Witt and Private P meet for 1942

[Private-Panic]

The Japanese fell on their swords!

[Witt]

I saw the possibility of that Attack. Not sure I would have tried it:
I am an ultra conservative, you know!
Talk tomorow. Goodnight.

[Witt]

I will swap the Bomber and Art for Tank, Inf  and TT.

[Private-Panic]

Got Moscow - hooray!!!

How long before you get Tokyo?

[Witt]

I can’t get Tokyo.
Annoying you survived the battke with 10’units (lost no Tanks).
I can’t win. Germany will overrun all over Asia.
I comsidered attacking India. Might never get it now. Whatever I do, just does not seem enough.
I think the Allies have to have a bid. You are as good as me and the Allies need the Borneo sea battle to succeed. For tbat,  a Sub is needed.
I hope to do my go, but are full again tonight and are at the park with a Maddy for a picnic.

[Private-Panic]

Took a couple of fighters off to keep those tanks.

Tokyo is safe with J’s current ipcs and I hope that G will now be able to push the US off Asia.

Do I need 9 capitals? In which case I have 7 (I think) and will regain the China one. Next London or Manilla? Can the US defend both?

Which does probably mean you are right.

Feel free to capitulate so that I can make the most of it tomorrow!!! :evil:

[Witt]

Has to be London. Need to  starve it of income. Need to go back to Africa.

[Private-Panic]

@wittmann:

Has to be London. Need to  starve it of income. Need to go back to Africa.

If I try an SBR are we doing fighter intercepts?

[Private-Panic]

And - did  take it from an earlier comment that sz16 is supposed to be closed? Or can I get to the Med from there?

[Witt]

Yes can do.
You sailed into the Black Sea, so it looks like we are!
Not tomorrow, though: is too much of an advantage.

[Private-Panic]

@wittmann:

Yes can do.

Not tomorrow, though: is too much of an advantage.

Okay - look forward to seeing your moves ……

Burma is the second attack I should have won, but failed. You have won the ones you had to. Most frustrating.
Your go.

I am sorry witt - I will try harder to lose them in future! Have had my own frustrations, in particular the aborted sz51 debacle where I did not even get to do the battle!

Who was it that said to give him a lucky general?

[Witt]

Not sure. Probably Napoleon.
Off to work. See you tomorrow. You said not to use the M6 Toll? will look again, but don’t want you waiting on me.
