I surrender. Short game. Japan is finished already. Good job. There is no reason to play this out for 5-6 more rounds just to prove the Axis can’t win. I know when I have a chance to beat you.

Missing with my first 7 dice at the UK battleship while the battleship rolled 3 hits was the coup de gras for me.

Losing those other planes to that outlier battle at Yunnan was bad enough. Average hits by the Chinese was 4, but 8 hits were rolled and I lost 4 planes. Often people will roll @4 dice and not get those kind of rolls.
