Nuts, Ger should have blitzed into Smol and returned to Bel. When ANZ attacked Borneo and missed several rounds, would have been a great chance for Jpn to roll well and win. Again. when Rus attacked Ros and missed several rounds, would have been a great chance for Ger to roll well and weaken the attackers.

I know what I want Japan to do, but need to think about my builds while I go running and enjoy the few hours of sunlight left. Jpn is struggling and ANZ is getting too much cash. Jpn can’t safely get its tt’s to the islands.

Scramble 3 U.S. ftrs from Sumatra to defend dd in sz41? Jpn attacking with 4 ftrs, dd and 2 subs.

Rus and Brit full attack against Jpn border has Jpn stretched thin. Don’t like attacking Novo with just 2 ground troops to take hits and attack/defense power levels the same. But situation so bad, I’m gambling on luck to weaken you there.

Wow, that gamble in Novo paid off big time. I hit average but Rus/Brit all missed on round 1. Then I killed the entire remaining force on round 2 and you only hit one. Plus my other border attacks all succeeded without loss to me. So the border is secure for now. I didn’t want that Brit tank running amuck in Siberia.

No scramble. I messed up and was unable to get a 3rd ftr into Mal. But doesn’t matter, as I didn’t expect the planes from N.G. to be able to reach with my dd blocker. But computer allows it, even tho you didn’t attack sz55 blocker. Didn’t count on CV to Java sea.

I should have sent loaded tt to Ital Somal and gambled on taking it from Rus.
