[Shin-Ji]

I missed your edit - I’ll add that in later.

But would you like to scramble off Japan, and how would you like to send the Divine Wind?

(also, I wanted to attack the sub off canada with my Dst and Crusier there, but forgot - so if it’s OK, I’ll just roll that here)

[Whackamatt]

no scramble.

I need luck here.  miscalculated.  I should have bought a lot more planes!  :|

[Shin-Ji]

No Kami either?

[Whackamatt]

I can’t kami unless there’s a combat in the SZ, which would require me scrambling.

So no,  :-D

[Whackamatt]

well, wait a minute, I may be wrong on that.

I’ll do 3 on each cruiser

[Shin-Ji]

Oh - I already rolled it.  I figured that it was one of those things TripleA lets you do that is against the rules.

[Shin-Ji]

Well, while we decide how to deal with that - let’s roll for that Canadian battle I mentioned.

[Whackamatt]

I concede.  I’m a !@#$%ing idiot.

For future reference, you can Kami when there’s no actual combat, page 16

“If an Allied player attacks Japanese units in or declares an
amphibious assault from one of these sea zones, the Japanese
player can announce at the beginning of this phase that he or
she intends to launch one or more kamikaze strikes in that sea
zone. They are resolved before any combat begins.”

[Shin-Ji]

I was just looking that up myself!

Hey, it happens.  Honestly, it could easily have gone the other way.

Want a rematch?  This was a great game.

[Whackamatt]

Yeah, but it only seems to happen against you!  I did the same thing last season, or something similar like forgetting a blocker.  lol

I’ll either take a rematch or the Allies @ 17.  I’m focusing on a radical new strategy as the Allies that isn’t working out so well thus far.  :lol:

[Shin-Ji]

17 is a lot higher than I usually get.  I’ll happily give you the 10 that I got, though.

[Shin-Ji]

Also, I’ve lost several games that way.  Once I accidentally let people sail right into Berlin, and another time I straight up didn’t realize that they could just sail into India!

[Whackamatt]

Then I shall take the rematch at 10.  What would you like your bid to be?  Same same?

[Whackamatt]

OR we could rebid.  What’s your counter if 17 is too high?
