[wheatbeer]

Allies have 10 subs, 9 dd, 5 damaged carriers, 2 cru, 1 tact, 9 fig, 2 battleship to allocate 25 hits on

Do you want to continue with max defense (i.e. sinking 10 subs, 9 dd, the 5 damaged carriers, and 1 cruiser)?

I have to ask because retreat could be a possibility.

[souL]

Yes. And fine rolling.

[wheatbeer]

Yeah, that last roll was a whopping 7 hits over average.

Japan clears SZ42 with the loss of 8 sub, 6 dd, 5 carrier, 2 cru, 2 bb, 3 fig, and 2 tact … 5 fig, 6 tact, 2 strat survive.

My wife just got home, so editing the map and completing Japan’s NCM will have to wait until tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

@wheatbeer:

I will be out of town this Friday through Sunday and I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to post during that time.

[souL]

Think I’m just going to resign this one, anyway.  If that’s ok with you.  I could play it out probably another 5-8 turns, but I don’t see any reason.  GG.

[wheatbeer]

If it makes any difference, I’d offer you a low luck reroll on SZ42 (in exchange for granting the Axis the right to one future low luck reroll).

[souL]

I did know the battle was coming, I just figured I had to get lucky 1 more time in order to really be back in the game.  Average results with Germany/Japan bearing down on the winning VC will only extend the game as long as it takes them to march to Egypt.  You played very well and earned a victory despite poor dice.  Congratulations, and good luck in 2014!

[wheatbeer]

Thanks, good luck to you too … if you would like a rematch in the future, let me know  :-)

[souL]

I’ll get a few more games under my belt, then perhaps, yes.
