causing him to lose a ftr; and now the 2 ground troops in Rhodesia gave 2 hits and I only had 1 ground unit, so I also had to take a ftr.  I didn’t have the numbers to take out Persia.  When I redid the bat calc before my move, I realized that I had swapped sides and my 2 AA guns were included in my prior attackers calc (assume only as taking hits).  Just a few units more or less on either side in Persia made a big difference.

Yeah, I pm’d Gargantua this morning saying that I think you had miscalculated something, because you only had a slight chance to take it.

I must have also excluded the American troops in my original calc. 
S.A.:  the NCM edit is Jpn inf Sikang> Shensi (I didn’t specify the destination in my prior post).

I love t when peaceful negotiation succeeds! Looks my job in Persia may be done!

Looks like may be peace in Africa also, as there are no ground troops, except the token, peaceful Soviet mech.

Peaceful coexistence indeed!

Lol!

Italy had 15 turns to declare war and didn’t! And then had the dice to blown away the Russian offensive into Romania!

16 turns deep into an epic game!

Don’t worry Dawg, we’re sharpening our Banzai swords waiting for more favorable odds and shifting our focus constantly, to keep the blue eyed devils, well excluding our German allies of course, off guard.  Who knows, we may send mini subs up the Hudson River or the St Lawrence Seaway and pay you a visit. 😀.

The Japanese submarine control of the Southern Hemisphere does keep my allies up at night…

As it should.  We’ll be silently sneaking up the Thames someday.  Watch out, was that a periscope I just saw sticking up from the water.  Just to clarify, we are sharpening our Banzai swords but trimming and shaping Bonsai shrubs and trees.

Ha!  Brits turn to be hit by AA in the Indian Theatre.  The Americans continued the peace trend but Brit broke the peace with the bombing raid and a suicide sub attack off of India and paid the price.  My peaceful tt was just taking troops on R&R cruises to Ceylon.  And Brit continues the arms race in the middle east.

Yes, the Brits paid the price.

The Brits are just trying to maintain the peace.  The Japanese want to invade the entire world, except for Russia of course.  The own China, good chunk of the Pacific, India, trying to invade the Middle East, and heck even have some Japanese African territories!!!

Russian Brits were enjoying too much Vodka and almost forgot to move!
