I accidentally answered yes to a useless fight in sz109 when I had intended to move the sub in the noncombat phase.  I edited accordingly, hope that is okay with you.

Well I think that roll probably seals the game for you.  I needed average rolls in the US and ANZAC attacks to take out the Japanese ships, which was my chance to slow/stem the Japanese tide, but didn’t get it.  I used max defense for your ool (normally I would have asked you, but after my pathetic first roll it did not seem like it would matter), I suppose you might have lost the cruiser instead of an AC.  Let me know if you want to change and re-roll accordingly.

I had orginally intended to go two rounds with the Americans, but when my first round was a little weak and you took damage to all of your carriers, I thought I could get the carriers while preserving more of the American planes so instead I retreated after the first round.  In hindsight I should have stuck with the original plan (although given the AnZAC first round roll I am not sure it would have mattered too much).  I still think you have the decided edge at this point, but maybe I will get lucky somewhere down the line.  It has been a good learning experience for me (and a fun game).  I definitely need to come up with a better American strategy against a J1/G3.  Of my three prior games (all face to face) where I was on the allied side (I was UK and ANZAC) our opponents did Sea Lion both games, which meant Japan was doing things alot differently than a J1.

Btw, no hurry on your move, I am pretty booked this weekend as well.

Boy those guys in the Ukraine must have been all new conscripts (not a single hit from all six of them)
