Man it’s so great to have you around. I’m glad to know the rules.
Is Australia an island for purposes of landing stranded fighters?
It’s actually slightly in my favor and obviously I’m hoping for much better than 3 units left! :-D
If I pull this off, Japan will have maybe a 40% shot at Hawaii next turn. Which I can live with. Either you regroup for a turn or two or I get another turn to reinforce Hawaii before the hammer falls.
Ok, now I just pretty please need Japan to whiff or get sub par rolling!

if by that you mean 51/48…… this should be a pretty well balanced fight.
for OOL this round, take: tilts, subs, destroyers, carriers
@seththenewb:
WHOOOOOOOO!
14 hits first round!
depending on my rolls, that might be the game…
You have 2 cvs(d) left if you do that, that’s what you want?
I calced it earlier to being 53.7% me :-P Or 66% if you kept the carriers for last like the program defaulted to.
@seththenewb:

yes,
and with 20000 calcs the battle is 51/48, which is statistically close enough to be 50/50, with only 1 or 2 units each left for whoever wins
You got 11 hits first round. I dumped the cvs, bb tilt, kept subs, and dumped 4 destroyers. Subs got one hit. On cv?
ya
8 more hits
it is not game you just take hawaii and hold it.
wait a second did you just take japan’s destroyer before his carrier?
I did . . . that’s what he stated in his OOL and I asked to verify.
@seththenewb:
8 more hits
all ships dead,
then take tacticals
then fighters
Whew, that was just what the allies needed. US survived with sub, 7 fighters, & 2 bombers. I don’t know what the TUV swing on that was, but it was huge!
Don’t split your forces like that next time, I’ll take 50% odds every time in that situation. :-D
where is your stuff landing?
you might not be able to take back hawaii or hold it. hehe

I was counting on you attacking it actually. I had a choice of giving you a 25% battle and a 50% battle, or two 40% battles, and I judged the one in sz25 to be more important so I did it like this.
You were not supposed to win with 10 units left. That is fucking ridiculous. Btl calc had 51/48, with either 2 units left for me, or 2 units left for you.
just fucking ridiculous, that is all i have to say!
i fucking hate dice
well it was a 50/50 fight veqryn probably expected it to be a closer battle. the TUV swing is kind of what you needed considering the allies income disadvantage.
