@mr_stucifer Was letting my brother borrow my laptop, that’s why the save was posted under his account. Note edited to take Palau with Marine.

@mikawagunichi Scramble & Kamikaze orders?

[mikawagunichi]

@mr_stucifer Send 3 kamikazes each at the 2 cruisers and full scramble.

[Stucifer]

@mikawagunichi both cruisers down. I only got 7 hits with no sub hits.
Casualty choices?

[mikawagunichi]

@mr_stucifer What you have selected is good.

[Stucifer]

@mikawagunichi Sorry, need one more casualty, wasn’t sure if you wanted to lose a carrier, cruiser, or risk losing the destroyer

[mikawagunichi]

@mr_stucifer Sorry, kill a cruiser.

[Stucifer]

Round 2

I got 1 hit with sub, took it on your 2nd cruiser. Need 8 more casualties-

You got 13 hits round 1, I tilted my BB, lost all 5 CV, and 2 sub so I still have 2 subs for now.

[mikawagunichi]

@mr_stucifer 4 carriers and 4 tac bombers

[Stucifer]

@mikawagunichi just realized I missed bringing the bomber in from India that I used like 3 times in practice games to figure out if I wanted to attack. 🤦‍♂️

[mikawagunichi]

@mr_stucifer I also missed that when figuring how to position my units. And your sub hitting on Japan’s turn affected the math quite a bit.

@mikawagunichi Scramble fighter to Trans-Jordan?

[mikawagunichi]

@mr_stucifer

The game is over if you don’t re-take a capital here. Do you want to re-do UK’s moves?

[Stucifer]

@mikawagunichi Nope, I’ll go ahead and concede. I wasn’t watching the VC numbers. Lesson learned!

I did have a chance at a 1-2 to retake UK with very good odds, but I can’t hold it against German buy, and Russia can’t retake Stalingrad. So best I can do is get a couple more turns before you win regardless :)

[Stucifer]

@mikawagunichi Good game, that was a delightful rematch :)

[mikawagunichi]

@mr_stucifer I was a little surprised you wanted to keep going after London fell, but since you probably retake it this turn I was happy to keep going, you never know what will happen. Thanks for the game! A little surprised Axis won both times at a slightly below average bid.

[Stucifer]

@mikawagunichi We’ll have to play again if you’re up for it, with a new bid this time :)

[mikawagunichi]

@mr_stucifer I am ready for the tiebreaker match. Start the bid whenever you want.
