wooooot!!!

never, NEVER underestmate the French!!!

tinydictator

to speed things up a bit, I’ll proceed on the assumption that your are not going to waste your kamikazes on this. If you do want to do it, just load the combat move file, do the kamikaze and edit the result for the fight in Algeria.

tinydictator

Do you spend any kamikaze attacks to defend your trn against the French DD in sz19?

(I told you not to underestimate the French! :-D)

The internet in the train didn’t really work…

Looking at the post again maybe I overreacted a bit by rerolling. I don’t know. Hope you are ok with it.

I agree that my US move was a mistake. I should either have moved the entire fleet there or I should have withheld the carrier. But anyway, by now the allies are pretty much ready to start operations in Europe, and once things in the american sector of the pacific are a bit more secure, all these bombers (or at least most of them) can fly over to Europe.

UK attached. I re-rolled the UK combat move once, as the first time the result was:

Iraq: 1 Inf, 1 ftr, 1 tac, 1 bmb vs 3 inf: 1 hit for me, 2 hits for Iraq after one round
Yunnan: 2 Inf, 1 Art, 1 Ftr vs 3 inf: 1 hit for me, 3 hits for Japan after 2 rounds

That was just more than I could take right now (in particular with you attacking Szwchuan and not loosing a single plane). The Iraq roll was the same on the second try (so I guess I’m still cooked) and I took one more Inf in Yunnan to bring my odds above 90% (which I guess also means I’m in deep trouble, spending my UK infantery like candy there).

Count it as a win for you if you want, but I want to see where this goes without two freak rolls in one turn.

Hm, automatic posting doesn’t seem to work. US attached.

I reconsidered some of the Russian moves indeed, you were right that I was putting a little bit too much emphasis on defending Leningrad.

I also edited your transport in sz8 away which I forgot to take with my bomber from Hawaii (I missed my train yesterday so I took the one leaving at 6:20 this morning - I’m pleading the insanity defense…)

You’re doing some pretty interesting stuff in the med (I think, at least). And I admit you’re forcing the US to engage a bit more in the pacific than I’d actually like. Let’s see how this is all going to work out.

more UK NCMs:
Inf Persia goes to Northwest-Persia
Shan State goes to Burma (or, rather, stays there in the first place)
1 Inf from Malaya goes to Shan State

…I just hope that French DD wins against the Japanese sub. Otherwise I might be in trouble.

tinydictator

uh, no, 1 UK ftr stays in Calcutta.

Dang, this is a close thing everywhere. If you don’t mind, I’d might move those guys around together with ANZAC (they’ll have no roll-based battles, I’m just gonna pick out that transport by the salomones)

Actually, looking at this while I’m more awake: The UK Pac airforce (2 ftr, 1 tac) goes to Java.

Philippines: No scramble
Hawaii: Full scramble

OOL in Hawaii is very hard to say - obviously I start with AC, sub, DD, DD; but everything afterwards would very much depend on how the battle goes. (I should have made a proper calculation though and kept at least either one of the Cruiser and the BB I send to the other side);
