I’ll have to remember that I have LRA
12 years is a long time
The nice little white stripes on the wings will help remind me.

Range of 6 for fighters, wow.

[Stucifer]

I will be commencing my attack on the Malaya fleet shortly. I will roll on the forum similar to the Italian attack on 98, as there is an ANZAC cruiser + fighter in range for follow-up. And you might get lucky 😬

[Stucifer]

Admiral ‘Bull’ Halsey is put in command. Every man to his station. “Hit hard, hit fast, hit often”

The sub misses. My other units get 5 hits, the big guns of the battleship and the carrier aircraft striking true.

Any preference on casualty selection here? I do have one sub.

Oops, I’m coming.
Busy plotting Moscow’s demise during my G2 purchase vs. badger

[gamerman01]

I missed the sneaky ANZ cruiser that is the same color as USA

And Shan State, I see.
Not good

The sub missed… ok… so average roll at least
Maybe we’ll get TUVs down to a 1,000 before we’re done

I missed 2 US planes because of Shan State,
So damage battleship, sink both carriers

[Stucifer]

Disaster for the IJN. Only 3 hits back round one. I take a sub, a fighter and a hit on the battleship.

Round 2 begins…I am assuming maximum defense at this point for you. I get 4 more hits, that will leave you with a battleship and a fighter, unless you prefer to see if I retreat after your counter if you take the Battleship?

[Stucifer]

[gamerman01]

Thinking

[gamerman01]

I’m keeping the battleship to keep a counterattack possibility alive

[Stucifer]

Your counter-fire gets 5 hits this time, I’m considering my options…

[gamerman01]

It’s always interesting when one scores more hits in the 2nd round than the first. Sometimes a lot more

[gamerman01]

It’s amazing how missing one tiny thing could cost you a game of G40, I love it

I can’t figure it out, seems MARTI sometimes puts them in order, other times not.

[Stucifer]

Lots of excitement for sure. I got lucky with only one hit back to finish the job. Will consider China and UK soon and post those too!

[gamerman01]

Not in a hurry, dealing with flying badger and developing my unstoppable barbarossa
Big airstrike of UK fleet in 97, he had perfect rolls but the Germans have all 12 starting planes

[gamerman01]

What’s great is, it seems a Jap counterattack on 37 is coming, so the TUVs will go down further

[gamerman01]

I just have to be happy no tech
