Poor dice for Allies in Malaya and Burma.  Japan used overwhelming air power.  With U.S.A. not able to attack this turn and ANZ weak and not in position, Japan split its fleet in 3 to protect all amphib tt’s.  UKPac has one last big income to spend before dropping to 9 PUs.  China has nowhere to hid and its income is already minimal and still shrinking.  Will the Soviet Far East army detour from the rush to the western front, get off the Siberian railroad and don their skis to prop up the Chinese in their last mountain fortresses?

Don’t make me start PM’ing my allies to coordinate a legitimate and competent defense against your imperialist aggression in this game.

Russia has sworn an oath of silence so far.

So far…

It’s interesting playing with new partners and opponents, as I get to see different strategies for the various countries.  Building BB’s is unusual.  Most players I’ve known go for lots of cv’s and ftrs as the U.S.  Building tanks as Rus in the early turns is also unique.  I don’t like to play by myself against the AI, so this game is broadening my experience and giving me new ideas.

I’m curious to see when the German attack is going to begin.  Round 3 and Germany’s been peaceful like with Stalin. G4?  Who knows at this point…

Russia can set its own victory conditions. I’m open to a continued peace with my German comrades. :)

thanks garg

I don’t take look at these maps on the inbetween turns; it’s some seriously scary stuff for the allies.

I’m just going to hold my own!  And repel the fascist invaders if they attack! Conquering their lands!

If you Americans had just let Japan control China and keep Korea, there wouldn’t have been a Communist China, or Korean war or a nuclear N. Korea.  Go rant on Hitler and leave the Chrysanthemum throne alone.  Send your Pacific fleet east thru the Panama Canal.   Thank you Gar for your neutrality.  If you leave us alone in China, we will let you keep those worthless, frozen territories in Siberia.
