If I have 2 infantry on Kwangsi when anzac attempts to land with its transport 2 units in Kwangsi, and 3 anzac fighters are sent to the sea zone to cover the transport, I’ll not scramble and instead defend with the 2 infantry against the 2 infantry landed by anzac. If 1 or 2 anzac fighters are sent to the sea zone, I’ll scramble 3 fighters to nab me some anzac air units. If UK has strafed me first or the target is Hainan, then consult about scramble.

To bomber thread readers:
I will build bombers again with Japan when the fleet is not in its home waters, when in Home waters I will add a carrier. Gotta keep that shuttle of men for Korea and Kwangsi going. I should be able to field 10 units every other turn towards India, with remaining clearing Russia and China from Korean marching by foot. With India unable to produce more than 3 units a turn, I should be able to overcome India in time. German bombers will clear blocking destroyers to assure this smooth transition. Belarus bombers are now in position to reach Yunnan directly.

The addition of 1 armor a turn was deemed necessary to exploit China’s limited mobility and Germany’s clearing ability.

I was so tempted to take Russia on turn 4, just to say that I had  :-D , but Germany needs the money more as Italy is expendable.

I would have loved to sink the UK fleet with an italian air base build in Belarus, but I would rather stay focused on Europe cities for now. The fleet will be there later.

            Objective Germans 2 Control Novgorod Or Volgograd Or Russia: Germans met a national objective for an additional 10 PUs; end with 92 PUs

Since this is turn 5, I only built 2 bombers as land forces are now necessary to secure Europe and to Reinforce the Russian Front.

I will scramble to defend German navy, 3 fighters vs UK navy and air, I am hoping 3 mech and 5 bombers can hold against 4 inf and a bomber in case he gets past the fleet. Either way, I should be able to liberate Berlin, although giving UK 92 is not ideal ;)
