277 10/29/2025 5:48:00 AM Jan-Apr 1943 Allies Message Thanks, it was a great game, and good luck for the next round ! : )
276 10/29/2025 5:35:00 AM Jan-Apr 1943 Japanese Message I think you probably had it if not for Tojo. China and India would have been a long shot to get out before you could either liberate something or get to 8 hexes. The Central Pacific was probably wide open to you in the next few turns.

I appreciate a very fun game! I definitely drew an absolute monster of a starting hand, and then got some good dice turning CBI into a grind.

Thanks for the great competition!
275 10/29/2025 5:28:00 AM Jan-Apr 1943 Allies Discard Strategy card #36: 3 / Operation Cherry Blossom: Bougainville Landing
OC: 3 EC: 5

Message from Allies:
I don't have that bad of a last card, but I seem to lack a carrier to be able to both carve a path through the ZOIs and also support landings, be they in the Philippines or in Malaya.


I remember thinking I could probably win this if only Tojo did not interfere, and here he is.

So this is it, congratulations !

273 10/29/2025 5:13:00 AM Jan-Apr 1943 Japanese Play Strategy card as Event #43: 1 / Tojo Resigns: Moderates in Power
If the game turn is 1944 or later, this card must be played as an event otherwise it is a Japanese option to play as an event, an OC, or discard. Reduce US Political Will by two. The Allied Manchurian Invasion card's prerequisite has been met. Flip the game turn marker from its PM Tojo to its Tojo Resigns side as a reminder. RESHUFFLE: If this card is played as an OC or a discard, reshuffle the Japanese deck at the end of this game turn. This card may not be played as a Future Offensive. Remove from play if used as an event.

OC: 3 EC: 0

I have bad news on what I've been holding. I think there's a couple very long shot possibilities with your last card, but it'd be a challenge.
