I guess you read the very small photo correctly then.
I’m sure he’ll appreciate the feedback.

@MarshmallowofWar WOW! Thank you for all your help! I guess I mis-understood the threat, it really was not that large.
Also the U.S. has 4 transports fully loaded 2 Cruisers 3 Carries fully loaded a battleship and three subs. Plus 11 Bombers.
I’m just worried about all of the bombers.

I was only looking at the fleet. That is a lot of bombers.
The good thing is they can’t hit Japan. The bad thing is they can hit sea zone six. The naval build probably isn’t the best build there.
The good thing about your enemy having 11 bombers – once you kill them, he’s toast. The bad thing: you have to lose fighters to kill them. He’s coming for your main factory with 11 bombers, and once he shuts it down you’re toast. You won’t be able to build in sea zone six. He’ll take Iwo Jima or Korea (either works, and if it’s Iwo you won’t be able to attack the bombers on land without risking your carriers) and you’re hosed on that unless you can kill those bombers. If you can’t attack where they are, you will need to kill them with interceptors. Better start building fighters in Japan so you can intercept them.

On the other hand, if you drop fleet into sea zone six (two carriers, with four fighters from southern carriers on top of them, and maybe a battleship too) , if he does bring in the bombers you can kill a lot of them with your six fighter scramble. It’ll cost a lot, but cheaper than losing the game by conceding the skies to him. You’ll still need to build a lot of replacement planes.
If you go this route, you’ll need to keep that blocker in sea zone 16 to keep his ships from coming in. You’ll want to kill as many planes as you can at once. If you go this way, you definitely have to consolidate your fleet in two turns if he doesn’t hit sea zone 6 on his next turn.
If he goes for Iwo, then your combined fleet can kill his fleet or target his bombers.
No matter what you do, you have to kill most of those bombers. It’s gonna be expensive.
If he’s going for Japan proper with it all, then consolidating your fleet is still necessary because you can’t let him land anything with that bomber stack backing it up. That being said, I would still pump some more ground forces into Japan too.
Have fun.

Yea thinking same but not a BB but 2-3 destroyers instead.
If he attacks with 11 bombers ( you got a blocker ) its 11 bombers vs 10 fighters 2 carriers and 2-3 destroyers.
You both get about 8 hits first round, so 2 carriers 2 destroyers and 2 planes vs 8 bombers.
You destroy the remaining 3 for about 2 fighters so you come out ahead in ipcs, trading 12 ipc units for 8 and 10 ipcs units. -
How did the game go?

@SuperbattleshipYamato The Allies ended up winning, the Americans got to strong and the Japanese got bogged down in India. I had better odds than the defender but lossed 8 battles in a row against british territories. I guess it all comes down to the dice. If it was not for the dice I could have taken India. All the money allies were retaking plus the Philippines by the Anzac then the Japanese surrendered. When the Far east command made it to Hong Kong with 7 Infantry, 8 Artillery, 3 Tanks, 3 Mech, 3 AAA Guns. By that point Japan was about to get kick off of Asia and then the allies would have taken Tokyo. The Japanese decided to surrender. Time was running out And we had to end the game I knew I would lose so decided it was a Allied victory.

Oh well. I hope you learned something from it. I always do after my losses.
