@farmboy:

because of the server issues I sent your dice email a copy of the game file.

sure. you shud have my latest turn now

@farmboy:

I saw. Just mulling the soon to be loss of Gibraltar

game changer, imo

the gib strat you employed hinges on seeing gib all the way thru. if at any point it is lost, it invalidates everything you’ve been working for. while losing w.india is a big deal, I don’t think it is enough to compensate for the loss of gib. but I could be wrong! let’s see what happens.

@farmboy:

I think you are right.I had been fairly confident that I would have enough air in range to reinforce it over at least one more turn. Should have checked that more carefully.

normally, yes. but you had to send most everything over to get w.india, which meant, I could send most everything over to get gib. it was a trade.

@farmboy:

I was rather pleased with my Japan set up there. I thought I had likely forced you out of W India without letting you make too much of an immediate inroad in the pacific. But I expected you to keep spending on that rather than on the Atlantic.

yah, spending more in the pac doesn’t buy me anything immediate or short to mid term. it would’ve allowed you to make gains on mainland without much loss in the pac. that’s why I figured, if you’re going to go heavy on threatening the Middle East, I can go heavy on retaking gib. I can get more bang for my buck by gaining gib. opens everything up.

take out 2 dd, 2 cv, 1 anz fig

2 anz 1 US fig, and injure cv

ok just go max defense from here

I should’ve been more careful with my fleet at sz7, but overall, the result isn’t the end of the world. you did after all lose some precious air as well.

FINALLY I have gib back! man, it feels like I just liberated france, lol
