Edit: What-if UK did not go for aggressive Medi fgt buy in UK1, and instead focus on sea mine in sz 12 and 15, and buy inf art atg at ratio of 4:2:1 and occasional tnk bmb for Cairo.

hum… not a so easy choice here… looks like keeping the sub might give some options, so let’s try that.

almost finished thinking how to react at the board. Should play soon (worst case this week end).
I guess I dunno the scenario enough, but I do not like the situation on the pacific board… I guess (hope ?) an early US at war should compensate (at least a little) that…
Well, I could not allow the indian BB escape to Hawaii, it could make can openers. It was a too tasty target and there were another easy targets everywhere. However, as you can see, I could not kill all of them. I had luck with the indian aa gun, tought
I usually wait until round 3, but in this particular case, I guess that is ‘the eaten for the served’, as we Spanish say
Yeah, and the Yunnan units still alive made an attack on Burma possible that I was assuming not possible by making my uk moves.
Anyway, will be interesting to see what will happen next :)
