Wow, keeping all of my Japanese units alive in Yunnan is huge. That should happen about 15% of the time, but I usually lose all but one of my ground troops…

Yes that is big. Not nearly as big as having an intact BB Bismark and sub in the English Channel. Rolling well.

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.
