now i know yopu have no weather card, there is lttle chance to defend. We are as early as 1943 and i can conquer a first hexin Honshu matching victory conditions.
495 3/13/2026 6:10:00 PM May-Aug 1943 Allies Message Hey jonathan, i can see you still need to play games to improve your skills, but would you mind to end ours here ?


I know you have your work and familly - so do I. i am young ! - but as far as a gaming experience it is slugish. Tactically, i have coronet card in hand o i can just set a foot in japan.
494 3/12/2026 4:01:00 AM May-Aug 1943 Allies Message Now be mindfull, because with a couple of CVs, I can cover all of Japan with allied zois.
493 3/12/2026 3:58:00 AM May-Aug 1943 Allies Message Note that I also could have surrounderd japan with careers but it would have mean overkilling your units in Tokyo and Iwo Jima and would have been less efficient.

Lastly... Sorry about the suprise attack ! I did not plan for that !
492 3/12/2026 3:57:00 AM May-Aug 1943 Allies Message After offensive move there was a line of undisputed allied zois going from Australia to China. This prevents supply flowing by sea. All there was to do was to prevent supply flowing by land. A choke point being hex 3008.
491 3/12/2026 3:55:00 AM May-Aug 1943 Allies Message I want this to be clear for you.
To activate units they need to be supllied by a supplied HQ.
HQ supply is drawn through an unlimited in length supply line that can switch from land to sea through harbors an unlimited number of times.

If the Japanese control hexes 2108 and 2109, they become Trans Routes for the remainder of the game and any Japanese HQ that can trace a continuous Trans Routes via the Kwai RR to Rangoon has +1 added to its efficiency rating if any units are activated in Burma or Northern India.
