US 6

Buy (66):

2 sub (12)
1 dd (8)
3 fig (30)
1 ac (16)

Combat:

Sz26: 5 sub, 1 dd, 1 cc, 1 ac (Sz10); 1 dd, 1 ac, 1 fig, 1 tac (Sz12 land Mid); 2 fig, 1 tac (W.US land Mid); 1 fig (E.US land 1st ac); 1 fig, 1 tac (Sz 89 land 2nd ac)

That’s 5 sub, 2 dd, 1 cc, 2 ac, 5 fig, 3 tac - do you scramble?

[tinydictator]

Yes I scramble.

OOL: 1st hit on BB (x2), 1st hit on AC (x2), sub, 2nd hit on AC (x2), Tac, Crs, Ftr (x6), 2nd on BB (x2)

If things would go extremely well for me I might consider pushing the second hit on the ACs behind the Crs.

I admit that I got a bit sloppy. Didn’t see the Tac in WUS for example.

But whatever. It should be more or less mutual destruction. You may prevent a Japanese Victory in the Pacific by this. But Europe is still mine.

[Pakitho]

Go time! Since you don’t have a dd, I’ll separate my subs from dds and your planes from your fighters (first the cheaper units) and run attackers before defenders.

5 sub, 2 dd, 5 fig, 3 tac, 1 cc, 2 ac v 1 sub, 6 fig, 1 tac, 1 cc, 2 ac, 2 bb

Man, you’re not going to be happy about that…  :roll: I sink 1 sub, 2 dd, 1 ac and damage the other ac.

Also forgot about the build:

[tinydictator]

wow, in that first round your luck was ridiculous! you had like 4 hits above average and I had one below average.

[Pakitho]

Yes, but I’m afraid this is all heading for an odds-evening lucky strike for you on the eastern front…  :|
