The planes from Hopei could land on my Hawaii CVs, but that would take away from how many of the planes on those CVs currently could attack there.

Argh, sorry, will need to make one more change, I didn’t see your bombers in Queensland…

Sorry, made one more adjustment. Am I correct that the planes in Hopei cannot attack SZ6 with no viable landing spot?

Hey, I made an error going into West India - my original plan was to just go in with 2 guys, but then I brought the entire force without thinking - forgot I needed to still defend my bombers. I pulled 4 guys back if you are OK with that. I only needed to kill 1 inf, so it was extreme overkill…

Let me know if you want to reverse it back. I don’t know if those planes would have gone for 4 naked bombers, or are heading to Egypt anyways. I guess I could also re-do some of my build if necessary, to put an inf or 2 there instead.

I guess I’m considering these as proof-of-concept games, to try to work out different strats.

Hey, I had actually reverse that and saved the planes instead of the cruiser/BB. But why don’t we note this point - but play on. If Axis can’t get a win, we can potentially re-visit and play out the other branch.

Seems really challenging to play Axis. The onus is really on Axis to make something happen in this format!
