Round: 6

Non Combat Move - British
            1 infantry moved from French West Africa to French Equatorial Africa

Turn Complete - British

What you said make sense.  Once losing stream on Navy I realize it becomes really hard to defense…I think you did a good job on taking out my land unit in Asia so I never be able to build up a U.S. force there…

Thanks for the advice and suggestion.  I think I learned some lessons in this game:

1. US needs to have platform to provide support.  One mistake I made is forgot to block the attack route of the Japanese fleet (by making sure there is a unit blocking that sea zone near the Far Russia so all the productions (and transports) were gone after the attack.

2. Africa seems pretty hard to defend if Germany decided to take it. I was lucky at round 1 where both of my transports were alive after G1 attack.    But with the Germany transport alive it’s hard to keep up.

3. The biggest challenge to me in this game is I find it hard to balance between India and British mainland. I need to think how to resolve it.

4. You are right.  I tried too many places and stretch thin

5.  Your Japan was really aggressive.  I was surprised how many lands you took at R1 - that didn’t happen when playing with my friend before.  Good to see! :)

I still like to try a few more games without bid  (hope you don’t mind).  Just to see how Allies can be stretched. :-D  I haven’t tried the attack route you mentioned.  I will give this a shot when condition comes…

Cheers,

Got you.  Thank you for your clarification.

Thanks again for quick reply! :-)
