Non-com, unit adjusment & placement. Japan collects 12 IPC’s after raids. Begins research on elite Nintendo assault squads. Even the Bushido edition Mario cannot save Japan from the Economic disaster that is the Emperor.

Retreat the bomber. That’s why I hate the lack of low luck rules of some sort. That was ridiculous. By normal odds, I should have taken it with 2 Infantry and a Mech. Instead, you have 4 land units left. That was a 7 unit shift on the front, plus economy and momentum for Italy/Germany.
If you would have kept the Japanese bombers - let me know. I peeled off your casualties based on ability to inflict max damage. We can go back and look at the rolls if we need to.
After a couple games, I really need to introduce you to a relatively easy low luck system that Steve and I use. I have a really hard time accepting crazy dice for either myself or my opponent. It doesn’t reflect strategy, only luck. Yuck. I’ll say it again - this is a strategy game with dice - not a dice game with strategy. A huge difference.
I’m done venting.
I await your decision to scramble in SZ97.

Since there is some absurdity about this here battlefield, I’ll go ahead and tempt the fates by scrambling.
-
Ok! I’ll try to be a good, non-complaining opponent… :-)
I don’t blame you for scrambling!

See? That’s what I get for complaining. I had a good round, and it makes me look like a doofus for crying about the dice.
My subs hit the two destroyers, and my destroyer hits one of your fighters.
I lose a sub, and continue on with two destroyers… the subs can’t hit you.
