Oof, I’m busy and then I’m tired. Just now downloading, so planning to look and then play this weekend.

That’s one of the things about the playoffs, they span many months and some of those you’re busier than others…

Looks like the underdog allies got their ground hits in again! though the Jap airforce remains intact since 1 plane going down over 37 on J1. Game on!

(Underdog, meaning over-matched China and India)

I realized after clicking that TrJ was actually an amphibious assault that should have been rolled first.
I thought I should acknowledge that - let me know if you take issue.

Holy cow, NICE CATCH

US plane fights to death, and if it wins I have a major problem.

No, I’m definitely following the rule there.
