Please move 1 AA from Stalingrad to Caucasus for me - saw something in post-move review…  :-)

Time for J6

Almost got it figured out…
Probably need to sleep on it
Not quite ready to pull the trigger

Sounds good to me  :-)

Dithering about purchases and a couple of transports…  :-P

OK, this one needed TWO nights sleep.
I woke up knowing what to do.
But not before dreaming about the game.  More of a nightmare, really.

There were extra territories around Egypt that you had a stranglehold on.  One of them was worth 3 IPC’s.  I had taken Egypt with Italian transports, but you took it right back.  At least I stopped production for a round…. I was wondering without looking at the map if you had at least left my transport alone, using the air to secure Egypt.

I controlled Malta but not Cyprus.

UK collected 97 IPC’s (and this is not counting India).  I was thinking, how is this possible, when you’re not even getting the NO for original territories?  I started counting territories and IPC’s.  Egypt was and extra 5 IPC NO for UK.  I didn’t finish, because I woke up.  And no, I was not sweating.  But boy am I glad to wake up and see a UK making only 30!

The decision that came to me immediately upon waking up -
Concede Hong Kong.  I was trying to defend too many places Wednesday.

Still a few decisions to make, but I think I can get it done this morning.

India can produce 1-2 units per turn right now
ANZAC can produce 2-3
China can produce 4-5
USA normally produces 5-8

Japan produces 10  (I am thinking about finally building a minor but still not sure)

Takes a lot of RAM to figure out what to do in A&A when being ganged up on  :-)

Hehe, yes, as Axis, if UK is making 97 even for 1 turn that is a nightmare scenario

Funny, you know I would never dream that UK is making 0
The deep dark fears come out in the night
