Once again it all comes down to the dice……
scramble and OOL orders?
I’ll assume you scramble 3 fighters and roll the first round. Then you can give me your OOL
damn I forgot about the kamikazes. I guess I need kamikaze orders too :-P
I’m here, hang on.
Yes scramble 3 Fighters. For Kamis, I’ll send 1 to each Cruiser, and 1 to two of the Destroyers, leaving one in reserve for later. I’ll let you know the OOL after we resolve the kamis.
Oh, and if you’d rather just do your turn entirely differently, that is of course fine as well.
No Kamikaze hits. Round 1 I scored 11 hits. What’s your OOL?
Hang on, you only rolled one die for Destroyer and one for a Cruiser. I wanted to attack two destroyers and three Cruisers total.
No, I rolled for 3 cruisers and 2 destroyers.
Here is what it says in the Game History:
Japanese scrambles 3 units out of Philippines to defend against the attack in 35 Sea Zone
Kamikaze Suicide Attack attacks 1 destroyer owned by the Americans scoring 0 hits. Rolls: 4
Kamikaze Suicide Attack attacks 1 cruiser owned by the Americans scoring 0 hits. Rolls: 4
Kamikaze Suicide Attack attacks 1 cruiser owned by the Americans scoring 0 hits. Rolls: 3
Kamikaze Suicide Attack attacks 1 cruiser owned by the Americans scoring 0 hits. Rolls: 6
Kamikaze Suicide Attack attacks 1 destroyer owned by the Americans scoring 0 hits. Rolls: 6
Ah, I see. it nests the emails for that sort of thing. My mistake.
Yeah its because the emails are identical. Anyway where would you like those 11 hits?
Wow, some pretty poor luck there. OK, so I’ll go full defense.
SO in this case, that’s 5 hits on the ACs, and 6 on the subs.
OK so at the end of round 1 you have:
9 subs, 5 damaged carriers, 5 tacs, 8 fighters, 8 transports
I have:
2 subs, 5 destroyers, 3 cruisers, 9 fighters, 3 tacs, 1 battleship
Round 2 I scored 12 hits. Where would you like them?
The dice love you! OK, I’ll lose my 9 remaining subs, and 3 of the damaged ACs.
OK so at the end of round 2 you have:
2 damaged carriers, 5 tacs, 8 fighters, 8 transports
I have:
1 sub, 9 fighters, 3 tacs, 1 damaged battleship
Round 3 I scored 8 hits. Where would you like them?
2 carriers, 5 Tacs, 1 Ftr
