Yes you are really messing me up.  The UK was counting on the United States to save them.

It appears the time has come to abandon…. Cairo.

I had absolutely no idea what to do with UK Pacific.  I went totally vanilla and hunkered down in Calcutta to await the coming invasion.  I figured I’d make a little bit of a fight for Sumatra (since I had no further use for that transport) and I am going to try to box in your Japanese transports off the China sea.  I know I missed some obvious plays… but I have absolutely no idea how to take advantage of the extra turn of builds.

[innocentbystander]

Basically…. while the US is neutral… it is virtually impossible for UK Pacific to protect all its holdings from the Japanese.  You are going to take… whatever you want to take.  All I can do at this point is try to keep my losses to a minimum and crank as much money as I can in the interim.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Yup, you get alot of extra money for a round, and Japan misses out on so much money.

I haven’t even begun to think about my 3 turns in sequence yet (still grumbling to myself on my own stupidity at Trans-Jordan) but I have ask…. how long did you study the board for J-3?  I tried to cover every base which gave you an abundance of options.  I didn’t know if you were going to go for the islands, go for india, or what you were going to do.  Your builds I find very interesting.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

It was such a tough choice.  You covered the islands well and I wanted to trap you in India.  It was so critical that you didn’t come out and help China regain the Burma road.  It can be a tough naval battle in the Pacific coming up.

I am convinced, that when I play Allies, Japanese infantry never miss…
