@simon33 I don’t recall all the circumstances around the G2 Normandy attack. I think you are right that it didn’t help the axis ultimately, but I imagine Adam thought he would be in a position to hold it for longer and use it to deny allied landings.

If you are going to do 106, 110,111, he will definitely need that sub. The problem is that it means that the UK will scramble,likely trade for a few German air and maybe even lose those combats. He knows I’m going to scramble so has to consider that risk. If you don’t do 111 you avoid the scramble, and have a sub to spare. Those Brazil inf just make earlier US pressure on Europe a bit cheaper but that to me is useful. In practice, hitting that transport can mean the allies are often behind a turn relative to where they otherwise would have been.

I htought initially the extra inf in Yunnan would make him focus on that rather than 37. But taking that BB is valuable. It easily moves West to support the allies in Europe or joins the US fleet and makes a difference as a defensive unit. And he easily took India and pushed China back despite not attacking Yunnan. He did not lose this game in the Pacific.

The games I’ve won against Adam apart from this one were last year’s final, and one maybe 4 years ago.

scramble to 114 and/or 99
