[Orm]

How about the AA?

[AllenK]

No thanks.

[Orm]

The Japanese pilots surprise even themselves. [X(]


Edit: The fighter pilots grumbles a bit about the naval guys stealing their thunder. (1 and 7 rolled for the FTR2)

The result of the air combat.

Seems that the informative message will appear below the other for more often in this version. [:(]

Same seems to happen when building units. A pain but not thankfully fatal.

Will China provide defensive HQ support?

There seems to be a slight delay in answering if there will be HQ support, or not, for China.

So I'll check whether or not China will use their AA to fire on the Japanese ground support. Japan send 2 LND2 with 3 points in ground support. Will China use the AA to fire on the bombers?

And lastly, will China select blitz or assault? If the final odds is 5:1 +2? Or what if it is 4:1 +2? Or what if it is 3:1 +2

Currently the odds is 41:9 +2 with up to 3 points more provided by the ground support.

No to HQ support, no to AA fire. Go with assault, thanks.

[Orm]

Final odds.

[Orm]

And after all that the attack on Changsha fails.

Warning to our Swedish friends. I will start looking at the game in about 15 mins (5:45 UK time) but I expect deliberations may take a while so I don't know how quickly (or not) we can get the game back to you this evening. Your opening set up leaves much to think about!

The French sail the Bearn with CA escort to the North Sea. Does the German fighter wish to intercept?
