I btw now wished I would have tried to save the BS. However you have lots of cheap naval to sacrifice. But still not sure if wiping out Brits fleet round 2 would be too expensive for you or not.

What would you have done?

[gamerman01]

I was down to one battleship or bomber after your 2nd round, so I would have let it go
Or do you mean, which unit would I have saved if I were UK?
It’s a tough choice - you can’t go wrong either way.  Would probably have saved the fighter

Busy with other games today….

Yep, that was the question. I meanwhile prefer the BS, but as you said I guess it does not make a huge difference.

I btw know that 5 Inf instead of 4 in Yunnan is a bit over the top. But not retaking Yunnan sucks so much ZH1, I prefer to play that one safely.

Crowded med sea^^ But I did not find any other place for the ships. I did not dare buying a DD and this looks like the only reasonable place where the (evil) German subs don’t smell fresh meat to be slaughtered.

I think my (suspect) Axis skills will be put to the test…
