I have a hard time following, øet me take a closer look

I am very sorry, I no doubt could have presented it better

I’ll just blame Triple A

OK, maybe I won’t have any ships to try and save against the coming heavy bombers, let’s see what happens next

Also, I fouled that up, thinking you would only have 1 ship remaining instead of 2, I apologize for that, but you did cut right through the misinformation!

Hm, this is a little like the battle of Midway,

Japan decides that you sunk both carriers therefore all 4 planes have 0% chance of survival. But I am Japan, so I can do that. They already had their funerals.

Japan also has to lose 3 more units, so 3 subs along with 2 carriers are sunk

Aaaaaand I also messed up the order of combat, thinking this was the last one. So I was supposed to conduct amphibious assaults first. And now I see ANOTHER reason the combat order matters.
I was supposed to decide whether the battleship off Shantung was going to bombard (and hence stay there) before rolling 26.

It’s likely nothing will even survive 26, but I will ask you to trust me that when I did the whole combat movement I decided that battleship will NOT bombard so that it can move. I doubt you care because I could need that supporting shot. I still don’t know how 26 will end up but I’m not doing this (I have to make a bombard decision after knowing 26) to take advantage.
At least I caught it after 1 round of combat and not after the whole thing :p :p

So for round 2 we have

Japan also has to lose 3 more units, so 3 subs along with 2 carriers are sunk

Another mistake. I guess I’m not awake yet.

Hit to battleship, lose both carriers, lose 2 subs

So for round 2 we have

Japan
2 SS
2 DD
1 damaged BB
3 FTR
1 TAC
2 BMB

vs
USA
1 DD
1 damaged CV
5 FTR

It probably works to roll from Triple A from here, but I’ll keep it on the forum for consistency

Subs first but it doesn’t matter,
[dice 4d6<=2]
[dice 3d6<=3]
[dice 4d6<=4]

Japan overachieves again,
We have a hot battle,

I will wait for your choice since you are available
Highly unlikely, but in case USA survives I need you to commit that you are losing the carrier

I just realized you are only left with one unit, so I was silly,
but thank you!
You are a very patient and understanding person.

USA tries for a perfect roll:

We have a DD and damaged CV and 5 FTR
[dice 2d6<=2]
[dice 5d6<=4]

I called it, that was as close to perfect as you could possibly be. Let’s see…

Well, that’s easy actually, I lose 2 SS, 3 FTR, 1 TAC

Can Japan close the deal?

2 DD, 1 damaged BB, 2 BMB

[dice 2d6<=2]
[3d6<=4]

USA
[dice 1d6<=4]

Fortunately for me, a syntax error

[dice 3d6<=4]

Now those were some fun dice.
In a way we both got lucky

Japan limps away with
2 DD
1 damaged BB
2 BMB

I really appreciate your sportsmanship and kindness. You got back to me with your decisions quickly, considering the time zone differences.

It is a shame I don’t know you in person, we would be good friends.
