I need OOL for SZ41.  UK gets 3 hits to start off, which makes up for getting diced in Iraq.  I would have hoped for 1 at a minimum and been thrilled with 2.

I have another mistake for the US I need to fix, the Carrier air in SZ42 was supposed to land in Java.

@miamiumike:

and by all rights you will be dead on defense, right?

Not your day…

I need to place 1 more hit.

It’s hardly game-ending, it just puts the follow-up ANZAC attack at 50% + odds.  Then I have to deal with a possible wipe-out of the US fleet off Java.

Well, let me know what you want to do, just so it’s clear.

Okay.  The game is saved awaiting the Japanese decision on another hit in SZ41.

@miamiumike:

New OOL - first three hits - carrier, carrier, bb

Last hit - cruiser

I’m more than happy to leave the game as-is if that’s your preference.  Since I rolled dice before catching my mistake I can’t complain if you want to hold me to the move.

No worries, I know it’s frustrating when the dice are holding your strategy hostage.

I assume if you’re here online, that these children are all too young to play the analog version of the game.  It sounds like you have just the right amount for a full set of players!
