That was a good move with the US bomber, yes. I saw it, but hoped one of my two CRs would hit. Playing by probability…not fail-save.
RE Russia I think it must be a Russian terr as well. Otherwise I would not have attacked.

And yes, without killing the Italian TT you SHOULD feel worried. No sweat there, now.

Very interesting one, like this game. Russians on their way back from China but also gearing up for Iraq?  And now so many things to consider for Japan. Will try to get it out as soon as possible later today.

I acknowledge far too uneven luck (so far) when its to my advantage.

I would concede if your japan play was better.  lol. It is the only thing that is keeping me in this game. The fact that the pacific is looking good. Japan never got to blow up yet.

[lexgreat]

And how tempted have you been to attack the Italian BB with two figs? Somehow I think you are the type who fancied his chances :)

As for my Japan play, I certainly will ask after the game for any comments on what you would have done at certain stages. Tough to grow when 18 inf on one side, Chinese/Russian stack on the other and Brits in the south. Looking forward to suggestions how to cope!

Well I could have been more conservative and did africa only battles instead of middle east.

That would give up the NOs there which is the problem. Allies start global in a losing position and it puts the pressure on the allies to make things happen.

When you play the maps individually europe half and pacific half… the game is pretty even… but the pressure on the axis to make things happen. In global the allies have to play desperately. That is just how it is.

To be honest, I did not expect the pacific to look like this at this moment, otherwise I may have done things differently in Europe. I still have an income advantage, but that is only because Japan did not get all the islands or deny the burma road from China or get siberia. I am sure you will pick something to work at soon.

I am just going to shove everything at you and hope for the best lol.

I still really wanted to play the allies for fun. Winning a tournament like this is rough to begin with, luck is needed. It is not like anyone is bad.

Just some minor adjustments to your Japan and you will be fine.
