Actually, looking at this while I’m more awake: The UK Pac airforce (2 ftr, 1 tac) goes to Java.

uh, no, 1 UK ftr stays in Calcutta.

Dang, this is a close thing everywhere. If you don’t mind, I’d might move those guys around together with ANZAC (they’ll have no roll-based battles, I’m just gonna pick out that transport by the salomones)

more UK NCMs:
Inf Persia goes to Northwest-Persia
Shan State goes to Burma (or, rather, stays there in the first place)
1 Inf from Malaya goes to Shan State

…I just hope that French DD wins against the Japanese sub. Otherwise I might be in trouble.

Hm, automatic posting doesn’t seem to work. US attached.

I reconsidered some of the Russian moves indeed, you were right that I was putting a little bit too much emphasis on defending Leningrad.

I also edited your transport in sz8 away which I forgot to take with my bomber from Hawaii (I missed my train yesterday so I took the one leaving at 6:20 this morning - I’m pleading the insanity defense…)

You’re doing some pretty interesting stuff in the med (I think, at least). And I admit you’re forcing the US to engage a bit more in the pacific than I’d actually like. Let’s see how this is all going to work out.

UK attached. I re-rolled the UK combat move once, as the first time the result was:

Iraq: 1 Inf, 1 ftr, 1 tac, 1 bmb vs 3 inf: 1 hit for me, 2 hits for Iraq after one round
Yunnan: 2 Inf, 1 Art, 1 Ftr vs 3 inf: 1 hit for me, 3 hits for Japan after 2 rounds

That was just more than I could take right now (in particular with you attacking Szwchuan and not loosing a single plane). The Iraq roll was the same on the second try (so I guess I’m still cooked) and I took one more Inf in Yunnan to bring my odds above 90% (which I guess also means I’m in deep trouble, spending my UK infantery like candy there).

Count it as a win for you if you want, but I want to see where this goes without two freak rolls in one turn.
