[JDOW]

Frustrating day, 3 games and in all games my opponents had great dice and my dice sucked :-/

[gamerman01]

You got a hit somewhere in France….  :lol:
Indeed, I feel very fortunate once again, and I dare say overall game luck has swung my way now!
And I need it, because I am quite inexperienced with the bad guys!

[gamerman01]

At least your hit(s) didn’t come in Z113 where they would have no effect!  :-D

@Gamerman01:

I am having second thoughts about fighter to Alexandria…

Please edit 1 fighter from WGer to Alex (1 fighter flies from South France to South Italy instead of to West Germany, and fighter from 96 to Alex instead of South Italy)

You are setting up temptations my friend:)

The question is whether the could lead to glory or just lure the Egypts away from their home ground into certain death.

Edit mode was necessary to fly air to Siam, because the programmers thought you can’t fly over powers with which you are not at war, but they are incorrect.  They must have been thinking of the rule that it is an act of war against Japan for an Ally to fly over CHINA, but this is a unique rule for China.

I have to admit that this gives me a big headache.

If I do attack, I will win but you might be able to counter Egypt and place German Air to protect.
However in case I do not attack, you have a 60% attack on Egypt.

Plus: You want to distract my British Bonus Naval from supporting US landings which would allow me to play US more aggressively.

I really don’t know what to do :(

Brits keep a headache to me. My gut says: You are going to copy allweneeds move and capture India J4.
You don’t declare, put your air on yunnan and wait with 7 transports in Kwangsi with a harbour.

The only way to prevent that is to declare myself, but this delays US a full turn :/

I decided against DOW. I don’t know but any alternative looks bad in Asia^^

Edit because I just moved the US DD from sz39 to 79

[JDOW]

I just realized I forgot to move the Russian sub to Normandy. Would be nice if you’d allow me to move it there to at least try to steal some IPCs from the French Treasury!:)

As discussed, the DD back to India
