well, it is a dice game.

You hit with 1 Kamikaze, so the odds were still 60%+ and the dice still fuckked me.

Battle in 35 Sea Zone
                Americans attack with 1 battleship, 3 bombers, 3 carriers, 2 cruisers, 3 destroyers, 7 fighters, 1 submarine and 4 transports
                Japanese defend with 2 battleships, 5 carriers, 6 fighters, 4 tactical_bombers and 5 transports
                Units damaged: 1 battleship owned by the Japanese
                Units damaged: 4 carriers owned by the Japanese and 1 battleship owned by the Japanese
                Units damaged: 1 battleship owned by the Americans and 2 carriers owned by the Americans
                4 transports owned by the Americans retreated to 21 Sea Zone
                Japanese win with 1 fighter and 5 transports remaining. Battle score for attacker is -14
                Casualties for Japanese: 2 battleships, 5 carriers, 5 fighters and 4 tactical_bombers
                Casualties for Americans: 1 battleship, 3 bombers, 3 carriers, 2 cruisers, 3 destroyers, 7 fighters and 1 submarine

[Karl7]

The most insulting was the last roll where it was my BB vs your ftr and I missed.

[snake11eyes]

Actually according to the bcalculator once you lost a cruiser to a kami you were only a 35% chance, I think it actually worked out very well for you to kill as much as you did

[Karl7]

really?  Just losing a cc could swing it that much???

hmm, I will check

[Karl7]

Hmm, DS Kelly says it wold swing to 47 for me… geeze, hard to believe…

[Karl7]

well, you won this game when I forgot to move my Brit dd to block your fleet from taking India… that was an inexplicable error by me

[Karl7]

also, I am stating to come of the opinion that the game needs reforming.  The US went all in against Japan and still could not break them even by R7.  That is crazy.  A 12 bid is too low.  I should have gone for 20.
