I spent an hour here thinking about the US and the UK’s turn. I hate it.
Looks like you left me in India? Presumably the repair cost is onerous?
Not sure what the US has in sz 6 now but looks HUGE!
Will take a look tomorrow.
Why recapture India and put my troops in striking range of all of yours? I have nothing to gain from a fight in India. I would rather keep those troops alive as a wall to keep the Japanese from coming through into the middle east from Shan/India, or to march them north into Russia if the situation calls for it. Or, if Japan wants to start investing money into India to begin pushing through to the middle east, cool, that’s less fleet and things not going to ANZAC. If they don’t do that then they have to bring their air force down. Again, cool, I’d rather Japanese air be away from SZ 6 at the moment!
Moreover, why take it, get 5 IPCs on the collect income phase for UK Pac, and then immediately give an extra 5 IPCs to Japan when they re-re-capture it?
I mean, I’m at war with Japan. I don’t want to be nice to them. I don’t think that’s how wars work :p
ha ha! Was only thinking light trading. I guess though if I recapture each turn I get the ipcs either way.

@Private:

Yeah, same deal. I’m just giving you an extra 5 IPCs per turn for no reason, and letting you kill British people easily. Maybe if they were Russians, I don’t mind the thought of Russians needlessly dying, there’s plenty of those damn people.
I’d rather Japan just keep it. If you want to build units there, again, good, those are units that aren’t messing with the US/ANZAC.

So, this naval battle, I fucking went for it. Horrible odds, but it’s go time for the allies, and instead of retreating my ANZAC navy to Hawaii, I’d rather take the chance I have now to destroy some units you have that might threaten the middle east or join in a recapture of SZ 6 later. Now that America has showed up, and ANZAC is reclaiming your money islands, the point is to keep Japan in a position of having to make hard decisions.
I have scored two hits on the first round, which sucks for me. Should have been three, and I was hoping for four.
You have:
1x CA (undamaged)
3x DD
1x SS
1x fighter
1x tac
Pick two, sir. I wouldn’t dream of trying to assume your order of losses here.
Took a lot of thinking about!
1. Sub first
2. Destroyers
3. Carrier (damage then sink)
4. Fighter
5. TB
Unless you are lucky I won’t need to lose all those!

I ended up getting pretty lucky there. Running the battle calc after the fact (because I refuse to do it before), it seems I had about a 1/3 chance of winning that fight. And I won.
That makes me feel less bad about the previous dice-fuckings I have received this game.

Italian destroyer is fine.
Intercept in Russia?
Hrm, 11 vs. 11.
In an average world, that’s 2 planes dead for each of us, except my planes defend on a 4 and yours attack on a 3, so it’s not worth the trade. No intercepts, sir.
My attempt to suck you into that did not work then!
