The over-take of the Carolines went well, despite a killer japanese defence with 2 hits.
@AndrewAAGamer, I have a question regarding these particular 3-nation-turns: Would you allow us to be able to change things that are not affected by dice for the nation’s preceeding? Namely US and Ch while UK goes?
If you do, I believe it would speed things up considerably. US + UK are hefty turns and trying to handle this with feedback is a challenging task.

Not finalized yet.
Now I want you to look at this position and tell me if you’re happy enough. After it’s finalized it’s likely stuck with us, depending on Andrew’s response to my previous inquiry.
I have one question which I’m not sure of, and that is to bring a second ac to z89.
I’d like to bring as little as possible, but still enough to be able to force the issue in Gibraltar despite reasonable maximum efforts by the nazis.
Now we’ll have 10 land and 4 air plus a cr shore-bombardment, with a follow up of 2-4 land, some air and shore-bombardment by UK.
I’d be crazy to try to hold Gibraltar as Axis looking at that.
Actually I play another game where Axis has succeeded with holding Gibraltar for maybe 10 turns, but at tremendous costs. They’re losing as a rock since both US and Russia overwhelms themin other parts of the board.
-
@trulpen I probably would bring the carrier to 89 because I think you can afford the setback in the pacific but not in Gibraltar. Otherwise this looks good although I suspect axis can choose to hold it for another turn.
-
I agree. Send the CV to SZ 89. You aren’t going to immediately threaten the Japanese with it, but you can turn the tide in Med + Italy + Operation Torch. You can always send it back to the Pacific once the beach head is established.
-
Ok, then it’s settled. We max up towards Europe. Sounded like it’s unexpected, but it was part of my plan already in US1. Wouldn’t have made a stronger threat from z101 anyway.
-
Now the chinese have 16 to buy for. 1 art, 4 inf or 4 art? I love art with them, but they’re still in a position were they are on the defence. Still leaning towards art, putting pressure on the japs.

Game History
Round: 2 Purchase Units - Chinese Trigger Chinese Artillery Supplies: Chinese has their production frontier changed to: productionChinese_Burma_Road_Open Chinese buy 4 artilleries; Remaining resources: 0 PUs; Combat Move - Chinese 2 infantry moved from Shensi to Kweichow 1 fighter moved from Burma to Kweichow 1 infantry moved from Yunnan to Kwangsi Chinese take Kwangsi from JapaneseCombat Hit Differential Summary :
-
My suggestion.
-
The point of attacking Kweichow with 2 inf is that I’d prefer if J can’t land air there to protect the stack.
-
Absolutely agree. Kill Japanese inf at anytime with China. It’s their main advantage…land forces
-
What about the buy? 4 or 5 units?
-
Actually, I think that 4 inf, 1 art is stronger here.
-
This early in the game, I buy artillery because I’m never sure I’ll be there again.
-
Point is that I’d like to maximize primarily the defence.
-
Every extra unit is very valuable. I’m going for the 4 inf, 1 art purchase.
-
But of course only if we’re sure that we’ll be able to hold Yunnan for another turn.

This was the chinese. Now we need to keep Calcutta safe, but also get stuff into Yunnan with UK.
-
the next concern I have is defending India from next turn.
Disappointed, we can’t kill lone transport without sacrificing CV, but hey that’s the gameI would plan on 2 inf + planes take shan State. Send 1-2 AA + 2 mob inf to Yunnan.
Ftrs return to India to defend against SBR
The tac ftr can go back to Yunnan.
Pull back 4 inf+art+1AA and I believe you will defend at 20-80 against J3. So he won’t do it, but after taking down the rest of the DEI, we will need to plan for more reinforcements.I guess since India is safe, we don’t have to move from Yunnan so it is safe for a turn as well. I which case, yes, go ahead a max out # of units.
