Bridging with transports is a reasonable enough defense to not need factories on Korea or Manchuria.
The Mahatma Gambit
Curious about this one. Looked it up and it seems to assume that the UK BB will block access to the DEI for TTs in SZ20. It won’t happen that way in most games I’ve seen. Nearly everyone reinforces Kwangsi J1 which puts at least one TT south of the BB which can then go on to hit the DEI. This is normally also defended so WTF?
Is it just an outdated idea killed by some change in the rules or tactics or am I missing something?

First hit to dent CV. Not too sure after that.
Although I did say this. Clearly not thinking very well here, so I guess you can hold be to it. Damn.
Subs can’t hit subs. In fact, the engine would have taken it as an automatic casualty if it could. But even SS need DD to hit other SS. A crazy (if you ask me), but valid, rule in this game.
Checked this one. Seems you’re mistaken.
@Pac:
Each attacking submarine conducting a Surprise Strike rolls one
die. Attacking submarines that roll a “2” or less score a hit. After
the attacking player has rolled for all attacking submarines, the
defender chooses 1 sea unit (submarines can’t hit air units) for
each hit scored and moves it behind the casualty strip. (Note:
undamaged capital ships that are hit only once are not removed.)
And later:
Note: In both cases, attacking or defending, transports can be
chosen as casualties only if there are no other eligible units.
Submerged submarines can’t be chosen as casualties since they
have been removed from the battle.
So when it says “sea units” it is clearly not referring to surface warships
Your sub hit in the first round which I could take on my sub. I am sure I would have.
If US approach is to stack Hawaii to go forth and sally into SZ 6 and not build an effective navy in Atlantic, with competent German play, a good overall plan to win, barring bad rolls, a competent Japanese player, it is hard to see how the Allies will win.
That seems about right but without some IJN presence in SZ6 the USN can get there with its starting force, and not even all of it. 3 scrambling fighters and a DD doesn’t really seem enough to me.

But why were remaining tokens removed at the end of the round? I was under the understanding that the dice would remain until they hit. That’s why I bought so many.
I meant to scramble the Tac Bomber instead of the second Italian fighter. I guess I wasn’t clear about that. Looking at the dice, it never made a difference. Ok to edit? I’ll proceed on the assumption it is.
I must be confused about the tech rolls. Why did I only get one tech as USA when I hit twice? I also didn’t know about the removal of tokens after successful research. I wouldn’t have bought so many then.
Scramble SZ112 and SZ97?
