another correction: the sub from sz112 does not go to sz91, it stays where it is.

First Blood (Germany3).AAM

actually, no convoy raid in sz125, as Germany is still in peace with Russia (Though I assume that now Stalin will let drop this sharade of peacefulness of his)

so Germany 98 IPC.

And actually ANZAC earns 21+6 (they have both of their NOs)

hm, don’t you want to roll with your 2 French Infs before you kill me in Alg?

very ballsy to send your last fighter off… but I guess once you decide to turn on the pressure, you’d better be consistent about it.

Rule question: Can I send a Tac only as an escort on a strategic bombing run, i.e. does he need to bomb a facility after dogfight or can he simply stay in the airspace? (logically, this should be possible)

Correction: One Ital. Inf goes to Rom instead of Hun.

Ok Italy, but there are some errors:

US Income is 66 not 56
The Chinese fighter cannot land in Burma afaik (if I remember correctly you can attack Burma but you cannot occupy it). You can correct that with the ANZAK turn.
The income from FIc goes to  UK§ not (A). UK(A) income is thus 28 not 30. UK§ income is 12 not 11 (I don’t see where the +1 comes from?)

ok, good night! (better for me as well, I still have some work to finish and its not helpful to press F5 every two minutes).

You should consider admitting defeat. Right now, I think I’ll win on BOTH sides of the board, no matter what the US does. You can’t stop me from taking Hawaii, ANZAK is has only one fighter to defend, UK is pretty much indefensible now as I see it, and Italy will run amok in the med - this turn Egypt, next turn the middle east and then Russia is alone against ca. 70 IPC Germany and 40 IPC Italy.

of course your sub can also retreat

also, there is a convoy raid on Hawai (only 1 IPC but still) and you don’t collect the Phillipines bonus anymore. So its 50 + 20 - 4 (or 5, if Hawaii hits) = 66(65), plus the one you saved.

your bomber is dead.

in combat round 2, you have one kill with the bomber (I take the fighter). I have two kills, one kill with the battleship and one with a fighter (supposing that the BB was either first or last in line - actually we should as a rule have first ships and then airplanes in those rolls, exactly for these situations). The hit from the BB goes on a sub. The hit from the Ftr cannot go on the sub (I don’t have a DD present), so it can only go to the bomber.

No need to reroll anything, but you have to decide whether your sub dives or presses on, in which case the battle continues without my remaining fighter. My next loss would obviously be the cruiser, if you press on.

hm. actually I take a fighter (sub in round 1 and fighter in round 2)

NB that I shot down your bomber in round two, the fighters can’t hit the subs.

Japanese casualties: 2 Tac

Non combat move:

1 Ftr, 1 Tac (Kwa) -> sz6
1 Ftr (Kwa); 1 Tac (sz45); 1 AC, 1 Crs, 1 sub (sz35) -> sz46
1 BB, 1 DD (sz35); 1 Trn (sz31, load 1 Inf Wak); 1 sub (sz6) -> sz33
1 Ftr (sz35); 1 Inf (Wak) -> Car
Bmb (Ind); 2 Ftr, 2 Tac (sz43); 1 Inf, 1 Art (Hon); 1 Inf (FIc) -> Kwa
1 Inf (FIc) -> Yun
3 Inf (Jeh), 1 Ftr (Hun) -> Man
1 Inf, 1 AA (Jeh); 1 Ftr, 1 Tac (Hun) -> Anh
1 AC (sz31) -> sz26
1 Bmb (sz26) -> Wak
1 sub (sz6) -> sz35

Build:
Jap: 1 AC, 1 DD, 1 sub, 1 Trn (sz6)

Collect: 41 IPC

PS: Do not forget the convoy raids for the US in sz26 (unless you kill me, which is unlikely) and 101.

PPS: I believe that things aren’t going exactly well for you.

PPPS: Nice move to go to Amur though.
