14L G40 ArtofWar1947 (Axis) vs JWW (Allies + 10)

[ArtofWar1947]

Expected the Japanese fleet to generate 8.5 hits; so was fortunate to get 10.

My mistake of not placing 2 purchased Japanese DDs in SZ 6 on Round 7 was cost me a CV. I assumed the program was pestering me again about unplaced ICs.

Need to think about what Germany needs to do in Round 10, which affects what I do with the Italians in this round.

Amusing suggestion. I’d probably sleep better at night if I surrendered, but what fun would that be?

This has been a really good and competitive game.

You can’t complain about the luck in the ANZAC rolls.

Bombing Moscow with 3 bombers. Do you want to scramble 1 fighter?
