Congratulations in getting Indonesia back so easily!

[corriganbp]

I hear you, but there was an expected win in each one of those battles with the possible exception of java.  (and at the very beginning a lot of your defending 2 shots did hit, see shensi, burma, borneo) - not sure that things really went that unexpectedly brought overkill to every battle, 1 inf 1 tank should win 50% of the time, and mutually kill 10% - since if winning a 50% battle is a break, yeah I got one there.

nothing totally goofy there.  no battles won where I had 10% odds or battles lost where I had 95+%.

(notice 1anzac fighter lands on the USA carrier)

Anzac collects 17

Warning:

The French fighter won’t be in Normandy during G11; if Italy puts blockers in sz94 I might decide to use it against it. Anyway it won’t be in Normandy for sure. It will be either in London or Algery depending on your Italy turn.

Oh Anzac should have collected 5 more during Anzac9 due to Malaysia. I’ll add them now.

I’m moving the French fighter to London, but you can change him to Algeria if you like, either way Germany won’t be attacking him other than to take back now empty Normandy.

Southern France taken with loss of 15 inf.  We needed it to be much more one sided if we’re going to have enough troops to push back the Russians.
