Your map has only 2 fighters going to Solomons instead of 3.  If it’s supposed to be 3, let me know

There were 3 zones you could have unloaded to Australia but you didn’t specify.  It didn’t matter since you weren’t rolling dice - just be careful about that in the future

I said it last game and I’ll say it again - that UK transport in the Pacific is wicked.  Of course if I had the Italian bomber on India right now it wouldn’t be as menacing, but it could still open up Okinawa this turn.  Fortunately for me the dice have given me such a commanding position through the first 2 or 3 rounds (certainly let me down this round) that it surely won’t matter this time…

Too early to give advice probably, but as in the first game your weakness appears to be your Russian play and North Atlantic UK play…  and that’s significant because you can rarely win, losing the Russian’s front with the Germans.  Having the UK with a lot of transports and pumping out 8 units every turn is necessary when the USA is absent.

Of course, the opening couple of rounds of this game by the dice made everything very very difficult for you, but I see that parallel with the first game.

Don’t want to give too much advice…. I enjoy winning all the time  :-)

Hm - don’t know if I have a Japan move in me tonight…
Will look at your move and see if that makes me want to do it

[gamerman01]

Common mistake -
The AA gun captured is always controlled by the power who controls the territory.  The AA gun belongs to the UK, not Russia.

[gamerman01]

Yeah… I can probably finish it now

[gamerman01]

You didn’t list sub to 22

If this was a tight match in a tournament I would not allow that because you may have only remembered it after rolling dice.

But it’s fine.

[LuckyLindy]

Ah you are right.  Yes, I thought I had typed that in for submarine to Z22 but since it was not a contested battle I forgot - my mistake.  It was the only way to kill the transport without sending an ac to Z18 or Z17.
