Edit attached, TT not worth it.

As for OOL (btw I see it as 30% for you):

BB dam - 4 AC dam - US sub - 4 ANZAC subs - 5 US DDs - 2 ANZAC DDs - 3 ACs - 1 US DD - ANZ CR - US CRs - US Tac - US figs - AC - BB

But depends on hits in respective rounds, if your DD goes early, I might want to keep a sub or two. In the end I see no issue between us, handle it as it were your own units. Only one alternative, OOL round by round, but again I wont make an issue out of this.

[Trajan01]

Wow. I think that is literally the worst dicing in a major battle I’ve seen in any game.
I wouldn’t believe it (esp. using internal roll), but I’m not creative  enough to come up with this result.
Sorry about this one…dont know what to say.

1 small edit.

[lexgreat]

Can you tell me why I did not unload the ANZAC troops? Mind if I put them on Java?

[lexgreat]

Forget my request, I need to learn the hard way.

In any case, my subs did very well and I need 4 hits for them, pls. Surface and air still to roll. Unsure of your allocation.

[Trajan01]

yeah I really don’t know why I took the Carolinas.
2 hits cv lose 2 dd. then lose 1 ftr 2 cvs 3 ftr then last dd

and I didn’t see your guys on the TT. if it was a legal move to put them in Java then pls go ahead and replace them

[lexgreat]

na, forget it. they died on the TT, just ANZAC ground units I did not offload last turn.

[lexgreat]

those subs hit with a vengeance. Dont feel bad about your win, this won is also above average.

Two things:

Pls consider three US figs in Norway, not in Normandy.
Pls look at casualty selection in Syria if it meets your approval.

Got it on the US fighters. No issue on the OOL.

Can’t believe I missed that amphib into Syria and the Subs to hit Carolines at the same time. Both are eminently avoidable, and between the 2 it wipes out a large part of the Java Sea win.

Not sure I’m going to go on here. Will sleep on it and let you know.

Syria only possible because my two French inf beat your two TJ guards last round. More German air is all you could have done.

[Trajan01]

I missed that you could offload a TT there…just dumb. I either could have let you use your good luck with the Fr Infs to kill my Tk, or I could have brought enough air from Germany to really defend it. I, of course, did neither.

So, with that I will resign this one and congratulate you on a game well played. Even despite the win the Java Sea, my stupidity at the Carolines will prevent Japan from really threatening the US. With full focus on Germany, you’ll be able to sqeeze me in the 2-front war.

Despite your usual protestations, I think it was basically mistake free game from you. And after 2 thrashings, I think it will be a long time before I try a G1 DOW again!

I’m going to go down to a single game for a while (sleep schedule has gone off track lately…), and I think I need that to be a league game to be sure I get to 8. But when life returns more back to normal, would love to continue this series - but with a new bid or at least a new opener!

[lexgreat]

kind of you to say, and no real protest. I think I did ok. I really dont know how to do a G1 DOW myself, but at least the second time I did not force you to use it :-)

There must be some advantages to it, though.

No problem with new games, go for League. You surely will qualify. One game at a time is wise, I think. Just let me know.

[Trajan01]

You didn’t force me either time…after having it used against me effectively, I wanted to try. But must not be a fit…
