Savegame

Well I clearly didn’t have an answer to the first time I faced a Yunnan gambit and a 51 bid
Missing 2 fighters to Shan made it a whole lot worse. Will the dice allow me to salvage a bit?

Scramble to 33, or save the ANZAC fighter for future exploits?

Thank you!

Just how much are the Japs going to keep America and India’s attention? This could get very, very interesting

Destroyers, subs, aircraft, I want to do this on the forum so we’re not being asked for casualty choices before we should be
I’ll post the map at each point.

We have the kitchen sink that Japan is desperately throwing at the Allied fleet complete with 4 transports at the Carolines. 5 bombers are looking zip right to the Carolines this turn to join them.

Will there be anything to join?

The TUVs will look really interesting after this.

Japan’s kitchen sink:
2 SS
2 DD
1 CA
1 CV
3 FTR
1 TAC
2 BMB

Technically subs would be rolled separately because they can’t hit aircraft, but it won’t matter here
[dice 4d6<=2]
[dice 4d6<=3]
[dice 3d6<=4]

4d6<=2: 5, 1, 5, 1; Hits: 2
4d6<=3: 3, 3, 4, 2; Hits: 3
3d6<=4: 5, 4, 3; Hits: 2

Now that is a dice bailout
But what will the defense be?

Please use the map already posted,
Sumatra captured without loss, otherwise all the same

Thank you for the quick casualty choice, I can keep the flow

Allies have
2 SS
2 DD
1 CV
1 CA
1 BB
3 FTR
4 TP

[dice 2d6<=1]
[dice 3d6<=2]
[dice 1d6<=3]
[dice 4d6<=4]

2d6<=1: 4, 5; Hits: 0
3d6<=2: 6, 2, 4; Hits: 1
1d6<=3: 4; Hits: 0
4d6<=4: 6, 4, 1, 6; Hits: 2

Now I’m starting to feel guilty

Let’s see now…

Any surviving ships are going to be murdered, and I have 2 fighters that’re going to die here too

I have to stay to get the transports

Those dice were so good
I lose 2 subs and 1 destroyer

Round 2, there’s a lot of the kitchen sink left.

1 DD
1 CV
1 CA
3 FTR
1 TAC
2 BMB

[dice 1d6<=2]
[dice 4d6<=3]
[dice 3d6<=4]

1d6<=2: 1; Hits: 1
4d6<=3: 5, 6, 2, 5; Hits: 1
3d6<=4: 5, 3, 4; Hits: 2

My subs are gone, I’ll keep your battleship and if you survive you can change it if you want

Allies retort with

1 DD
1 CA
1 dmgd BB
2 FTR

[dice 1d6<=2]
[dice 1d6<=3]
[dice 3d6<=4]
