@surfer said in L25 Avner (L+9) vs Surfer (X) BM4:
@Avner Boo. I can’t access the dice server! Stucifer posted earlier that this was a problem. I guess we’ll have to delay.
now it’s ok… it seems
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

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
Oof, 7 hits. Hmm.
2 SS
1 DD
CV
damage BB
1 ANZAC Fighter
Thank you for the quick casualty choice, I can keep the flow
Allies have

Now I’m starting to feel guilty
Let’s see now…
@gamerman01 😂 you should, moderators aren’t supposed to be bribing the dicebot! 😜
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.

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

I might actually pull off saving a carrier that might take out one extra destroyer :p
Japan loses destroyer and fighter
Kitchen sink still has

Battleship gives a good-bye kiss
Japan loses a fighter I guess, I can’t figure out what’s better, not much difference
SO
Japan gets super lucky, clearing with maximum survivors and a couple to possibly plink one destroyer. Maybe.
