I think that is it. I decided to lose the Bomber as the R2 casualty. YOUr three fTs ditch into thr sea. I moved Air back to SZ6 from China. I will scramc;e all three Fts , if you go all in. Max defence, please.
What a headache ( of my own making). Have fun with your counterattack.

I have looked . There is no counterattack. I ddi enough to ensure SZ6 is safe.

Thanks for being so gracious about trying to resolve the sea battle.  That’s the connundrum about taking cv as hits.  If the defender takes hits to the cv, it makes the defense stronger, so the attacker retreats.  But if I take the fighters as hits, the attacker continues.  Not having an isle or empty cv in adjacent sz was costly.

I think U.S. lost 76 TUV, more than Japan.  Didn’t have enough cheap units to absorb hits.

I was not aware it was that much .
Was too much for me to turn down. I
Love a risky attack amd I was aware that you had no landing spot.

I should hope not . Uou are the weak link.

76 was what I thought the USA loss was, which actually was 86.  I just calculated Japan loss at 66 or net +20, not as bad as I had feared.  USA 1 cv, 4 ftr, 2 cr, 1 sub.  JPN 1 cv, 2 dd, 1 bomber, 2 tac b.  USA absorbed 2 hits with damaged bb and cv that will repair at Hawaii, but ditched 3 ftrs.  USA move caused Japan to pull back from Southeast Asia and go defensive, thus reducing builds in China by one unit, and not building any mech.  Jpn will lose 3 exposed TT’s this round and likely a DD, plus the 2 DD from the sz16 battle.  The USA presence is also reduced.  USA built loaded cv and 2 DD, Jpn built empty cv and 1 dd.

I am not playing the Pacific at all well, I admit. We can’t win on either side, I fear. We have both made bad decisions and moves. Is still fun though.

I swapped the Inf placement and decided I ddi not need the Sub in SZ6. Hope that is okay. I had thought you would have done  America by now, Ed.

JPN edits fine with me.  Unseasonably warm 75 degree weather and the Olympics and pondering various USA moves delayed my turn.  Will post later this morning.

Arrghh, this is so frustrating.  My AA hardly ever hit planes that attack me.  But my bomber, strat bombing on its first combat mission, is hit, never inflicting any damage to IC.  At least let me do a few turns of damage for the 12 bucks I spent.  :cry:

It is pick on Adam this  turn , is it? I will quickly expand  and win: careful!

I will assume no scramble in 97. If you disagree, discount all dice from this upcoming 97 battle and we will roll fresh on the forum
