@JapanDOWRound1Fan:

No scramble of course^^

And I had 13 shots at 2 and made 4 hits. I’d say nothing to apologize about on your end^^
I have to say I’m tempted for the 60%er at Caroline to kill you 5 air. But it will leave me with no Ground Units at all. I don’t think it is wise to sac all US ground for Carolines so I guess I won’t attack there.

Your strategy really really gives me headaches. I really feel my missing late game experience: The question is: Should I just walk into the holes you left in China or just throw everything against the moving Japanese forces NOT punishing the holes they left?

I think I made a decision already :)

:-) Thanks for the comments
That shows you what kind of bad luck I’ve had lately when I’m happy with 4/13 hits

[gamerman01]

Terrible luck against Seth on USA/UK3!  Dice will be important on this I4!

[gamerman01]

Both battles went your way  :-P
