Champinoman (Allies) vs Thurhame (Axis) 1940.2 Global

[champinoman]

Sorry dude, unexpected trip away.

It’s all or nothing this turn I feel. Scramble from Japan?

[Thurhame]

No scramble. 2 kamikaze on each of the 3 transports.

[champinoman]

Dammit! Forgot about the kamikazes.

[champinoman]

Just tried to do the attack and it wouldn’t let me assign the kamikaze’s to the transports. So I had a flick through the rulebook to check and found this:

“A kamikaze strike can target any specific enemy surface warship (not a submarine or transport) belonging to the attacking power.”

So I’ll need your revised kamikaze orders (and scramble orders if this changes them) before proceeding.

[Thurhame]

Dammit, I was depending on the kamikazes to defend Japan.

Oh well. In that case I’ll drop 1 on each cruiser and four of the destroyers. Still no scramble - I want the best chance I can get on the ground.

Japan’s next turn is going to be very interesting. I’ve refused to look at the numbers and just hope you can’t get the mainland back this turn.

Accidentally clicked “done” instead of “post” at the end of Italy’s turn, so I made a manual save and attached it to this post.

When do you want to take your last destroyer as a casualty in the naval battle? (I assume you want a by-power order for the other units.)

Combat in Sea Zone 6
Japan: 6 submarines, 1 destroyer, 4 battleships, 1 carrier, 1 fighter, 1 tactical bomber
United States: 3 transports, 1 submarine, 2 destroyers, 2 cruisers, 1 battleship, 1 carrier, 2 fighters

[champinoman]

Ok, I’ve been having a good think about this and have decided to just take the last destroyer after the cruisers (with a damage shot to the BS and Carrier first obviously).
