War has been declared

@FMErwinRommel:

I’m game to try Garg’s suggestion, as a separate continuum (Back to the Future).  Since it’s so abrupt, the allies would be caught short footed.  It would be a crazy game.  How would you modify the game’s underlying politics to override the existing alliances?

But first, I want to play the current game out for a short while to see how close I could get to a Pacific victory.

I’m not in.

[Desert_Admiral]

@FMErwinRommel:

S.A. & D.A.:  scramble ANZ and U.S. ftrs in Queensland against full Japan fleet?  I will roll dice after your scramble orders so you will know how many hits for your OOL.

Scramble our planes.

[FMErwinRommel]

Only 10 hits on the allies out of attack of 35 units with a power of 102.  What is your OOL?

[FMErwinRommel]

1 of 13 dd’s and subs hit; 4 of 12 cr & ftrs hit; 5 of 10 bombers,TB & BBs hit.  102 power /6 should = 17, not 10 hits.

[suprise attack]

Tip the CV’s and the BB’s then the ss and 1 dd

[FMErwinRommel]

tip 4 cv, 2 bb and sink the sub, that leaves 3 hits, 3 dd’s not 1, which country?

[FMErwinRommel]

I chose 3 dd’s, leaving 1 ANZ and 1 U.S.  Round 2: 15 hits  Need new OOL.

[FMErwinRommel]

The 5 allied ftrs that remained for dice round 3 all hit, and each died twice, which is no consolation to me.  I took more hits than calculated, but still had a net TUV of 89 and net TUV of about 123 for the turn.  In order to save 4 of 5 CVs, I had to lose excess ftrs and 2 bombers.  Because there were no excess ftrs to protect them, my bombers had to go to Phil.  I would have liked to have used all my ftrs from Phil in the naval battle, but India is precarious.  Should be interesting as to how ANZ/US protect both Queensland and the currently unguarded capital.  What I would do for more loaded transports in sz54.

[Gargantua]

I guess the big question now for the US is… to Liberate France or NOT?
