I think you’re getting ahead in this one. Thought I was ahead for a while. Still close though.

Beautiful move at Midway! Could have kept half my troops on the transport if I was thinking about that.

In fact, I’m thinking that could be the game. I’ll play on for now but without that move you would have lost Hawaii. Not for the win because you have the Philippines but I’m not sure the IJN can escape now.

Ok. I was only looking at what did land there.

Ok, that’s it. I’m not sure that battle would have been enough if it had gone my way at 30% but at least if would have given the axis something.

I should have given up Celebes a couple of turns ago, wasted a couple of transports, ran out of destroyers but mostly I think I played Japan ok. Yet they lost. Too much allied pressure do you think or did I do something wrong I’m missing?
