By the way, Germany will SBR Moscow with 3 bombers and 5 fighters.  Intercept?

Different computer, same issue as before.  sorry.

Italy 4.

That’s a good question Jeff and I agree with Cow that there might not be a good counter to it (yet).  Germany can push the Russians back without even firing a shot if they go in hard and fast.  If Germany went into East Poland on G1 the Russians will have evacuated Novgorod through Archangel (or died in Belarus), and as of round 4 a lot of them will be up in Vologda so forget about attacking Bryansk R4. Now suppose Japan were to do the suiyuyan airbase thing and land 20ish planes on top of the Germans as soon as they get to Bryansk. With Japanese planes holding the fort in Bryansk, the German mech/tank army can then sweep down to Caucasus and beyond starting G5.  The Russians can sit in their turtle shell and get SBR’d every turn while the Germans build up artillery in Ukraine for the final apocalypse.  Escort fighters are important if they sent allied fighters to reinforce, but Germany should have several bombers by then.  This is all contingent on Japan NOT declaring war on USA before round 4.

also, lose the bomber after the infantry and before the tanks.

If USA attacks Rome, please lose 3AA and then start on infantry - save 1AA.
If UK attacks Rome, please scramble 1 fighter to stop bombardment.

I am getting your dice emails but mine aren’t sending and I get an error when I try to post.  I still don;t know why.

J3 attached.
If you attack z6, give 2 kamikazes to carrier, 2 to battleship, and 1 to each cruiser.
