That’s fine

Need casualty choice in South Africa
1 hit scored

The way these dice have been rolling, I would advise you lose the bomber first  :wink:

[gamerman01]

Actually, since this battle is remote and there is no attacking air or boats involved, we can resolve it later.  You can finish rolling the battle on the forum right before playing USA.

[gamerman01]

So, 1 hit scored on J’s first round, and ignore the rest of the dice because they come after the required casualty choice.
I think that should be agreeable and work out.  I hate having huge turns interrupted.

[gamerman01]

Oops, I overlooked bringing anything with attack value into Z35 to sink the USA transport.  I was planning to move a lot of fleet to 35 all along but forgot to combat move anything with combat value into Z35.  I assume you allow sinking the USA transport

Too bad, I saw the dice and thought I already dodged the bullet.
However, I hope you understand that I cannot give the bomber away right now. It is too valuable right now and I need to take risks to keep at least minimal chances to stay in the game.

Inf goes first, otherwise my buy would not make have sense and I could have bought a FTR instead of Bomber (which I probably should have done in order not to give you that shot.

@JapanDOWRound1Fan:

This is what I assumed when rolling it in Triple A.
I would feel bad if we re-rolled it and I won.  I should be able to win anyway, without giving you a major problem of losing South Africa and probably not ever being able to get it back, so we will just leave it as is.  And yes, I’m sure.

Good job mitigating the threat of the rogue transport.
Game on - America’s turn.

[gamerman01]

Don’t play drunk!
Maybe later tomorrow after you have recovered.

You know, you really shouldn’t kill off all those valuable brain cells…. You will need them in future A&A games!!  :wink:  :lol:

[gamerman01]

@Gamerman01:

2 fighters could not land in 6 Sea Zone and were removed

Whoops - just noticed this and added them back.  Triple A removed my fighters because I edited in the purchased carrier too late.  So use this file.

[gamerman01]

Friendly reminder that if you attack the destroyers off Marianas or Iwo, you face the possibility of kamikazes if you bring in any surface warships.  It’s easy to forget that, so thought I’d point it out as a courtesy.

Thanks for the reminder, in this case I would not have forgotten it.
However I almost overlooked that nasty option of potential suicide attacks from planes to sink transports due to the presence of the carrier with the sub as fodder :(

I hope you understand I have to take some risks in my next US move including the 37% shot to sink your carrier.
