please use second file. I decided on changing the Japanese NCMs

sorry, I’ve been going back and forth on this. I’ll stick with the first file. It is the one where a large chunk of the Japanese fleet is in 37

@gamerman01 one inf on each transport. There should be one in 36 that also has an art.

@JDOW I thought I had to do it because if I didn’t he would otherwise have been able to stack Yunnan on round 2. I probably just needed the one round though as I just needed to do enough to prevent him from taking Yunnan with China. But yeah, that was a battle that went better than it could have.

@farmboy need scramble orders for 109 and will likely need casualty choice for normandy

@farmboy also very annoyed that i put that sub in 108 and not 118. For some reason I thought it was more than 3 spaces away from the French.

@gamerman01 2 first round hits. My thinking that that is good enough to assume max d going forward and that you won’t want to conserve the AA.
