Do you want to edit anything?

Oh, gosh no. Except maybe place a stack of 20 tanks in Italian Somaliland to protect my poor little bomber.  :-P

Thanks for the offer, though.

OK, I’m totally not thinking this weekend.

I’ll let you have the game if you want it. I thought you had a sub and a destroyer in Hawaii, not a transport. My fault for not double-checking.

If you’re cool with letting me fix that I’d appreciate it, but don’t feel obligated. I’ve playing like a putz the last couple days and deserve what I get.

How about if I place three units from my original buy on Japan instead of on Asia?

Put one mobile from Kiangsu on Japan and two mobiles from Shantung on Japan.

That gives you a sweet opening on the mainland where I’ll deservingly be weak, and you can still try to take Japan with your transport and bomber if you feel lucky with the dice.

Is that cool?

By the way, I’ve never seen this strategy with the Allies before. It’s been keeping me hopping. Nicely done.
