I don’t think Rus will hold out much longer, so I’m taking a gamble.  Going for Japan.  Might need OOL.

holds with 4 ftrs

[Guest]

DM where were all those ftrs supposed to land if you won?

[DarthMaximus]

The 4 ftrs from Sz 47 would land on the 2 AC brought into battle

The 3 ftrs from Sz 57 would land on the 2 AC from Sz 47 (they would have moved to Sz 51).

The 2 ftrs from Sz 56 would land on the AC from Sz 56 (it would have move Sz 59)

[DarthMaximus]

Definitely a risky battle, but it had decent odds for where I felt I was in the game.  I really needed 7 hits in rd 1 though.  I was hoping for 7 to 7, but I might have been okay with 7 to 8.  But 5 to 8 was a killer.

No need to continue.

I really messed up when I let Ind fall after the IC build.  Such a stupid oversight.  I had nothing to really gain by defending it so light.  Should have just brought over the Armor that was in Trj.

Good game.

I’ll post the result.

[Guest]

Oh wow I see about the ftrs. That could have been a big mistake on my part would have positioned my forces differently for sure. Thanks for the game and good luck in your other ones.

[DarthMaximus]

Thanks you too.

Yeah, its always tricky when you get that many ACs and Ftrs in the Pac.  They can cover soooo much space.
