You always have a choice, dear. You could very well have allowed the destroyer not to be sent to Davey Jones’ Locker. What did it do to you?
-
still amazed that your destroyer didn’t hit two times in a row.
Wait, he was supposed to expect you crazy Americans to continue dive bombing him after that spectacular display of missing the broadside of a destroyer at 30 yards??? He figured you were done!
-
LOL. Yeh, we’re definitely in need of some target practice. yeesh.
And yes, I like to preserve my air force and that reminds me. Despite the loss of India, I still think I am better off because of the 2nd round Japanese attack. You might need to re configure that for a 3rd round attack, but then, India has a chance to build up more, and you lose the shock and awe effect of strafing an infantry stack which sends the clear statement, “I’ve got so much more frackin’ air force than any other country that I can use them as cannon fodder”
-
Yes. You surrendering the Pacific to me was a surprise. Without that, you would not be in the position you are now in Europe, and that would not have been possible if I had not attacked on Japan 2, if I had waited for Japan 3. I will have to look into it.
It also helped that you were willing to put all those pretty targets in Burma for me to smack around. Still, 20 aircraft and 12 ground units that Japan can bring is quite a bit for little India to whether…
Anyway, I got Egg Nog in Berlin, ya all coming or can we start drinking now?

Berlin? Rome? . . . all in good time comrade, all in good time.

Remember, had my defenders in London had average dice, they would be free citizens right now, and this would be a totally different game. Coming out of sea lion with all tanks surviving (albeit stranded now) plus the luftwaffe in tact, almost unheard of.

Yes, I got lucky in England - I don’t know if that would have really helped though. I was going to win that fight, it’s just a matter of degree…if I had gotten almost wiped out, you would have liberated, but I would have had my fleet.
-
If you had been left with just 1 tank, and lost some planes (a very likely event), then I could have liberated England and wiped out the fleet. I am probably not going to adopt the 2nd round attack with Japan, but if you want to keep experimenting with it, more power to you. Let’s see how this game turns out.

I was going to win with 5 tanks - even if I had to lose up to 2 planes to do it. I saw your fleet and figured my only hope would be to have enough there that a solitary transport and planes could retake London if necessary.
However, my biggest mistake was attacking England on Japan 2…if I had waited for Japan 3 (even if it meant not hitting that pretty stack of infantry) then the Americans would have been stuck on the coast and would not have been in range of either England or Germany’s fleet…that said, I really think it worked out the way I did it - despite it being a mistake.
-
You will get the VC win. Any interest in playing this out to see who would get the complete victory (14 VCs globally)?
Even with the global VC condition, I think that I’m in for a tough time because you could eventually wear down the US navy defending the west coast and do horrible CRD damage.
Then again, India will eventually be liberated.
So I can see that your India crush can result in an earlier win for Japan, in part because I did put enough in the Pacific. But that’s still a riskier style of play that could have backfired on you.
