I didn’t have the French Fighter intercept based on your response to Italy - I brought a fighter escort + 2 bombers. Let me know if you would have done it differently and we’ll revise.

nah that’s fine.

[Stalingradski]

Did you leave the Anzacian cruiser in SZ15 on purpose? I built my entire turn around killing it and landing two fighters on my newly built carrier, with enough aircraft/kamis to hold off your force in the Carolines. But no.

I lost a detroyer and two fighters to it without killing it, meaning I could no longer station in SZ6, changing everything… and I had to use a cruiser as a blocker just to be able to build my carrier at all.

So a 40 + IPC turnaround in the Pacific, plus ripple effects to come. Skill, meet dice… dice, meet skill… (uncomfortably shake hands… give suspicious looks at each other… :-P)

yes the thought was that you would not want to occupy z6 so i was inviting you to attack it.

[boldfresh]

yeah that was bad, but possibly survivable - unlike my failure in sydney.  :|

Then you created your own opportunity for luck, and I salute you!  :wink:

I no longer care to win this game… only to hunt down that Anzacian ghost ship…  :evil:

And yes, it’s very survivable, just frustrating… I was 0 - 6 on 3’s, the cruiser was 3 -3…

[boldfresh]

my head starts to spin when i look at all the possible directions i can go with these allies.  too tired to tackle this big move tonight…  :|  gotta stick to smaller easier ones if i can muster the strength.  :lol:

[Stalingradski]

No problem, good sir - all I care about right now is a four day weekend coming, and lots of chances for A&A -  :-)

[boldfresh]

ok stali - let’s get this one rolling.  rather than make you wait any longer i’m taking a stab with this move.  :wink:

need your decisions for scramble and/or kami in z6.

[Stalingradski]

No kamis… no scramble! Goodbye destroyer… hello convoy raids.
