Am wondering why you lost so many planes instead of troops in Burma? Can deal with a counter attack?

I agree that is probably too hard to come back from. I kind of thought that while you could attack Finland, it would cost a lot of troops and USA could take advantage. And besides, I had little better to do with those troops.

Have a couple of feedback points if you are interested. You forgot to put a German plane on Rome G1, Italy paid a price for this one. Now I am not sure if your G4 NCM was what you would have done if you hadn’t conceded but I don’t understand why the German blocking cruiser was in SZ110 when SZ104 would have stopped me from landing on Normandy. You haven’t left enough in range of Normandy to counter attack a landing there. I don’t completely get the sacrifice of the 2TTs in SZ127. You could have attacked from SZ115 and got a bombard. Could also have moved in 7mec 7arm to Leningrad which would have been difficult to counter attack (unless I had surviving tanks in Finland I suppose). I don’t like the G1 buy of CV+DD+sub. Why not CV+TT+inf+art? If you want a CV, that is.

Perhaps that’s enough.

Regarding a new game, I am thinking about finishing all my current games. Will let you know if I decide to start some more.
