Wheatbeer (axis) vs vance (allies) G40 A3

[wheatbeer]

5/6 hits is less likely than 0/6 … you sure you want to go with that?

If you do, I’ll lose 3 destroyers for round 1.

[Guest]

Yes, we’ll stick with that.  Fair is fair and I owe you one bit of leeway for giving me a lot of leeway with screwing up TWO battles!

[wheatbeer]

As a rule with naval combat, especially high stakes combat, it’s best to get any scramble/kamikaze orders, then roll 1 round and ask for OOL.  I might also have considered rolling kamikazes at the US destroyer and cruiser during that US4 to have a better chance of downing some bombers (not sure if I would have done that, but just saying).

That is a rough blow for the UK though.

[Guest]

yes, you’re right.  I think I forgot all about the kamikaze symbol in that sea zone because i tend to save those guys for j6.  Anyway I have to go clean up my yard becasue there is big snowsotrm coming here tonight and I don’t was a huge mess to clean up in the spring. I’ll be back to do anzac later

[wheatbeer]

No problem, sorry about the poor luck though.

[wheatbeer]

Those are some terrible dice.

If you want to reroll SZ19 for the UK (kamikazes and all), I would be fine with that.  And then try again with ANZAC.

You had a good strategy and I hate to see it backfire so miserably.

[Guest]

Yeah that was pretty sad.  I am hoping to actually take Japan before Russia falls.

OK so I am going to accept my fate for the UK attack but re-run the ANZAC attack because that was just ridiculous.  Here goes:

Japan will lose the Carrier and take it’s chances against the French dest.  Fighters land in Manchuria.

[Guest]

OK carrier sunk
I lose the carrier, destroyer, cruiser, and 1 fighter
