Alia iacta est...
196 11/29/2023 8:27:00 AM Sep-Dec 1942 Allies Message You are giving me difficult decisions. I had planned the rest of the turn and after the many failed attempts to get a "3" card, I had settled down to play
- a card for a 50% chance of freeing Alaska
- a card (the perfect one) to get PoW
- a good card for next turn to help achieve PoW then
Not perfect, especially not with so many cards, but I have only 3 ASPs and need all three to securely get Alaka and Hawaii. The overland options all seemed to risky and farfetched, especially with only "2" cards.

But then in your last move you evacuate Bangkok... Suddely there are loads of clever moves that work in that area and that really hurt you short-term and long-term, but I can't get Alaska with it and I can't play a card into FO. I tend to do moves like that, but I also lose games because of moves like that. It feels like an (unintentional) trap, specific for me. Indochina/Malaya is such a fun area with a unique tactical feel ...
