good news is the transport still survives unless you go another round!  :-P

[wheatbeer]

Americans lose 7 fig 1 strat and retreat to SZ55

[wheatbeer]

Make that 6 fig, 1 tact, 1 strat rather

[wheatbeer]

I was tempted to retreat after round 3 … not sure I made the right call or not. ANZAC could have killed the BBs after all.

[boldfresh]

ending that battle as 8 usa units vs. 5 jap ftrs was a boon to the japs but not nearly enough of a boon.
