How do you want to take the casualties? 1st round, we each got 3 hits.
I took your first 3 - tip 2 BB, tip 1 CV
Mine - tipped 3 CV2nd round, I got 3 more hits for you to take. TripleA suggests sinking the damaged CV and 1 undamaged CV. Let me know your thoughts - thx!
-
If possible, let me know OOL as well.
-
@Booper Yes take out both carriers, and I have a couple ideas about what to take for the next losses if you want to ask again after next dice roll
-
@Booper that’s right! We’ll see how it pans out
-
Hey, I made a mistake with the India SZ attack. I thought the Anzac planes on the 3rd carrier would survive and land, but it turns out they would be trapped and die.
Are you ok if I reserve 2 CV hit points, and pull that CV and the 2 Anzac fighters out of the battle entirely, like they never entered?
Thx for considering. Would edit after the battle ends.

In the interest of keeping the game moving, I went ahead and executed the edits as I outlined - you had some super good rolls in India and SZ39 as well. Hope you’re OK with it.
Lots of carnage for sure!
-
@Booper Yes I think you made the proper correction, I was confused why you were sending the carrier into that battle lol.
-
@Booper Looking at the board, I feel it is somewhat early, but due to multiple errors in my play early on, I don’t see any path to victory for the Axis. Barbarossa is essentially over, as I cannot push you back, let alone hold the line. I did the calculations, and I will not be able to punch through the Middle East, which was my last resort to pummel the Allies, thinking I could then hold onto India as well. In the Pacific, my errors with not protecting my transports early hurt my ability to reinforce the South Pacific, and now what is left of my Navy will mostly be taken out this next turn, meaning Japan is left with no ability to transport troops, and there is a stalemate in China. I can’t win the game with just Italy, haha. What do you think?
-
Yes, I do think the Allies are in a decent position to delay the Axis. Allies generally play for time, and the income advantage. Axis moves fast, or goes for income (or both).
Things could change with a significant battle, but Japan is going to be hard-pressed having lost 10 or so planes at this point, and not having a significant income. Losing those 2 transports early has snowballed into Japan not being able to hold FIC and Malaya, which makes the land battle extremely challenging. Germany is still OK, but it will be a grind, but possibly doable. Losing Norway does make it tougher, and of course Italy is probably the strongest of be ever seen.
Anyways, happy to continue though an uphill battle for the Axis for sure. Or if you want to swap sides, or re-match same sides, or just bid for it again, or take a break - could do that.
