@DeadTom:

Okey dokey! I hope Aussie can still hold against Japan.

[DeadTom]

I think I’m going to surrender. If this were dice, I’d move my fleet to 54 and reinforce Queens, but with LL my fleet would certainly be destroyed. I’ve made a number of mistakes in this game. Well played on your part.

[MagicQ]

GG. I almost lost 6 Pacific victory cities. That is lucky.

[DeadTom]

Yeah, on J7, I should have built 3 bombers and an airbase in Malaya. That would have given me 87% on NSW. I went with a more conservative move thinking that I could strengthen Asia and come back with reinforcements to get 100%. I underestimated how much the US could get there and I didn’t expect that you could dead-zone the sea-zones around Australia.

I might have been able to grind out an economic win, but I let the Med fleet die thinking that I was closer to Pacific victory than I actually was. I thought at that time that you had to take India B7 even with my conservative Japan turn. That turned out to be a major miscalculation.

[DeadTom]

Better rolls in 54 on J6 and I certainly would have gotten NSW, but that’s the way it goes sometimes  :-P
