Balladeer (axis) v alexgreat (allies + 20)

ah well, shall we (likely) decide the game here and now with an attack on the Japanese fleet? hmmmm…

well, you have an island to land air on, not that ideal for me, but after a night’s sleep I decided to attack, hope it goes ok to make ANZAC follow-up possible. Not sure anyway if I would fare better with conservative gameplay here.

Will send file for round-by-round casualty choice. For my subs, I will damage your BBs. Will ask for third choice if all three hit.

If it ends well for me, fine, increases my chances in the game, if not, at least ends that play-off stress for me, a good thing also :)

One sub hit, I damaged one BB.
After that 9 more hits, so good round for me, before you retaliate, of course. Pls allocate those 9 hits!

Rd was bad for you…
Rd 2 is more balanced for now, pls allocate 6 hits.

I know how you feel…

Your 10 air hit 5 times, now I am asked casualties. I really need to know the total hit number before I chose my casualties, I will roll your ships here in the Forum and then edit results, ok?

Your ships still to fire: 6 ACs at 2, 1 CR at 3, 1 BB at 4.

Is that ok?

2 BBs of course

you went offline, but since what I asked for is conforming with rules, I am sure you have no objections.

So you had 5 hits from your 10 air, I will now roll for the ships: 6 damaged ACs, 1 CR, 2 damaged BBs

Rolls: 6@2 1@3 2@4; Total Hits: 46@2: (1, 2, 1, 4, 2, 4)1@3: (6)2@4: (6, 5)

So 9 hits in total for Japan. I will lose bomber, 3 subs, 2 DD and 3 fighters, then retreat to 56.

Game didnt allow to retreat to 56, guess because standard tripleA route move is through 55 to 42. Go over 56 as better protected from Japanese ships.
