14L Whackamatt (Axis) vs. JDOW (Allies +11)

[Whackamatt]

Well they weren’t surprised in Yunnan or Kwangtung!  Jeez.  :-P

If you’ve never played against a J1, this should be fun!  I like keeping all options on the table, myself.  Have you ever done a J1 on an opponent?

Pretty rough start, I can’t complain about the defense!

I only played JDOW1 in a live game when I played my first G40 game ever. Since I have a bit of a clue of the game I never played. Agree, will be fun for sure, plenty of new options on both sides of the table:D

[Whackamatt]

Italy is doing a counter-attack on the brit fleet.  My sub got a hit.  Whot takes it?  You have:  DD, CC, CV, (2 fighters)

Let me know.  Posted is the file if you want to take a look.

[JDOW]

Tip the carrier please.

[JDOW]

wait btw!

[JDOW]

As I have a DD I can wait to see all attack rolls before choosing casualties. Sorry, forgot about that.

[JDOW]

In case you don’t want to roll the rest in the forum, you can tip the carrier, do the other rolls and let me decide then.
In case the carrier remains tipped you can continue using tripleA, otherwise we need to continue in the forum.

A bit ridiculous that the “sub hit casuality choice forced despite DD present” - bug is not fixed with the latest update:/

[Whackamatt]

I had forgotten about that bug, yes.  I’ll just apply to the carrier and roll it up.  Then if I got an odd number of hits where it could make a difference in casualty selection, I’ll bring it back to the forum.

It was a moot point.  I got 4/5, so I let your CC survive the first round.  If you had chosen to let a fighter be the only survivor, I could have retreated and just let it crash.

Either way, your CC missed the second round.  So game on, ANZAC / France!
