It’s very frustrating being the Allies in the Pacific. Japan retook isles captured by Allies last turn, using fleets with 2 CV’s So they could use planes and bombard to ensure winning, and protect their transports. Allies can retake isles, but Japan would just sink the transports and retake the isles. U.S. can’t advance fleet into Japan territories, because 2 Japan fleets can reach, and planes could reach and then land on the other CVs, plus bombers and land based planes can reach. I did retake Phil, because I gained 7 PU.

I thought 3 infantry would be enough to prevent Italy from clearing Rostov, but you surprised me with more Italian air power. At least it cost you a fighter. Luckily, an Aussie pilot volunteered for a suicide blocker move to save the Brit army in Cauc and the Russians in Stalingrad.

I expected Italy would take TransJ to block the Brit fleet. But I would have had to put at least 3 ground troops there to defend against Italian air power. Perhaps I should have put a sizable army there anyway to go to Russia.

Yes please, all fighters. Brits take hits.

Bummer, my AA curse continues. No interceptor hits, no AA hits and I lose 2 fighters.

Struggling to find a way to contain Germany. Family visiting and a severe storm coming, may be delayed on my turn.

Thanks, have a pleasant holiday weekend also.
