@JDOW:

Sir, before I move Japan. No idea why but I made a tiny missclick during my German deployment.
2 inf+mech in France +1 mech in SF instead of 2 inf France and 2 mech SF. Doesn’t make sense to deploy a mech in SF.

If you allow the edit, please remove a mech in SF and add in in France. If not, please proceed with the posted map after I posted Japan.

best,
Tobias

Procrastinating to plan German ahead at the moment. Will certainly do both over the weekend.

On it, will post this weekend.

Could you predict the dice in 36? You moved the 62 fighter to 42 during combat move phase. What if my DD misses? ;)

Scratch that, you did not attack with all figs, problem solved.

Need more time. I realized I need to plan Japan now as I could smash a bomber into the Allied fleet now with Germany.

Sorry for the delay. it’s time now.

Sorry about the mech edit, I took accidently the wrong one for the attack. I planned to block Kaz all the time.

Too bad the Bomber in 42 missed. A hit would have raised the odds for the big battle from 52% to 59%.

In case General Zhukov didn’t realize during his hesitation phase: Montgomery meanwhile deceased, the endless stay in the African desert and lately jungle made him fragile, yellow fever did the rest.
Also, I guess you should look for a replacement for MacArthur, looks like he became mad. He is meanwhile talking about invading Nord Korea, but not to fight Japan but to remove the Russian influence!!!? Looks like he is ahead in time already. Also he is constantly calls the Chinese “traitors and backstabbers” and “dirty communists”. He developed a crazy plan to drop an A-bomb on the Chinese army in Shensi.

Stalin is doing fine though, at least the doctors don’t report any different except that they mention is advanced age.

Stalin should enjoy is transient wealth, it will decline for sure. Russians will experience a second Barbarossa by a massive German Juggernaut that will be more powerful than the first one  :evil:

However, the massacre at Java will come first. I wish I could just roll the battle and decide after it, but I have to do the stupid buy before which is kind of complicated I guess. If my stupid German Bomber would have hit :( In this case I could at least carefully blame the dice if I’d lose. Now, it is a 52% coinflip which only gamblers would call bad luck if it goes wrong.

I will procrastinate the battle until I return from holidays. So you have some time to think about replacements for Montgomery and MacArthur ;)
