Man, that's just absurd. They've got about 6 main gun rounds left between both BBs I take it? [X(]

We got about 80 turns left in this 2day turn game(9aug45). I scored 900+vp this past turn.

[bigred]

Made it to 3apr45. Japs on complete run in SEasia. China in revolt against jap control. Not sure allied forces can withstand a coming counterattack in Korea.

Fleet actions seem to be resolved in allied favor. Allied complete command of all sea areas. Land and air is very different. FatR can win anywhere he decides to deploy is ground and air. Japan counterattack in Korea has begun.

good observation. Not as much as I would like. In Private email w FatR we agreed it was a mistake to go to Korea.
Japan can not stop a night strat bombing campaign if the allies get the bases in range.

Not all assault value is equal, especially in 1945.[X(]

Gunzan was an IJA 23 division 6 brigade attack. Half the attack force is disorganized. I bet all the casualties where in the independent brigades. FatR did reduce my fort by one level. I wonder if he can push me out.

Big Red, what's the date of your game now?

[John 3rd]

I've learned the difference in FORGETTING to make sure all my ID and TK Div upgrade after 1943. Mighty stupid and ole CR has pounded me pretty good for that (and other things)!

The date is hard to see but it is on the blue header strip for each post. Unfortunately, this means that all the previous dates are overwritten when the latest date is posted.
