Witt and his Private Panic, 40 Balanced

[Witt]

Use the second post. I messed up. I thought it was only the 3 Japanese mailland FTs Fts that had to die or I had to move a Carrier. The 4 planes from Java Sea moved 3, not 2. I needed to survive with 6 not 7 Air. One Carrier has to collect the third surviving Tac. Yoy will see that I decided to add a Ft, which could have landed on Paulau.
Not easy playing Japan with the Balanced Mod. Have fun!

[Private-Panic]

Guessing you had some luck in sz 33 as I had made the odds approx equal even w/out those fighters when I did my goes. Or I got it wrong? Never happened before!

Probably do my turns on Saturday.

[Witt]

I think I was always going to win, with units spare. I do not use the calculator, as you jknow. My attavk value was 10 more, with an extra unit or two, although you had two extra carriers.
annoyed to throw away the Paulau Carrier. Could have kept the Cruiser and lost that stupid Tac and had all 3 Carriers alive.

[Private-Panic]

Sorry Leo - Julie asked me to go to her Mum’s and do some jobs today.

Have done the simpler games since I got back, but this one will take some time and I am due elsewhere for an early dinner (before going on to entertainment) in 20 mins. Need to get changed!

Will try to look tomorrow.

Cheers
Adam

Is fine. Have a good evening. Thanks for the message though

If at first you don’t succeed ….

Scramble sz 97?

[Witt]

Not to 97, but can’t I stop you unloading in 95? If I scramble you lose the TT, don’t you? Isn’t it unescorted?
Am at my parents’ for another hour or so, so cannot look for a while.
If you can look, tell me if I am right, please.

[Witt]

I have looked and am right (naturally); you will lose the TT and Inf. Do your go and the attack as it is  and edit the TT back to Egypt afterwards.

Thanks witt. Actually I made that same mistake once before, so am kicking myself.
