BM3 Colt(Axis) vs Rommel

[FMErwinRommel]

Forgot that USA only has minor IC until DOW. 
China attack on Yun was 0,0,0 hits, while Jpn hit every round.  I left 1 inf behind, but that wouldn’t have made a diff.  Disastrous start for China.

[FMErwinRommel]

In USA1, edited Chi inf NCM Sze>She.  Also changed USA build placements: built marine in CUS instead of WUS, so I could place 1 sub in sz10 instead of sz101.

I read that Bal Mod 3.2 would post the allies turns together after the Bri turn was posted (American, Chinese and British), but I posted them individually anyway this first time, just in case.

[FMErwinRommel]

Because the Chinese inflicted no hits on the Jpn in Yun, let alone recapture it, the Bri couldn’t advance to Burma, like everyone seems to do.  This one event could have a significant effect on the war in mainland Asia.
On a separate note, the Ger build of a cv group, but with noticeable sub and air losses, could mean you will try some wild new strategy such as Ger taking Gib and building an airbase there, instead of Bri.  Or else, you will do the west Africa tour like I did, but on a grander scale.  :-D

I realized during non-com that I wasn’t going to get +5 for med NO because French would still be enemy so I shouldn’t have risked that fig in 99  :-P. I meant to retreat sub in 96 after i sank cruiser but not the transport but tapped space too quickly. Just curious, would the sub be able to return to 97 or would it simply submerge in the 96 SZ? Plus I forgot Southern France would be enemy-controlled still so no Roman Empire NO. Ugh, just careless play

[FMErwinRommel]

I don’t recall subs being offered to retreat after initial dice round, when the attacker won.  You could replay the game on local computer and see.  I received the marti die roll emails but not the forum posting email notice for Italy save game or your comment.

Really discouraged about this game.  Jpn has almost conquered China on J2.  That one small Chinese battle has shaped the entire game.  China had a 96% chance of winning, and even if Jpn won, bat calc said they would only have 1.5 units left, not all 3.  USA and Rus can only sit and wait to be attacked.  India and ANZ can take isles this turn, but their tt’s will then be sunk.  Jpn won’t have a constant stream of Chinese to fight and can walk to India in 3 turns and can sail in 1-2 turns from the new naval base or Malaya.  You would send Indians to Africa to help Bri, but now if I keep the ones that I already sent to Africa, India will be more likely to fall.  Bri has more movement choices than US and Rus.  It will take me a while to decide what to do.  I will take Bri turn tomorrow.

I maximized the Bri & Indian forces to remove the Italians from Africa and still be in a position to defend Egypt.  I didn’t want Italy converting friendly neutral Syria and then Iraq to Ita, so I attacked Iraq.  Bri had twice the power and 2/3 more units than Iraq, yet inflicted no hits, but received 2 hits.  :x
