Ugly Ugly Ugly.

Like I said... what a GREAT way for a NEWBIE to learn <AND> to let the seasoned guys get a "buy" in the tournament!

OK... here's what little happened in my turn.

STARTED with 105 VP (to Japan's 5910). Ended not much better with 440 VP (to Japan's 6115).

US:
Destroyed CA off Wake Island
Destroyed DD off Puerto Princess
Destroyed Inf. off Manilla
Destroyed Sub off Guam
...oh, and I lost a plane to Aparri

COMMON...
n'much

CHINA
Destroyed Inf S of Ha.
Destroyed Inf E of Taiyun
Injured Inf E of Taiyun
Injured Tank & Inf off Foochow

DUTCH
Injured Para W of Sibu
Injured Something in Davao

Oooh, not pretty. This will be SO easy for you, Hawk! (But, thanks for tolerating my mistakes while I learn. Awesome opportunity).

Oh, hell... take our artillery and the whole blasted army why dontcha!

The slaughter continues... (but, I'm learning stuff). And, I think there are somewhere between 3-8 cities that are just teetering on the fence before they fall into Japan's territory. Fascinating to watch because I can see it coming, and I don't know what in the bloody hell to do about it.

All that being said, the allies put up one hell of a wimpy fight:

US
Did a little damage in Aparri (the city proper) as well as a little damage to that nasty transport and CA sitting next door. (Of course, I didn't manage to finish them off, mind you.
We did, thank goodness, sink two destroyers - one off Guam and one off Honolulu.

Common... appears to be sitting on their bloody arses.

China... appears to be liking its wounds, which are too numerous to count.

Dutch managed to sink a transport by the newly Japanese city of Donggala... but discovered (surprise surprise) that it was empty.

Here's the kicker: JAPAN is so strong right now that Hawk got more points during my turn than I did.

VP (Jan, 42):
JAPAN: 11300
ALLIES: 1410
