With the max defense oriented OOL, the most likely outcome would leave the Allies with a damaged Battleship and a small group of planes (1-3).

I expected to lose, but losing but this margin in a key battle (especially when the Allies chose a less defense oriented OOL) tips the game badly.

[wheatbeer]

I think the Axis should probably concede since Japan won’t be able to contribute anything after a few rounds.

Yeah, I think I eyeballed max defense at around 4 remaining US units on average. But, I knew that even if you had won, I still had 2 SS, 5 bmb to mop up anything you had left so I could afford to gamble a little with my losses.

I’d say see what Germany does against Russia before you pack up.

[wheatbeer]

Even if Japan got lucky with a victory in SZ20, I planned to sink Battleships and save planes instead.

I’ll keep going to see what happens in Europe if that’s what you prefer.  I’m skeptical at the moment though, because that battle was meant to help the European Axis as much or more than Japan.

@wheatbeer:

Even if Japan got lucky with a victory in SZ20, I planned to sink Battleships and save planes instead.

I’ll keep going to see what happens in Europe if that’s what you prefer.  I’m skeptical at the moment though, because that battle was meant to help the European Axis as much or more than Japan.

Seeing as how there is a very real possibility that Germany could take Volgograd and Moscow before I take Egypt to prevent the Axis VC win, I don’t think it’s a good idea to give up just yet.

I for got to move the 2 AA to Samara in non-com so I edited during place units phase.

[wheatbeer]

Japan is attacking SZ36 with 1 destroyer and 7 fighters

I got 2 hits, do you want to sink one of the carriers or a fighter?

[wheatbeer]

I’m also launching an amphibious assault against FIC if that makes a difference.

[U-505]

Sink a CV. standard OOL after that.
