15L G40 Luckyinmaroon (+20) vs. Gamerman01

@Gamerman01:

Oops, doing noncom and looking at my notes, saw that I wanted to try sinking a destroyer in the Pacific from Japan.  Of course it is unrelated to all my other combat moves - seeing the dice results had no effect on this decision….

Will you allow me to attack a destroyer in the North Pacific now?

I’m playing 4 games at once…
If you allow the late combat move in the other theater, you may go ahead and roll it while doing Russia if you want.

I’ll attack the one in Z7 and if my bomber survives, it lands back in Japan

And fighter from Caucasus to Rome…

And another fighter from Caucasus to Rome…

Those maps are the same.  I didn’t think the first post took.  I just sent one fighter from Caucasus to Rome  :roll:

Really wish I hadn’t forgotten the Japan bomber when the time came so I wouldn’t have to ask for your permission….  :-P  Europe victory looking quite inevitable, though

Right, no problem at all, and it’s easy to forget that.  Would you have taken Moscow back if you realized the major was no more, I wonder?

@luckyinmaroon:

ur german bomber first, my destroyer second

I really appreciate the understanding, and that there is no argument or snide remarks.  Thank you.
It was also too nice of you to roll a perfect battle for me  :-P but I guess we both know where this game is going anyway, right?  But thank you - you’ve been suffocating my Japanese so well all game and I set up this nasty counterstrike only to forget it at the appropriate time since I was focused on all the European stuff

I’m going to resolve Zone 1 next.

3 subs vs. sub, carrier, transport (and 2 fighters)
Does your submarine submerge, or fight?

After zone 1, I will be needing casualty choices for zone 3, although it looks pretty straightforward.  Damage carriers, then take the 2 subs (which will most likely be in round 1), then save 1 destroyer until I don’t have any subs, which will probably be gone before it gets down to the cruisers anyway, and take cruisers last.  So I guess there probably won’t be a stoppage for that battle as I can probably choose your casualties optimally, but I want to see zone 1 first, so this submerge decision might be the only interruption……

Thanks

Decided to run Amur, where I got punched in the gut

Now only 1 and 3 remain, and I need a submerge decision for 1 - see my comments and questions previously posted

Bummer, that’s a lot of waiting over a single submarine!  I’ll be back again in about 8 hours….  :-(

Awesome, thanks man

You were more than rewarded for allowing me to attack your destroyer with the Germans.
84% battle with average TUV swing of 92, and I got BLASTED with a -81.  So the Carolines and now Zone 3 absolutely blew up in my face, and this with a gang up on Japan strategy  :-P

You’re going to need another miracle to save London and the game, though, so fortunately I don’t have to throw the game board.  :wink:
