@simon33 Yes, it’s why I went a bit light into Taranto - wanted to save the carrier if I could.

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 BMBvs
USA

1 damaged CV

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,

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 -
@gamerman01 i save a usa fighter

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

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.
