L24 OOB Gamerman (X) v Stucifer (L+51) with Tech!

[gamerman01]

Thank you!

Just how much are the Japs going to keep America and India’s attention? This could get very, very interesting

[gamerman01]

Destroyers, subs, aircraft, I want to do this on the forum so we’re not being asked for casualty choices before we should be
I’ll post the map at each point.

[gamerman01]

We have the kitchen sink that Japan is desperately throwing at the Allied fleet complete with 4 transports at the Carolines. 5 bombers are looking zip right to the Carolines this turn to join them.

Will there be anything to join?

The TUVs will look really interesting after this.

Japan’s kitchen sink:
2 SS
2 DD
1 CA
1 CV
3 FTR
1 TAC
2 BMB

Technically subs would be rolled separately because they can’t hit aircraft, but it won’t matter here

Now that is a dice bailout
But what will the defense be?

Please use the map already posted,
Sumatra captured without loss, otherwise all the same

[Stucifer]

Oof, 7 hits. Hmm.

2 SS
1 DD
CV

Now I’m starting to feel guilty

Let’s see now…

[Stucifer]

@gamerman01 😂 you should, moderators aren’t supposed to be bribing the dicebot! 😜

[gamerman01]

Any surviving ships are going to be murdered, and I have 2 fighters that’re going to die here too

I have to stay to get the transports

Those dice were so good
I lose 2 subs and 1 destroyer

Round 2, there’s a lot of the kitchen sink left.

1 DD
1 CV

My subs are gone, I’ll keep your battleship and if you survive you can change it if you want

[gamerman01]

Allies retort with

I might actually pull off saving a carrier that might take out one extra destroyer :p

Japan loses destroyer and fighter

Kitchen sink still has

1 CV
1 CA
2 FTR
1 TAC
2 BMB

Battleship gives a good-bye kiss

Japan loses a fighter I guess, I can’t figure out what’s better, not much difference

SO

Japan gets super lucky, clearing with maximum survivors and a couple to possibly plink one destroyer. Maybe.

China gonna do what USA has so far been unable to
TUVs look wild, but with its lowly 97, China is UNSTOPPABLE

Me 'n the dice put a thumb in one of the 10 holes in the dike. Partly made up for the big blunder

USA with 3 tokens and 72! Back to you!
