Next, lose the rest of the subs then a DD, then the CVs, then the last DD and the Cruisers. After that I might need to see if you still have a sub.

@Stucifer About round numbers, our first and second games we could have made it to 6 rounds. But we did/could not due to victory conditions and there being no way to overturn them. What was the time for you guys like, was it skewed? We did a lot of pre-turn planning to the Axis were spending way more time than us. I would recommend that, no one else we played quite did that on the scale we did. It is also the first tournament for many folks like myself, usually in GenCon you can at least make it to round 6. My strategies as the Axis also aim for a round 7, which… became an issue on the last game, (we only did 5 rounds). All of our opponents spent way to much time as the Axis. Even the last time our Allied opponents spend almost 2 hours more than us, and spent 10 mins on purchasing. I get it, btu still they should be doing more pre-planning. The USA’s buy’s do not need to and should not plan for anything pass a round 5. All you need to do is defend Hawaii and maybe Sydney, and drop some drops off in Europe or something. My tip is, first buy is all Europe, then the rest of the game is all Pacific. And that worked really well for us! Does that answer the question?
