i flew them on to their landing spots so the dice would not have to be rolled.

[boldfresh]

so, my new years attack succeeds in catching the allies off guard.  a long and difficult road ahead for the axis, but this gives some hope!

[boldfresh]

hmmm maybe an edit of aircraft landing location coming!

[JDOW]

NP. Please make a note about on which carriers any japanese air in sz113 is.

[boldfresh]

yes indeed, here is the edit.  gotta go super aggressive!

i did note in the comment that the jap ftrs are on 1 german acc.

[boldfresh]

oh and there is a ftr, tac on the german acc in 93 - forgot to note that.

[boldfresh]

all the jap air from trj, z113 and moscow could all reach
w ukr so don’t worry about what/who can reach.

[boldfresh]

this is gonna get real interesting.  especially if my japanese airforce continues their recent heroics.

Notes:

1. I assumed no scramble in sz81 during the US invation in Trans Jordan for obv reasons.

2. I edited the US sub back from sz81 and moved it to sz71. It was rather illegal in general to move it in the combat phase as it could not protect the SZ against a scramble, was a simple missclick.

3. I tested 3 different scenarios for that move and after tripleA crashed once in a “live” move before dice were rolled I accidently forgot to buy the UK arty for SA and bought Mech instead as in my first draft of the move. Again, there is no way this could be influenced by any dice. However you have the right to change it back to a Mech. Minor thing.
Sorry again for edits in the big block. But I am glad we are lenient here, otherwise such moves would kill me, the game is complicated enought:)

Good night and sorry that one took quite long!
