@Arthur:

I should have easily gotten Java except that one AA shot down 2 planes, and your destroyer also got a hit in.  3 hits out of 4 for rolling three ones and a two…  I had to take the risk since the islands are worth so much.

That’s terrible.  If you want to go back to that turn, I’ll let you.  Dice shouldn’t be that…. evil.

@Arthur:

That infantry wall protecting the Caucuses took critical troops away from the main stack.  Now the main stack is too week and I can crush it unless the dice are evil.

I thought about that.  The thing is I felt I HAD to move “six” to Rostov.  I had no choice.  The Italians with their bombers might actually attack it if I went light and you dice were good and I don’t get a hit.  Then Germany Blitzes the Caucuses and Volograd.  Now I’m screwed.

@Arthur:

That crazy luck on Java cost me 50+ PUs… anyway that made the Pacific much more interesting.  Time to rebuild my airforce…

Your American fleet is not my target: I need to get to Moscow on G6.  There will be very few troops to defend it after I smash the main stack in my way.  You play too aggressively as Russia.

I can’t believe you tried to attack Java.  I just assumed that Java and Sumatra are just so well garrisoned that you wouldn’t waste the effort.

With Russia, I can’t let you get to the Caucuses, so I had to put the infs up as a wall now.  I figured your armor and mech inf which are more than 2 squares away gave me a perfect opportunity to make a stand.

I had the Japanese go max defense in Java (since you had way more carrier space than you needed for your planes) and you really got your licks in.  I think you had like 7 or 8 hits in the first round.  :-o :-(  I just sacrificed my carriers early and that paid off this time.

Unfortunately, the Canadian troops will now never see Africa but I can’t risk the Americans.  If hadn’t have done what I did, I am SURE you would have attacked them.  I have learned how nasty your Luftwaffe can be when you use it properly.

5 german bombers vs 1 CV, 2 P-51s, 1 CL, and 1 DD is a coin flip.  I need my boats to threaten Norway and Western Germany more than you need the bombers.  I had to hang the British (again) and take Southern France to protect the Atlantic fleet and all my transports.

I am convinced, that when I play Allies, Japanese infantry never miss…

I haven’t even begun to think about my 3 turns in sequence yet (still grumbling to myself on my own stupidity at Trans-Jordan) but I have ask…. how long did you study the board for J-3?  I tried to cover every base which gave you an abundance of options.  I didn’t know if you were going to go for the islands, go for india, or what you were going to do.  Your builds I find very interesting.
