I downloaded the file, but won’t be able to take my turn tonight.  I’ll try for tomorrow, hopefully.  :-)

[gsh34]

Well, I think I’m on the losing the end of this game despite good dice.  I also don’t think what I’m about to do is a “winning” move.  I think I’d be better served to set up my Japanese fighters and sbr’s to do a sustained strategic bombing campaign against Moscow as I had planned.  However, you did not do me any favors by placing your Allied Pacific fleet with in range to be possibly sunk.  This is probably close to a 50/50 battle (which is probably closer than you would care for) _and_I do love to roll dice for large naval battles and this is getting the best of me….

I need your OOL please Axisplaya.  See attached map for battle.

gsh34_vs_Axisplay_8cJapan_combat.AAM

[Axisplaya]

Well, i will tell you that after work, when i can open the map.

Right now, i can tell you that i didn’t see at all that your planes in She could make it. Otherwise, i would never have put my fleet in here. With 11 hits, it looks like i’m going to get wiped…

I tell you my losses in a few hours, when i’m home.

[gsh34]

Well, now that we are past the point of me bombing Russia, I can tell you the airbase in She was so I could send those planes to Romania or Bessarabia on this Japanese turn. Then, I could get them in position for a sustained bombing campaign on Moscow. That was my original thinking by placing it there.  In no way did I anticipate you moving your fleet that close behind me.  Also, in no way does my 11 hits mean that I have won the battle.  I have 22 hits for 61 pips to start the battle.  So, I should have gotten 10 hits.  I was one above average.  You have 23 hits for 53 pips by my count, so you should get ~9 hits in return.  If you are around average, the battle will still rage on as you have 4 soak off hits to my 2 (3 if I actually sink my carrier with no attack value).  Anyways, I am learning a lot in this game.  Namely, my KAF is pretty easy to defend against and it really does take a long time to get to Moscow after doing Sealion.  I can see that it would most likely be round 12 at the earliest that I would have had a legitimate attack on it.

Anyways, I await you OOL.  Who knows, maybe if I do win this battle I will be able to breath new life into Japan in next couple of rounds.

[Axisplaya]

Hmm…those 8@4 are way to strong…I really think i’m gonna lose it all.

Ok, still at work, but managed to open the map…hope my boss won’t read this lol !

I lose :
Anz ss + dd
3AC, damage BB
2dd

This mistake - putting my fleet in range of so much airpower- is huge. It clearly gives you the boost you needed (eventually).

Now, if i have to rebuild a complete pac fleet, i won’t be able to put all i can to retake london…

Really frustrated by my stupid play here…
