Turn 22. Mar/Apr 1943. Allied #5. Asian/Pacific Theater.

Korea.
(1) Major tactical, possibly even strategic, error committed by Japan last impulse in Korea.
(2) Japan opted NOT to move the Korean Terr 1 hex northwest into the Mtn, which would have flipped the Terr due to rain (last impulse).
(3) However; this move would have prevented the USMC 2nd div for being able to cross over from the Korean island and march directly into an undefended Seoul.
(4) To discourage (prevent) a low odds desperate assault against the USMC 2nd div now holding Seoul, the CW debark a mot div from the China Sea into Seoul.

Siam.
(5) The Ind 3rd inf corps moves 2 hexes into the jungle during the rain & flips.
(6) But this corps is moving (slowly ever) towards the captured of an ungarrisoned Bangkok and conquest/liberation of Siam.

U-boat/Sub Offensive Summary.
(1) The phasing player in strategic warfare (bombing, sub attacks) this turn has gotten the short end of the stick.
(2) Last impulse the allies knocked out 3.5 Germany PPs at a cost of 7 BPs (-3.5 BP deficient) when the odds were slightly in the allies favor (i.e., air-to-air odds were even so expected strategic resolution odds tip in the allies favor).
(3) This impulse, the odds were in Germany's/Italy's favor; however, no allied CPs were sunk/aborted & Ge/It lost 7 BPs in subs sunk/damaged to allies 1 BP (-6 BP deficient).
(4) This impulse does show that the usefulness of "partial" escorts & patrols when action priorities limit naval moves (in this case for the RN).
