That German defense was really strong, nice.

I’m quite uncertain the movement of my Japanese Fleet to a seazone without a harbour is a good idea, but every option had it’s disadvantages. Overall I hope this is the least bad option.

That whole mess with my turn in the Pejon game is really unfortunate. It will certainly not be the last time some questions arise. I hope there will be a solution in the future.

Anyways, I’d love to get back to our game… oh wait it’s your turn!
Why don’t you spend some time in lovely Hawaii? I heard there are wonderful beaches, your soldiers could use some vacation time

You think so? Do you think I should have gone harder for India or what do you mean?

I’d like you to elaborate, once these insights won’t affect the current state anymore.

As much as I already like my Japan play, I do have a tendency to not “seal the deal”. I hate committing to for example getting India, when it’s not bullet proof and when it’s sacrificing my position elsewhere. Even though sometimes that would be the right choice. It’s not my style of play, I prefer the slower and more economic approach.
