I’m certainly gonna keep trying to grind this out but that AA shot was pretty killer.
I don’t wanna hear any complaints about dice for the rest of this game.  :lol:

This is a fairly unused rule but I opt not to convoy India’s income for obvious reasons.  India thus has 5 IPCs but probably will not for long.

Round 3.

Thanks much pal!

If I may-

I’d prefer the strat that attacked SZ 6 go to Carolines instead of Midway.  However, I know dice have been rolled for China/UK/Anzac.  Even though those battles didn’t really have anything to do with the placement of the bomber, since dice have been rolled and it’s my goof, I’ll leave the decision up to you.  Thanks!

@Gekkepop:

The problem I see is that the current naval game is inherently unbalanced in favor of the attacker.

It’s supposed to work like that.

In the naval game, the force that is advancing has to have a defensive fleet.  That seems counter-intuitive, but it’s how it works.
Perfect example - the Allied fleet, when preparing for D-Day or some similar invasion, needs to be able to withstand any sub/air assault from the Axis.  Even though they’re on the attack in this theatre, the Allies must have much more defensive punch than offensive.
This is how the game is supposed to be.  It’s pretty much perfect as is, as far as unit cost and power goes.
Defense - Destroyers + Carriers - is pricier than an equivalent offense - Subs + Air power.
This way, America and Britain have to spend more than Germany does in order to make any sort of invasion happen.  In other terms, Germany’s position is more cost-efficient…in the same way that Germany must outspend Russia in order to make a successful attack on the ground.  I think we agree that this is how it should be.
I think.  :lol:

@Varn:

That was what I read on other posts on this forum on the topic, and then (surprise!) that is what happened when I tried it in game.

Varn makes a good point!  :wink:
