I will spend a supply and fight in this battle.
You have spent one supply from Mersa Brega to move into Benghazi, right? So there should be two supply there at this point?

Just posting to remind, no rush
Hey Wheat. Thanks for the reminder. I’m sorry for the delay. Work has been crazy so haven’t had much time. And…the time I have had, frankly, I don’t know what to do!!! :? Have not had a game go this long, and maybe this is how it is supposed to go, but damn, I’m a bit confused. I have a bit of time tonight so hopefully will get some moves in.
You’ve played a bunch more than I have. Pretty normal so far?
China and Calcutta are in stronger positions than normal, but the Japanese economy/fleet are in better than average shape despite that. The USSR may be weaker than normal, but Germany can’t go full bore with Allied landings. The Middle East standoff is pretty typical.
It’s unusual for a G40 game to end before turn 7. Most of my games run about 10-15 turns unless there’s a bad dicing or major mistake.
Don’t worry about the delay.
The only advice I would have would be cutting down Japan’s economy, particularly by holding one or more of the DEI (even if it means sacrificing transports).
Thanks for the advise. I’ve thrown away a couple of transports harassing you in the DEI, but that is about it so far. It is a costly delay tactic, but feel it had to happen. I really don’t know what exactly to do, but going to keep on doing it!
If you can imagine, I have a US turn!
