@Mallery29:

Scramble: Yes. All 5 FTRs.

5?

…I didn’t catch that you had an Air Base in Yugoslavia, which makes the battle nearly un-winnable (as planned I’m sure).  With your permission I’d like to redo the British combat moves.

[Mallery29]

Permission granted… :-D

[Eqqman]

Thanks!

Of course, by working to protect the Italian fleet, you may now be exposing Germany to a worse fate than I originally had planned for them…

I’m probably making huge mistakes in Asia with the British, but it presents a quandary.  Most of what I read implies that you can constantly send small counter-attacks out of Calcutta, but I don’t see any scenario doing that which doesn’t lead to being snuffed out J3/J4 if Japan even halfheartedly goes for it.  Of course, even if you do nothing but turtle, Japan can still snuff you out if they really push it, so might as well attack I suppose.

Well, there goes the Med  :cry:

[Eqqman]

Not quite sure why you’re so glum, you have plenty of blockers to keep me from hitting Italy directly for a couple of turns.

I expected landings in Syria to make a play for Iraq, but I would have dumped everybody into the same territory and not split your troops to give yourself a more defensible stack there.  +2 Italians isn’t enough to save the Iraqis.

I have an error posting the game so I’ll do a DropBox upload again.

Well, the dancing is over… but it was worth a shot.  I can’t complain since I had light losses elsewhere.

I always hate doing the Russian turn since it feels like anything you do is going to throw away the game… especially early on when there is no way you can hold any of your territories against a determined German player.
