forgot to move my unused trn from z37 to z19. edit

I really blew it not holding HAW……That might have won me the game right there…

@toan6ca:

I’m not sure that holding Hawaii for this round would have really helped you that much, apart from getting the 5 IPC bonus (and denying me 5 IPC’s) for one more round.  I would have amassed my fleet this round off Johnston Island, including additional transports from the Europe map if I really needed them, then taken Hawaii back next round.  I think I’ve got 85% odds of taking back India this round (if I want to), so apart from the 15% chance of holding India, I don’t see how you could have won the game just on holding Hawaii alone.

Obviously it was costly for you not to back off of Hawaii last turn and this was an oversight, but as mentioned previously, in IPC terms you only lost that battle by 12.  If you would have blocked with the destroyer, that’s a loss of 8 IPC’s right there (assuming you don’t hit back).

I  thought, perhaps I am wrong, that if Japan held HAW and IND through (until) their next turn (meaning USA or one of the allies would have to liberate the isle’s (OR IND) this turn) then the game would be over due to Japan’s VC count? In fact, the trn’s I bought the turn before were going to be used to land 8 plus land units along with fgt’s into HAW to ensure it was held through their next turn. Am I mistaken?

@toan6ca:

If I wasn’t able to liberate Hawaii next turn, it’s conceivable that I might have been able to liberate India twice in a row.  Leave a couple infantry behind in West India from the first attack so that I could attack with them (plus a lot of planes) after you re-took India next turn.  Not sure how many land units you could attack India with the second time, so I might have had barely enough to re-take it twice

Sorry I’m typing this from work so may be way off, but from my memory this doesn’t see too far fetched.

far fetched is my typical strategy!!
