The ANZAC hunter killer pack is on the move.  Do the Japs want their subs to participate in battle off the Phillipines?

Yes, all 5 Japanese subs fight.  I should not have moved the entire Phil fleet against DNG in combat, so I could have held a DD back once I calc the whole picture.  I also considered putting 2 tt’s in sz36, but they could have been hit by U.S. cv moving and then ANZ ftr attacking.

The Brits need to give a lesson on how to shoot down bombers to the Russians!  Brits 1 for 1.

Could be the Luftwaffe bomber pilots are much better than the Italians!

Combat Hit Differential Summary :

triplea_42152.0_Fre8.tsvg

Too bad that the U.S. bomber didn’t get hit by AA from India instead of the Italian from Egypt.  Italy could have used a break.  In my other team game that just concluded, the American bomber squad in Manch was decimated by Jpn AA until it was left with 1 bomber.

Look at that Combat Hit Differential!!! Horrible for ANZACS.  Went many rounds with no hits.

LOL Excuse me but Dawgoneits bombers have faced AA on about 25 occasions with only 1 shot down.  The axis are in no need of any “dice breaks”.

4 hits on 28 dice at two… ouch D.A!

You came close D.A.  It was worth the risk for a chance to sink 3 tt’s.  Not using your DD’s so I couldn’t scramble my 3 planes was smart.  Because I had committed all my Phil DD’s in combat elsewhere, I was vulnerable.

Lol, I was thinking the exact same thing Garg.  Japan has gotten some rolls this game along with Dawg’s German bombers…

But the Allies are still hangin on!

Here’s the conclusion to my prior post about my American bombing campaign against Japan.  After having a negative TUV on bombing raids over Japan, AA losses had reduced the number of bombers to that of the potential defending ftrs.  But the odds of hits was low, ha.  I went for one last raid.  3 Amer bombers intercepted by 3 Jpn ftrs and both sides rolled snake eyes.  1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36 for each times both opponents = 1/1296?  What are the odds that both sides would have the same extraordinary die roll.  Only 1 plane on each side survived the 1 round battle where every unit had a power of 1.  Japan temporarily revived, but eventually, my allied position made it impossible for the Axis and they conceded the game.

The ANZ sub battle had a 2/3 chance of success.  Jpn had a 1/3 chance with average of almost 1 unit left, which turned out to be correct.  Jpn also rolled poorly, just not as poorly, 4 out of 34.  In the real WWII, a high % of the U.S. torpedoes were duds for the first year or more.

ENOUGH TALK!  I want DICE! I want ACTION!
