Hello gents,

me and a good friend of mine were playing the lovely oztea41 version and had
a blast so far.
No I feel like I am screwed as the japanese player. I see no chance to find a safe place for
my fleet and invasion looks like it is inevitable.
So far I have played prettty conservative with the Japanese player but still see no chance against the combined
fleet and airforce of the allies in the pacific theatre.
Any idea what I made wrong here?
Also any idea were to find good position for the Japanese fleet?

Cheers and have a nice weekend fellow generals.2020-11-24-Japan R7.tsvg
