We finished that battle today…He attacked my 3 subs, 2 trannies, 1 AC, 2 figs, 1 des with 1 BB, 1 AC, 2 figs, 1 des, 3 trannies, 2 subs and lost, I had 1 AC with 2 figs left.  They conceded after that battle.

When deciding on what branch to enlist in(I did an Officer Candidate contract), I figured I wouldnt want to be on a ship 6 months out of a year…if I had only known instead I’d be deployed for 15 months at a time every other year….

Yea, Benning was ok, I am stationed out of Ft Lewis.  At least this deployment we have structures to live in, in 05/06 when here I lived in a tent with no AC, nothing better than getting to 130 in the daytime and no AC….

Thanks switch, We may finish tonight(have tomorrow off for the 4th), but us being able to play online would be nice because we wouldnt have to worry about space.  Hard to find an area to setup the board and leave it, my room is 7’x7’, and I’m an officer!

But I’m on a gov’t pc, downloads and .exe are frowned upon.

Jesus does hate me, he deployed me for 27 of the last 36 months to Afghanistan!

I don’t use calc’s during the game, we had to stop play (Sunday is our pseudo day off) and work was getting ready to start back up so we wrote everything down and packed up.  Anyway, I figured since Japan would act first and attack me, I wondered what the odds would be.  Japan owns all of their islands, britain still has NZ and AUS, other than that the Pacific has been quiet.  I wiped out his PH attacking force on my 1st turn basically rendering the pacific calm(he had his BB and AC from the West still left).

With Germany’s fleet(and most of the luftwaffe down) I think I am sitting in good shape.  Thankful for the blunder by Japan on his non combat move by moving his fleet past the japan SZ and then placing only 2 tanks and 1 INF in Japan for his placements(he put 5 tanks on the mainland).

Anyway, thanks for the insight, This is only my 2nd time playing(last time I was Japan and one of my platoon leaders was Germany, he got W EUR taken from him in RND4 and Berlin in 5, even though I was able to take Moscow in 5 as well I couldn’t get over there to save him).

I am in a friendly game with some fellow Soldiers in Afghanistan and the M$oft Access battle outcome sheet keeps crashing on me, I could use your advice/help.  I am the Allies and I just took Japan with 2 tanks left.  Japan has a fleet and we are about to do some battle, I believe he has a slight edge, will be 1 BB, 1 AC, 2 Figs, 4 Trans, 2 Dest, 2 Subs vs 1 AC, 2 Figs, 4 Subs, 1 dest, 2 trans.  I am going to assume he is going to have to leave at least 2 transports behind to try and take japan after the naval combat.  Anyway, some of you with expert knowledge what the probable outcome is.  Thanks for the help, and I enjoy reading your strategies and opinions.

US can spend $93 next turn and collects $46 a turn currently, plus has an IC in Norway to help in Europe.  Germany has 1 BB and Trans in the Med and 1 tran off of brazil.  Japan has no other navy.  I think I am in good shape in that I just repelled the Japs in Moscow and during Russia’s turn cleared 7 tanks 2 figs 3 arty and 2 figs with 19 inf and 6 tanks, plus repulsed germanys counter.  Uk and US have strong trans support and can shuttle troops East quickly.  Plan on hitting West Europe as soon as the German player slips up.

Thanks again
