Great holiday!

@Arthur:

Great holiday!Â

I’ve never gotten Iraq this quickly.  I have absolutely no idea if I should make a stand and try to defend it or to just let the British over-run it.  I can’t figure out which option would be to my advantage.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

There is no easy way to reinforce it unless you can control Egypt.  Landing planes there will get quite expensive, while UK can quickly get ground troops there from both India and Egypt.

@Arthur:

There is no easy way to reinforce it unless you can control Egypt.  Landing planes there will get quite expensive, while UK can quickly get ground troops there from both India and Egypt.

I did the math.  My Japanese zeros are just barely out of range.  I can land (basically) my entire German Luftwaffe there.  You can hit it with (what?) 4 inf, 5 fighters, 1 tactical bomber, 2 tanks, 1 mechanized and a coastal shot.  I could defend with 5 inf, 3 fighters, and 2 tactical bombers.  Its dicey.  Very expensive for both of us.  But I think you are like an 80% favorite even if I land strat bombers there just get more pieces in the Middle East.

If I lose 3 fighters, 2 tach bombers, and 2 strat bombers, that might be my game.  I may have to let it go. This sucks, you planned too well.
