After making my builds and combat moves but not yet posting, I decided to change my builds. Rather than redoing 32 combat moves, I am notifying you in advance of the edits that I will be making to my upcoming post. Building an additional transport and infantry instead of 2 marines.

[FMErwinRommel]

Did combat, but trying to decide where to place my planes to be able to strike Chinese and Russian armies, while fulfilling other goals. Going for a run, will think this over.

That was an ordeal. I should always check that I’m online before combat. Online result took 2 hits instead of 1 on Sumatra. But that’s the way it goes, not that bad. Had to retake DEI this turn for the cash and since you have no transports left to take them back on your turn. Previously, I was able to make Yun too strong for India to take and China wasn’t adjacent yet. So Chinese army could be destroyed if it tried for Yun. But I didn’t want to put all my troops from Japan into northern China without a NB. Feels like Napoleon forced marching across Europe to individually defeat his enemies. With 4 opponents in all directions, Japan has to race around, trying to keep you at bay and making hard choices. Japan can’t protect every part of the empire all at once.

Scramble Italian fighters to SZ 97?
If so, OOL?

[FMErwinRommel]

yes scramble all 3, bat calc says you would lose 5 extra units. Also, Italy could still defeat a UK invasion

[FMErwinRommel]

OOL BB tilt, 3 subs, 1 DD let me know how many hits

[FMErwinRommel]

CA if sixth hit

[FMErwinRommel]

Tell me how many hits before I choose the 6th hit

[FMErwinRommel]

Tough choice, if I take the last DD, then your surviving subs have first strike on round 2. But your subs can absorb my fighter hits if I keep the DD, but not if I sink my last DD. So I hope you only give 5 hits or less.

@ArtofWar1947
5 hits: Tip BB, 3 Subs, DD?

[FMErwinRommel]
