@arthur-bomber-harris how was the south?
@crockett36 It was amazing. Argentina is such a fun country, especially in the winter. The Andes are one of the most incredible mountain ranges in the world as the rise out from the plains, towering up another 6000m.

@crockett36 getting a strange message when I try to start the game:
class java.lang.Boolean cannot be cast to class java.lang.Integer (java.lang.Boolean and java.lang.Integer are in module java.base of loader ‘bootstrap’) java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.lang.Boolean cannot be cast to class java.lang.Integer (java.lang.Boolean and java.lang.Integer are in module java.base of loader ‘bootstrap’)
I will try again later. Perhaps it is a server issue on the forum?
Looks like a known bug with the workaround being a manual upload of the files. I don’t think that it will use the diceserver for the rolls. Let me know if that is okay to proceed.

Did the PBEM option. Here is the save file. Italy finally has some income and the Med will be clear soon.
In terms of comments on the moves, it is getting time to have some risks as the Allies in the hope that the dice will favor you.
I would have kept my fleet together in SZ98 to make it expensive for the Germans to have attacked it. I probably would have skipped attacking it as it results in the destruction of 8-11 planes which are badly needed for the Russia front. I will gladly take out those carriers at a cost of just 2 planes, leaving enough force to prevent the new Atlantic fleet from going to Gibraltar next turn.
Malaya is the easiest territory for Japan to retake and the units will still be in position to support the general activities. It might have been the turn to attack the Money Islands in the hope that one of my counter-attacks fail.
@arthur-bomber-harris If you don’t mind we’ll go back and fix it. I made the changes. It’s Italy s turn again.revised uk.tsvg
@crockett36 no problem. Good to save your Med fleet as it is too costly to rebuild the navy on this side of the oceans. See revised turn. revised-uk_italy.tsvg
As another small tip, I never purchase a cruiser in games. It just never makes sense compared to other options such as subs and destroyers or carriers. You needed a destroyer to counter the impending sub builds of the Axis.
@crockett36 revised-Russia.tsvg
Double check your non-combat moves for ANZAC as your capitol can easily be taken on Japan’s turn. Feel free to edit the units during this Russia turn as none of the changes will have affected the German decisions.
@arthur-bomber-harris okay. Thanks
I opted for an overwhelming number of potential battles for Russia to consider, with the danger that any forces that remain after the attacks likely will get obliterated during the German turn. Tough decisions as there are so many potential territories to consider during R10. Without any air force, it becomes impossible to use effective hit-and-run tactics.
Also tough choices on how to combine your Atlantic and Med fleets as neither one is strong enough to survive by itself. I took Gibraltar with Germany and the economic consequences of not recapturing it this turn is quite huge, with the bonus lost for UK and bonus gained for Italy.
@crockett36 1.28.22 USA turn.tsvg
Fortunate dice rolling for Russia in those counter attacks. I edited the remaining art for Germany to be a bomber as I would have saved that to be the final casualty.
@arthur-bomber-harris No credit for choosing raid over conquest? The game is on the knife’s edge. Good times.
