Also, LOL for fleet battle if you attack is hit points first, then right up combat value.  Do not keep dd even is subs hit.  Keep ftrs over BBs. Tacb’s over cc’s

[corriganbp]

I’m taking a break but will get back to it tonight.

Attacking that Japanese fleet would be the most self-gratification I’ve had all game.  (except maybe for taking out the German strat bombers)

[Karl7]

on second thought, lets do the battle round by round as it could get complicated.

post the results of your rolls before you choose my casualties.

[corriganbp]

I have 2 ftrs, 1 tac, 1 carrier, 3 destroyers in SZ 112 supporting an amphib assault.  Will you scramble any of your ftrs in w germany to attack my invasion fleet?  I am landing in Norway.

[corriganbp]

I am really not that much of a jerk and I really should let you take back your Japan 13 – but I actually believe that you can still win – but this at least makes the game competitive, whereas before the economics were tilting in your favor.  If you can win even with the loss of your IJF, then there’s no need for option 2, but you will get option 2 even if you lose option 1.

[Karl7]

No scramble.

Bah, we should just start a new game.

Let’s see how the Americans do in killing the fleet.  My numbers tell me it should be a slaughter.  If so, I may call it just to forget my grotesque error.

[Karl7]

Don’t worry about being a jerk.  If anyone is a jerk it’s me for not looking at the map… I sometimes play too fast and make dumb errors.  I need to learn to take my time I think.  :|

[corriganbp]

Only 2 out of 11 american subs hit (good start for you).  How will you take your hits?  There’s no surprise attacks but the software breaks the decision this way.

[Karl7]

take out cv hit points

[corriganbp]

8 more hits from the main volley.

[Karl7]

so take out all hit points

kill 2 destroyers

[corriganbp]

the last hit I’m assuming is on one of the carriers

[corriganbp]

you returned 15 hits to my 10, congratulations.

[Karl7]

holy S*&^%!

bah, now I feel like an idiot for crying so much

You’ll still win though

[Karl7]

yes take out a cv

[corriganbp]

my two surviving subs got 2 hits, do you want to hold on to your last dd or lose it?

[corriganbp]

I would say that you are still the favorite in this war considering that we will probably take close to equal dmg on this battle that was supposed to be a game changer.

[Karl7]

Lose it and cv

[corriganbp]

7 more hits, save tacs then the ftrs for last?

[corriganbp]

sorry, tacs, then bb then ftrs?
