BOMBING RAID ON INDIA

1 flak shot
Rolls: 1@1; Total Hits: 11@1: (1)

[Argothair]

Well, those strategic bombers didn’t do shit – 2 hits on 3 flak dice, and not enough damage that India will even notice. I guess I won’t build any more for a while. I begin to see some of what you mean about ‘vulnerable to a Yunnan stack’ – I think the Allies will probably wind up in charge of southeast Asia before too long. It hadn’t occurred to me that you might leave the Siberians in place, and I didn’t see ahead of time how much of a monkey wrench that would be for my J1 India Crush idea!

Now I just have to see if Italy and Germany can make Russia pay a fatal price for leaving the Siberians behind.

Japan collects 26 base + 8 China + 11 UK Pacific + 11 Dutch + 2 USA + 2 French + 5 for the money island NO = 65 IPCs, plus I saved one this turn, so 66 IPCs in the Japanese treasury. Probably my peak for the game! I really still haven’t figured out how to play Japan on this map.

Deploy 3 mech in Kiangsu, minor factory in Manchuria, and boats in SZ 6. Thanks for playing; I’m having fun so far.

Allies up!
