Unfortunate rolling for Japan in that Naval battle.  Regardless, Japan was losing it’s entire Navy due to the American counterattack.  The combined economy of China + ANZAC + India was going to be enough to contain Japan without needing additional US spending.

In Europe, things are looking bleak for the Axis.  I don’t see a chance for Italy or Germany to capture either Moscow or Egypt any time soon.  The invasion of Norway is a major impact on the German economy.

Italy is good but they will be spending most of the income defending Europe.  It is hard for them to help out much in the war against Russia.  Time is not in the Axis’ favor since the Allied Economy is so large.

Curious about a few things:

• When the US subs went to the USA, did I scramble my lonely fighter?  That is why I built the DD so I could get the option

• Was I not able to use my suicide tokens on the ANZAC and USA transport at the Philippines and Manchuria?  I am still not locked down on those rules but my whole game at the Caroline’s was about destroying those boats.

• I still have a big pile of Japanese money for ships.  I want to build them in the Japan sea zone.  Is that an instant fight with the US ships if I drop them there?

• lastly subs don’t block.  Can a transport simply pass right by a sub when traveling through sea zones if it is only a sub there?

1.For some reason the game did not scramble your lonely fighter even though I pressed yes.  I rolled separately for it and on the last round, it killed one of the subs.  That is why I did an edit to remove an American sub that the fighter hit.  Stranage.

2. There was no naval battle so you couldn’t kamikaze.  They can only hit destroyers, cruisers, battleships, and carriers.  Never transports or subs or planes.

3.  you can build them in the Japan SZ. There will be a battle the US turn unless I move the subs away.

4.  There are some complicated rules about transports moving through the sub-containing zones.  I think that they need to be escorted by another unit, but I haven’t needed that rule for a while.
