Rematch 4 player game (Orm, Peskpesk, jjdenver and Mayhemizer)

[Orm]

I (playing Italy and Japan) am the main culprit for the Axis disaster.

The optional rule for peace between USSR and Japan is not yet implemented. However, we had a house rule to simulate such a peace. And Japan demanded such a peace in this game. This was a mistake, in my humble opinion, as that allowed USSR to grow to strong for Germany to break their defences. That China suffered a conquest was not enough compensation for the Axis side.

[Orm]

Truly sorry for the extremely long delay.

Japan:
AMPH + 5 CP Fukuoka -> China Sea 0-box - Embark MOT Bonin Isl. (86,171)

[Orm]

I assume that Allies will search in SCS. No Japanese air added.

Will Allies add any air to SCS?

I’m not right now on my computer.

Nothing from China is flying. Are there any other planes in range as I don’t remember where this planes are?

I think Mosquito is in Philippines on a small island in range to fly China Sea box 4, it will not fly.

[Orm]

I'll take a look shortly, and edit in a picture in this post.

Edit: All three US planes are in Chine, while the CW FTR3 is in Palembang, Sumatra.

Thank you!

Mosquito to the highest possible box please.

[Orm]

No combat in SCS (7-9).

[Orm]

Just an update: I send the save to Germany some 10 days ago and I hope he will find the time soon to finish our impulse.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Turn ended with a roll of 4.

No partisans

[Orm]

I plan to post the Asis end of turn stuff tomorrow.

[Orm]

I've had a couple of crashes when going though the end of turn. I will have another go at it tomorrow.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

One question about Japan:

How many CPs stay in SCS? I guess some to keep Singapore in supply. You have currently 4 CPs there.

[Orm]

All 4 CPs in SCS stay at sea. Thank you.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Units destroyed in M/J 1945

Allies lost one bridgehead in Philippines that really hurts

[Orm]

Wasn't it Mar/Apr?

[Orm]

Are we waiting on something from the Axis side that I am missing? Just checking to make sure. No rush otherwise.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Wasn't it Mar/Apr?

You are currect

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No, just me trying to find time for turn end.
