[Shin-Ji]

Did you catch the edit?  I saw that naval base as I was posting.

[Karl7]

no, but need ool…

dont worry, the end is near anyway, i will edit in at end of usa

[Shin-Ji]

OK.  Lose the two tilted carriers and the cruiser.

[Shin-Ji]

Actually, lose the two tilted carriers and tilt the last one.

[Karl7]

I got 2 hits w/3 bombers left.

You have 1 damaged cv, dd, cc, damaged bb and 2 ftrs

OOL?

[Shin-Ji]

Lose the destroyer and the tilted carrier.

[Karl7]

AH I see you reinforced the PHI.  That was my only hope that you overlooked that. Very good.

I would have 2 inf, 2 bombards.  You’d maybe scram 1 tacb to stop bombards?

Let see (assuming no scram)

[Shin-Ji]

Yea, I wasn’t gonna scramble.  Looks like that’s it, then!

I don’t think I’ve ever won this way before.

[Karl7]

there it is… the end!

What a crazy game… I thought after the Germans lost their air force the Allies were on the road to victory.  But what the dice giveth they taketh away!  Japan’s easy victory over the US fleet and then Australia was a real game changer… oh well.

You’ve got to give me the allies again.  This was embarrassing.

[Karl7]

embarrassing to me that is

[Shin-Ji]

I gotta agree, dice have been a HUGE factor in this game on both sides.  When I lost the German airforce all at once, I was sure I had lost.  It wasn’t until I annihilated the Allied navy that I thought I had a chance, but even then, I knew I was on a clock.

Sadly, this is only my 6th game this season!  So we could do the rematch, but it wouldn’t count for a while yet.  Want to do it anyway?

[Karl7]

sure.  I don’t really sweat the league standings and all that anyway.

[Shin-Ji]

Works for me.  Same bid as before?

[Karl7]

sure
