11L '41 Zhukov4 (Axis) vs. LL (Allies + 8) +NO, No Tech

not much of a casualty choice here, I will proceed with the defense and if something crazy happens (like you getting 10 hits or something) I can wait for a casualty choice.

well, unfortunately your subs came to fight, but then so did my carriers!

I guess the casualties in this one are pretty clear.  Seems the only decision you would have is whether to keep a destroyer or not, but with only 3 boats surviving, I am not keeping a submarine anyway so you will just go with maximum defense capability the rest of the way.

Japan will lose 6 submarines, 6 destroyers, 7 ac, damage battleship.

Americans will lose 9 submarines and 5 destroyers.

That’s a bummer, terrible rolls for Japs.  Especially that first roll–7/17 4s hit.  I expected you to win with 8 units remaining, not 20.

I should have saved my air force, but hindsight is 20/20–I also has 15% to win that battle.

a bad second round by the japs could have really made things interesting…

What is Hitler plotting?  The world is breathless with anticipation.

When do we plan to resume?

Soviets do nothing but move submarine to Z61.  You can go ahead with Japan.
