Hm, Trajan, I am seriously puzzled. You did not attack yourself, but offer battle off the Carolines?
Might be I dont have the map in my mind correctly after having a quick peep, and might be there is a huge catch (other than your subs in waiting), but I guess I have to ask you for your OOL. Its a possibility, and if I retain this opinion, sending an OOL with your R9 will speed up things. Due to the complexity it will have to be a precise one, but I understand of course that you might want to adapt to the amount of hits each round (in which case we will need a week if we keep our usual schedule :) ).

Hi Alex,
I certainly didn’t intend to leave that navy exposed. I posted quite late and may have missed something. I need to have Anzac combat into palau with 1 inf so you can only bring the air that you can land on the CVs. If you still want a shot after that - pls take it. Start with 1 hit each on the bb and cvs. Then Lose Anzac subs. After that I’ll try to post as quickly as ppssible -
Hi,
dont see any ANZAC combat move to Palau, but thats not the issue. As far as I can remember I can land in Marianas and / or Marshall Islands as well. All air other than bombers are in reach and land (theoretically) on the ACs or on any of the islands. Ie most air from the fleet and Phil land on islands, all other air and some from Phil / fleet land on the ACs in Caroline SZ (theoretically).
As I said, I need to verify, but I am pretty certain I can bring everything. If so you can certainly undo your Palau move, if you want to, up to you.
And since you won the game already, I think we should have that fun.
-
You are right go ahead with the attack. I will take back the Palau if that’s ok. I don’t have the board in front of me to make a decision on scramble but I’ll respond tonight with scramble order and OOL to the extent ppssible
-
Ok.
You said I can go forward with G9, bit tricky now with France and I can only rely that you will not do afterwards what you would not have done before G9.

I think you missed i8
-
And I just got home and saw the map.
Can’t believe I left London open.
But I’m not sure you have an attack off Carolines. -
Sry, I coming up later today.
Why do you think Carolines is not possible? Every plane i have other than the two bombers can land either on the acs or on an island. 3 from japan on acs, 2 fic on acs, 2 manchur on acs, 3 more from phil on acs (for a total of 10 on 5 acs), all other from phil and fleet on any islands that neighbour carolines (range is 5 from phil and 4 from fleet). Fleet itself can move three spaces.
Do I miss something? Not sure without map if 7 is correct number for all air that is not in phil / on fleet, but shouldnt make a difference.
-
Sorry I don’t mean that it’s not possible, you definitely have an edge. But it is close. i.e. it isn’t an “obvious error” that I should be permitted to take back.
I see you can attack with 13 Ftr, 4 Tac, 12 Super Subs, 2 DD, 1Cr, 5 CV and 2 BB
I defend with 10 Ftr, 4 Tac, 4 Subs, 10 DD, 3 Cr, 6 CV and 1 BB
I see you as a 59/40 favorite by a simple compute (although in practice we will probably take non-standard OOLs here). I see you gain approx 40 IPCs.
But all of your CVs will have to take a hit, so you won’t be able to land any of the planes you intended to land on them (although still legal to bring them).
And then the US comes back with 5 super subs to finish off some Navy (It looks like you will end up with around 3 damaged CV, 1 damaged BB and maybe a Cr left).Along with my defense of London, I must have taken stupid pills when I was posting this :?
-
Hm. The Simulator I use shows a 75% to 25% in my favour, but I guess those vary, and for sure I do not know if the one I found is any good. he is G40 specific though and includes super subs. Would the battle be low luck, the sim gives me a 99% win chance. So all in all I am happy with those odds. Of course one in 4 times you would win, thats a risk I have to take.
As for your subs, yes, true. But if I win the first battle then my own new super subs from Manchuria + DD and surrounding air will also come and trump your 5 subs. Or I build in japan and then your subs need to go there instead of my fleet. And so on :)
So, all together the battle is in my favour, but still admittedly risky. But its not suicide or too unwise.
And I never said it is an error. You can afford the losses, should they realize.
Just realize in your account you miss quite some Tacs, maybe this is why its only 60/40. Should be 8 Tacs (4 Phil, 2 fleet, manch, FIC) as far as I remember.
-
I think I missed the 4 tacs phi in my calc. And yeah I think you have to make the hit as strategically will give J breathing room even if the pacific is empty except subs after! Go ahead with I. I’ll post f and R tonight and should be able to give you a full Car OOL.
