Terrible dice where I needed it and had 86% chance of winning.  And overkill in the other battle.  Egypt > AES more units and power of 19, yet I only rolled 2 of 7 and Brit rolled 3 of 6.  In Iraq, I rolled 3 of 4, when Brit only had 2 units.  The dice stats don’t look too bad overall, but they were bad where they mattered and better than needed elsewhere.  Now Brit planes can land in AES, which hurts Italy next round.

The Pacific is so much more complex to plan for with islands, tt’s, planes on carriers and naval bases, than the land based Ger/Rus theater.  I struggled to decide which planes to use to attack each target and where each would land to be in position for the next turn.  I had to be so careful not to let one of my two fleets get sunk. while taking isles, yet protecting my limited number of tt’s, that I didn’t realize that the IJN was strong enough to make the allied fleet retreat.  Ger will be simple in comparison.  Jpn is starting to out produce Ger and more immediate potential than Ger.

Would you object to me editing Italy on German turn to move an Italian inf that didn’t move, to NCM Romania>E.Pol? 
Been watching a close Boston vs Houston baseball game.

Made good progress into Rus.  But Rus can build 10 troops in Mos this turn, and continue big builds.  Don’t know as Ger can produce enough ftr escorts to offset all the Rus and allied ftr interceptors that will be in Mos.

In invasion of Celebes, I forgot to unload the land units for the attack.  Your inf hit, so I took a ftr as the hit.  I will edit to unload the tt and take an inf as hit instead of the ftr.  This is the third turn in a row where I had one bad dice round.  I attacked sub off Borneo with a BB, DD & ftr, 3 units with attack of 9, vs 1 unit with defense of 1.  All 3 of mine missed but your sub hit on the first round.  I now have a damaged BB.
