XPAD-01 Dairy Qyrn (AXIS) vs Team MountainHIGH

@Cow:

No takesy backsies for units used in combat. No extra unit for a battle after rolls were conducted. No rerolling, just take the first set of rolls. Those are the main principles I care about.

Sorry Cow, but 1st, I did not roll for my opponent.  Not sure why you said I did.

Second, there is no way to both “take the first set of rolls” AND “no takesy backsies”.

That is because the Forum rolls came first, AND the forum rolls were Seth adding the fighter he forgot.

So, either we take the first roll and accept seth’s take back.  Or we use the second rolls and don’t accept Seth’s take back.

Or we could use the forum rolls and subtract 1 hit for the USA and also have USA retreat after 1 round.

Or we could just kill 1 of my g-d damned destroyers, and move on.

Using the first set of dice rolls (the forum dice), and then retreating after round 1.

The results are:
1 hit from sub, tilts Japanese carrier
2 hits from other stuff, kills 1 japanese destroyer and 1 sub

2 hits from my stuff, kills 2 american subs (i assume)

americans retreat

Here is the savegame, with the results edited.  Lets move on.

FYI from now on, my policy is, no rewinds, edits are allowed only if a noncombat move, placement, or takeover of an empty country.  no edits to add units or subtract units from combat will be allowed.

seth, if you wanna lose something other than 2 subs, just edit it yourself.

oh, and I will not accept that battle going any longer than 1 round.

so just use the savegame above, and do the ANZAC turn.

Here are two beautiful options I made.

I am still considering which one to do.

In both of them, my transport off dutch new guinea will die, and probably also my destroyer.

In both, my forces at sz6 by Japan at the end of the turn are enough to take Hawaii on the next turn, unless USA blocks.

If I go with the Australia savegame, obviously he kills my troops in australia, but hopefully I can hurt whatever he sends in after me.  It can then turn into a gradual trade of units, which I will win since I have the production advantage (plus he always has to keep something in his capital or a blocker, otherwise i just take the capital).  Both my fleets will survive, and I don’t seen much he can do about it other than pump out infantry as Australia, and build more fleet as USA.

If I go with the Hawaii savegame, then I am still in a position to take Australia, but I am in an amazing position to take Hawaii.  USA will have to put up 3 blockers around Hawaii and 1 above Australia in order to stop me.  However, if he does do the blockers, then I have made no progress towards any goal.  Plus, Australia could go behind my defenses and start taking Java islands, etc, and my fleet can’t reach that far if he puts a blocker there.

Either way, it looks like it will be a few more turns til anything happens.

Cow, what do you think of my saves?
