i guess you win now! and you complain about dice after this and my american batle last round that was supposed to be -18 and ended up at -120???

Hahahah! Good game. There is no defence now (realistic)

[Karl7]

@oysteilo

Ha, GG!

Yeah, brutal rolls. But I think your US assault on Japanese fleet was sub 50%?

[oysteilo]

around 20% but that does make a difference for the expected outcome, it is still -18, ended up -120…

[gamerman01]

I got 38% on 26 fleet…

[gamerman01]

But that would depend somewhat on whether Japan loses the destroyer in the first round or not…?

[gamerman01]

Eh - with 3 carriers, surely not

[gamerman01]

Wake was the right attack
And then Karl’s bombers starting rolling 1’s… ;)

[Karl7]

@gamerman01

Oysteilo was being sober and judicious to talk me out of quitting after the Hawaii debacle

[gamerman01]

Yes, you still had that very strong follow up attack

4 bombers scores 3 hits on defence, not bad! I would say its ok with 3 hits on offence!

[gamerman01]

Actually, to not point that out he would have to be kind of a weasel… :smile_cat:

[Karl7]

@gamerman01

I think I only had 3 bombers. 4 fts at 12 vs 5 units at 7… dicey.

BUT – you kill the 2 inf and block 26, game over

you score 2 out of 3 bombers in round 1. But no inf score, so, its okey. In round 2 you score with 1 bomber and 2 inf. It means 4 bombers score 3 on defence and 4 inf score 2 on defence. Bombers work as fighters and inf work as armor!

that was the only possibility at around 34% chance for you to survive
