2 clarifications.

#1 NCM error - 1 us trn Sz33 moving to Sz54, I will edit on China

#2 2 us fgts on 1 acc in SZ42, this will be important when 2 ANZAC fighters land on said carriers on the ANZAC turn.

Bonus clarification - I was not expecting to win Java.  Not even close.  I was just hoping for 2 to 3 hits…

Karl felt that going for the capital was too high risk.

Nuking 4 aa guns + a major factory, and grabbing 4 IPCS that Italy can’t get back. Doesn’t seem all that bad as an alternative.

What were you expecting?

[Gargantua]

Hey bold it’s been like an hour since the last move And a week since anyone has heard from Seth, how come you’re not jumping up and down about schedule???

@Gargantua:

haha…  well, seth was already shell-shocked BEFORE you annihilated java.  it will be a miracle if he’s still breathing now.  losing northern italy and 4 aa guns may have been the last straw.

[boldfresh]

at least his cruiser killed an american bomber in z92.  gotta look on the bright side.

@Boldfresh:

Yeah, and that damn cruiser got my French fighter too!

Dice rape.

[Gargantua]

This is a very interesting turn for Italy.  A lot of strategic decisions to make, and a lot of variables.

Tough to say for sure what I would do.
