13L G40 wheatbeer (Axis) vs JWW (Allies +9) game 3

[666]

I don’t think I can take any of the JPN VC’s……

and basically I need to take one before J’s next turn or it’s game over, right?

suicide attack on IND or KIA?

[666]

meant to buy an airfield for ansac in java? hmmmm….I think IND is my best bet but I would need a miracle, and I dont believe in those.

[wheatbeer]

I expected ANZAC to build one, but Japan would have attacked the UK fighter with strategic bombers from Shan State in that case (1.8% chance for fighter to survive).

I think Calcutta’s the best odds, maybe 1 in 5 shot.

not sure why more info didn’t post….frustrating

[666]

I guess Japan has to hold everything through their next turn?

[wheatbeer]

At the start of J8, assuming Japan hasn’t dipped below 6 VCs at any point since J7, Japan meets the victory conditions.

so it’s done…only chance I see is Russia getting the Kwangtung VC and that’s not going to happen…so GG, thanks…

[wheatbeer]

Thanks for an interesting match.

That was a squeaker as far as timing goes. Japan wasn’t prepared to keep what it had beyond J8.
