Yah it’s a common mistake to forget about that. I did the same to ksmckay recently. It’s quite devastating
-
In fact, I’m thinking that could be the game. I’ll play on for now but without that move you would have lost Hawaii. Not for the win because you have the Philippines but I’m not sure the IJN can escape now.

No I didn’t need that move to save Hawaii. I had a ton of air that could land there. I already calc’ed your chances were like zero.

Ok. I was only looking at what did land there.

Ok, that’s it. I’m not sure that battle would have been enough if it had gone my way at 30% but at least if would have given the axis something.
I should have given up Celebes a couple of turns ago, wasted a couple of transports, ran out of destroyers but mostly I think I played Japan ok. Yet they lost. Too much allied pressure do you think or did I do something wrong I’m missing?
-
gg!
yah you trying to hold onto celebes cost you elsewhere .to be sure.
as far as your Japan play, well it’s mainly too much focus on land and not enough on navy. that did you in.

Japan lives or dies by its navy

I think you’re right but you also can’t ignore the land. So like all things A&A there’s a balance that you need to get right.
Thanks for the game.
