Hmm, might not have been worth declaring war on Japan to save the Chinese troops for a round.

Italians regular : 0,67 British regular : -2,33 -
Casualties in z94? 3 hits (instead of 4,5).
Damage the bs is evident, but must be noted that if the carrier is damaged UK may retreat and the air will not be able to land.
-
Of course, UK may always retreat, but say Axis choose to dmg bs, dmg ac and sink 1 cr, then no matter the outcome of the defense a sneaky move could be (not saying it will be) to retreat.
In that case the air will die and G and I has 1tr, 1 des, 1 cr, 1 dmg ac, 1 dmg bs in z94. That’s a TUV of 59, but with no repair possibility. The fleet has 4 hp and 10 p.
The fleet has a move of 2 and may reach z95. On a note I had intended to move 1 des from z99 to z95 now during CM, in case there was a scramble. However, a scramble to z99 looks like complete suicide, so assumed none would be made. Will move the des during NCM.
If you instead keep the ac functional, advisable is to instead sink the 2 cr. Since there’s only 1 sub in the battle it might not be cruical to keep the des, but it’s always extremely annoying if that first-strike comes true.
Anyway, lets look at that option anyway. Then G and I would instead have 1 tr, 1 des, 1 dmg bs, 1 ac, 1 fig, 1 tac in z94. That’s a TUV of 68 and with 6 hp and 14 p.
To me it looks like you want to keep the ac undamaged, but it’s your call. I won’t make any assumption since it’s not evident and we don’t know the result of the defense.

damn… you are not a very good dice roller. When you took Egypt I thought maybe you had some sort of arrangement with the dice server, but as the game has progressed, I see that that may not be the case.
So, this is an interesting conundrum. Knowing that you are a darn Swede, I know that you are as sneaky as they come. Its like in your DNA. So what to do what to do… if I had only kept my sub back… -

The situation is pretty interesting. Gave as much advice as possible above, but not certain there is an objectively best choice. It’s a lot about chance, of course.
Yes, the sub would’ve helped a bit in the defense there.

German High Command has made a decision: damage BB and take a CR and the DD

The Brits press on.
Sub hit and here I think I can safely assume that the hit will go on the carrier.
-
But since you are available, I’ll await your decision.
-
Looks like you got busy. Because of the situation I’ll move on. Don’t think there’s any other choice really than to nick the ac, since UK has a lot of good dice left here.

yes, damage the carrier
-
Insane. Another >4 that only got 3 hits.
2 hits left to decide.
Remember there will be a des in z95.
Italy can open it up and G may boost the fleet with some builds in z95, but nothing looks really sufficient for the next round.
The fleet looks doomed, so UK may very well just retreat. Depending on the defensive roll.
-
I would kill off the air and keep the ships, because of the retreat option, but you decide.
