[Trajan01]

Just wanted to you confirm you are sure about that.
I don’t think you stand much of a chance in z6.

[Whackamatt]

I’m sure.  I’m so far behind now, i’ll need some good luck to turn things around.  Maybe the decimation of the US fleet around Japan would help.  :evil:

[Trajan01]

That’s what I thought - but prefer to check.
You could still pull off a bit win in either the Sea of Japan, a mis-placed Russian stack or the Irish Sea. But not going your way.
I’ll get the Allies up in a bit.

Kamikaze in z6?
Also, an OOL if you have one. I’d presume hit CV, DD’s (saving 1 if I have subs left), CV, last DD, Tac, Ftr.

[Whackamatt]

Correct on the OOL, however, if you take your subs in the first round, then I will lose my last dd before my damaged carrier.

Kamikazes:  1 each on 6 different destroyers.  Bonzai!!  :evil:  makes airplane diving noise

[Trajan01]

understood on the OOL.
i’d do the same with the kamikaze’s, you can’t take em with you…

For some reason it wouldn’t let me land the Bom in Kwe so I edited it. If this isn’t right for some reason let me know, but I don’t see why not, must be a TripleA issue.

I am going to concede this one.  Well played!  Japan is done, and with all of the Allied money (which is 100 ICs more than the Axis) going towards Germany, they don’t have a chance.

[Trajan01]

Thanks! Yes, I don’t really see a path for you on this one. Japan will be at zero income in a couple turns (even if taking Tokyo takes a few more), and then it’s a war of attrition. An interesting game - had that big 50/50 battle off of Hanoi gone against me, I probably would have resigned!

A pleasure to play with you, I have a few other games lined up, but feel free to shoot me a note if you have a spot in your schedule.
