Not much hope of a recovery at this point, but I’ll continue playing a bit longer.

I actually like the “japan retreat to z6”, but I wouldn’t repeat the attack on the US unless Germany was going for Sea Lion.

Still not sure if a Hawaii > Aussie attack has any merit.

I was more worried about the Hawaii-Aus attack…I didn’t anticipate an attack on WUS.
If Japan would have moved on Aus right after taking Pearl they would have had a good chance of taking it since it was early in the game and Aus was extremely weak. If you combine that attack with a defensive strategy in China then I think that would give Japan a good chance at winning the game.

[Seador]

Given the problems I’m having playing from my work PC and the state of the game, I’ll fold my tent on this one.

Sorry it was such a bummer match, I don’t think I challenged you at all in this one.

You’re play has improved a lot since we started last year!

[captainwalker]

Oh it wasn’t a bummer match…it was a challenge for the US and it would have been a few more rounds before they would be able to retake Hawaii.
Let’s start another one when you have time!

OK, I’m game for a rematch.  I have to sort out my PC issues and then I"ll let you know.

[captainwalker]

sounds good. I have to upgrade my OS so I’ll be doing that the first part of this week.

[captainwalker]

I’m all set…let me know when you want to start!
