Gotcha.

So 2 bonus USA fighters survive and I lose 2 loaded transports, and can’t take over Java which is a 13 IPC per turn swing.  Still, that is not too bad for Japan…  maybe

[gamerman01]

We…ll

Shouldn’t be 13 IPC swing the first turn, I do have a sub to convoy raid you  :-D

[gamerman01]

Forgot something.

My sub did sink you in the very next round, but your 2 fighters need to fire at my transports

[gamerman01]

You’re going to have to come get them, at least  :-P

This creates an interesting scenario.

I have 2 transports and 1 sub vs. 2 fighters
If I retreat, the sub has to retreat also.  But I can submerge if I go another round.  That’s what I’ll do.

Sub submerges, and USA fighters try again

I have an unenviable edit job ahead of me.  Wonder if I can get the ANZ arty changed to infantry while I’m at it.

Got it!  That wasn’t hard after all.

Let Triple A duke it out on Java, and you won with 1 arty remaining, which makes me feel better that they never even landed.  They would have got slaughtered (improbably) anyway.  :-P

Everything is correct now.  1 ANZ infantry, 1 ANZ arty, 2 USA fighters in Java, and 1 Japanese sub in 42.

A lot less units on the board - that’s the way I like it

@Gamerman01:

If I retreat, the sub has to retreat also.  But I can submerge if I go another round.  That’s what I’ll do.

Sub submerges, and USA fighters try again

Just realized I had forgotten the ANZ transports at this point  :-P
It gets confusing.

Anyway, the sub stayed there after sinking the battleship, your fighters sunk my transports before they could retreat, and my sub sunk your transports.

The map is correct.

Change buy:

• 1 Fig, 1 DD

• 1 Bomb, 1 Sub

Asking for scramble and submerge orders in sz95.

I am still not sure about the bomber in sz95 if I need it and if it adds significant value. But looked somehow better:)

[JDOW]

@Gamerman01:

Do you? Usually a more complicated positions favors the better player. But I can imagine that even for you, such positions can be more work than fun and especially with several game sin parallel I understand where you coming from.

I of course appreciate it too, but obv. because more Axis than Allies units left the map due to incredibly good dices! Even if i sounds strange I am somehow relieved the BB and TT did not survive. this would have turned the battle from extremely good to ridiculous. With the BB and TT alive I would even dare to say my position in the Pacific would have been better. Now I am less behind but Japan is not in real trouble thanks to your foresight - to send the Germans for support - which I think now pays of well!

[gamerman01]

Submerge sub immediately

Scramble 3 fighters

Not sure, but you should probably roll this on the forum - I wouldn’t trust Triple A to handle it correctly
