G18L - variance (allies+24) vs Tizkit

Lets keep him on the land and try to preserve 1 infantry for me.

Thought I considered all your possible shenanigans… but apparently not or I would have put planes on the land.  :p

I’m definitely learning a lot from playing you… I don’t think I’ve had a game go this long where I’m playing Japan.  At least not where it mattered.

I’m actually rethinking this.  If you haven’t done it yet I think I’d like to change my mind to scramble.  If you’ve already done it then no worries, I’d like to see how it plays out either way.

Yeah go for it if you want to do a video.

I had considered you doing that to wipe out anything built off of FIC but overlooked the land.

Still a costly IPC trade for you though… will be interesting to see how that plays out.

Gotta think for bit on the next turn… will hopefully get Italy done later today.

Important battle so just want to confirm loss orders…

dmg capital ships->subs->destroyers->carriers->cruisers->fighters->battle ships?

If you want we can go round by round.  Up to you.

First round is 18 hits total.  I did 3 on carriers to move it forward past the sub shots.

Ok, you hit 18 and I killed 7 carriers, tipped 2 battleships and killed 2 subs

On Round 2 I got 18x hits.
