14L arathorn (Axis) vs Ziggurat (Allies +15)

[arathorn]

I will take off a bb instead - so there will only be 1 BB that will roll.

Rolls: 1@3; Total Hits: 11@3: (3)

[arathorn]

Ok - You have to choose 9 casualties - we’ll finish rolling here.

[arathorn]

Here is my BB that will roll alone:

Rolls: 1@4; Total Hits: 11@4: (4)

[arathorn]

You have 14 subs - 3 cv - 1 dd - 4 cruisers - 2 damaged bbs and 6 ftrs.

You have to allocate 9 hits from airforce and 1 hit from bb

[Ziggurat]

Take off cruisers, last destroyer, one whole carrier and 2 american planes. Battleship will hit american sub.
