It does mean ‘victory’ by your standards btw, I was left with 1 tank and 8 S.Bombers.

I accidentally hit space bar too fast and didnt change to keep one tank (instead kept 1 tacbomber). I am swapping the T.bomber for the tank (same attack value so the rolls didnt change).

I have returned the units (transport, infantry), territory, and production units.

Because warships such as Cruisers and Battleships can be targeted.

No, if you are conducting an amphibious assault with a cruiser and transport I could target the cruiser but not the transport.

The transport can never be targeted by kamikaze attacks under any circumstances. It’s a strange rule but it is the rule.

Ok so it is two parts:
Part 1, when you can do it: if the enemy (you) are attacking Japanese ships and/or conduct an amphibious assault on a japanese territory.
You were conducting an amphibious assault. So this part is satisfied.

Part 2, what can be targeted: surface warships but not submarines or transports.
I cannot target your transport. (Note: if you had a cruiser or battleship taking part in the amphibious assault I could have targeted them. Targeting a Destroyer not taking part in an amphibious assault is doubtful.)

Part 2 was my error, I cannot target your transport even though you were conducting an amphibious assault.

No, it is pretty clear. I cannot target your transports with kamikaze attacks. I made an error, I didn’t realize transports were not subject to kamikaze attacks.

Dang, I missed the part about the transport. Ok.

I will reverse all that on my next turn.

The program has some gaps, this is one that apparently isn’t listed.

Your transport (and infantry) have been sunk. I have corrected the production (loss of 7 since you didn’t capture the Philippines), units (loss of the transport and infantry), and territory ownership.

I didn’t see a way to subtract 3 kamikaze counters. I am down to 3.

LOL ok, trying again.
Rolling 3d6:
(1, 1, 1)

Kamikaze attack on the transport attacking the phillipines, 3 shots.
: dice 3d6:

Running definitely might have been an option. Chasing down that mega-army would be…a nightmare.

No, not giving up. Just discussing. :)

I disagree, I have lost momentum.

Japan cannot maintain a land force while at the same time building ships against the Americans.

Germany is just barely holding on.

I should have had Japan block you with a destroyer to prevent you from taking those islands. I didn’t even see the problem.
I should have also had Japan build ships instead of the last turn (or two) of mech infantry.

Germany should have set up to attack Moscow last turn. It would have forced you to keep your fighters and bombers at home and thus prevent them from retaking E. Persia.

Ultimately, I screwed up a couple places. From here on out you will grind the Japanese down and following them, the Germans.
