@jim010 damn it - I could’ve held Yunnan! I just forgot about the Anzac Fighters… :/ :D Well you would’ve won, but with the loss of 28 units, it’s usually not something Japan goes for this early… Damn it. Japan gets a little free time ;)
I am not that experienced with the Pacific end of things, but I wanted the option to hit a Yunnan stack or a Russian stack. I figured I would lose alot of planes in Yunnan but still win if you stacked, but you would lose everything and not have a followup. That was my thinking.
@jim010 true, but the amount of planes you would lose (around 10-11 according to Batlecalculator), would be pretty crippling for Japan - US are still very much present in the east and UK Pacific are kind of rich, compared to what they’re used to. They can buy 10 inf next turn. Of course China would be emptied out, but they are always able to put in 5 inf somewhere :p
Perhaps. But China and india emptied takes alot of options off the table for you. I would have done it, even with your Japan first tactic.
@jim010 it’s all ifs now ;) Anyway, India wouldn’t have been emptied. As I said I could have put in 10 Infantry, giving me enough to build a meaningful defense, so Japan would have had to spend at least 3-4-5 rounds getting ready for the India battle. I could send new planes from the middle east. England are the second most annoying nation after CHina haha :D
That destroyer by crete is so well hidden, I almost missed it.

Wonderful … forgot to move the Germans in the north … whatever …
My biggest complaint of playing online is that I always miss something because I’m only ever looking at a small section at a time. And panning out doesn’t help.
@jim010 just edit it. that’s basically houserules on this webpage :) For me the limit is that you edit forgotten things either right before you post or as fast as possible after. This is 2 mins, so just edit it :) Might had been different if I had been 15-20 minutes into my turn :p
That’s ok. Thanks for the offer. Its just a friendly game. You missed Yunnan, I missed Karelia. All good. Makes a difference in my advance, but whatever. Until I improve my Pacific play, not sure I’ll make it.
@jim010 alright no problems :) I also missed the british cruiser that’s just chilling east of Africa for no good reason :p Shit happens. Nothing crucial.
I was tempted to try my luck and hit those transports. Hit it with Italy, and then try with the German bomber. I really wanted to! That cruiser would have certainly put a stop to that.

@jim010 hehe yea, I actually thought they were long gone, but you’ve given me a chance to keep them :)
Odds were I would have just lost both planes and you’d still have a damaged carrier.
And here’s another example - attacked your ANZAC destroyer off Burma with 1 fighter, 1 tac and a sub only to discover its american ad not at war with me.
I’ll get used to this map one day.
@jim010 haha - I know that all too well! Their colours are just too similar. You can always check if the territory/seazone turns kind of red when you move units into it. If it does, at least some of the units in there are hostile :)
