4d6<=2: 4, 5, 3, 2; Hits: 1
2d6<=2: 3, 6; Hits: 0
3d6<=3: 6, 3, 2; Hits: 2
4d6<=4: 2, 4, 4, 3; Hits: 4

I think I can safely assume these 7 hits,
USA chooses 5 subs, hit to CV, 1 DD

Defense,
[dice 5d6<=1]
[dice 3d6<=2]
[dice 5d6<=4]

A withering defense,

I think I need to stop and ask you to choose your first round casualties instead of my assumption, and you have the benefit of knowing your roll

If you keep your carrier, the subs get surprise strike on it but are then out of the battle

If you keep your destroyer, I can take the subs as casualties to your plane hits. I’m not sure what you would choose, so I’d better not assume.

[gamerman01]

I would post the map, but it’s exactly the same as before, you can use that map to delete units or whatever works for you - sorry for a little confusion!

So we both got 7 hits, which is
.83 hits more than average for me,
and 1.83 hits more than average for you

All of our 4’s hit!

All my planes will crash if carriers are damaged

What do you lose for round 1?

[oysteilo]

@gamerman01

5 subs, 1 destroyer and tilt carrier

[oysteilo]

I have a hard time following, øet me take a closer look

[oysteilo]

I keep a destroyer and a damaged carrier

I am very sorry, I no doubt could have presented it better

I’ll just blame Triple A

OK, maybe I won’t have any ships to try and save against the coming heavy bombers, let’s see what happens next

[gamerman01]

Also, I fouled that up, thinking you would only have 1 ship remaining instead of 2, I apologize for that, but you did cut right through the misinformation!

[gamerman01]

Hm, this is a little like the battle of Midway,

Japan decides that you sunk both carriers therefore all 4 planes have 0% chance of survival. But I am Japan, so I can do that. They already had their funerals.

Japan also has to lose 3 more units, so 3 subs along with 2 carriers are sunk

[gamerman01]

Aaaaaand I also messed up the order of combat, thinking this was the last one. So I was supposed to conduct amphibious assaults first. And now I see ANOTHER reason the combat order matters.
I was supposed to decide whether the battleship off Shantung was going to bombard (and hence stay there) before rolling 26.

It’s likely nothing will even survive 26, but I will ask you to trust me that when I did the whole combat movement I decided that battleship will NOT bombard so that it can move. I doubt you care because I could need that supporting shot. I still don’t know how 26 will end up but I’m not doing this (I have to make a bombard decision after knowing 26) to take advantage.
At least I caught it after 1 round of combat and not after the whole thing :p :p

[gamerman01]

So for round 2 we have

Japan also has to lose 3 more units, so 3 subs along with 2 carriers are sunk

Another mistake. I guess I’m not awake yet.

Hit to battleship, lose both carriers, lose 2 subs

[gamerman01]

So for round 2 we have

Japan
2 SS
2 DD
1 damaged BB
3 FTR
1 TAC
2 BMB

vs
USA
1 DD
1 damaged CV
5 FTR

Go for it!

[gamerman01]

It probably works to roll from Triple A from here, but I’ll keep it on the forum for consistency

Subs first but it doesn’t matter,
[dice 4d6<=2]
[dice 3d6<=3]
[dice 4d6<=4]

[dicebot]

4d6<=2: 2, 4, 6, 4; Hits: 1
3d6<=3: 3, 5, 1; Hits: 2
4d6<=4: 6, 2, 4, 3; Hits: 3

[gamerman01]

Japan overachieves again,
We have a hot battle,

I will wait for your choice since you are available
Highly unlikely, but in case USA survives I need you to commit that you are losing the carrier

@gamerman01 i save a usa fighter
