You can change that attack if you want
I also realized i misclicked a nc movement of Japan:
the sub in the indian ocean should have been 1 sea zone more to the west to disrupt the Indian objective. I was surprised to see that India got the 3 IPC and then realized the sub was in the wrong sz
I also just learned in the rules that China cannot be convoy raided - i did not know that so far
I’ve rolled the dice and probably can only do worse. So, I’ll live with the Alexandria situation as is.
I would like to move the tank NCM from Iraq to Egypt.
You may move the Japanese sub in 61 to 76 and reduce UKP’s ipcs from 14 to 11.
