16L G40 Stalingradski (Axis) vs. Talleyrand19 (Allies +23)

Stalingradski

Before I roll dice in SZ 97 - what is your order of loss? I have 5+ hits by the odds (32 pips), and a tip or loss of your carrier = the loss of both fighters… wondering what you’d like to keep if I don’t clear it in one round.

Talleyrand19

just do max defense, no chance I will win the battle so lose the fighters last

Stalingradski

Will do ~

I had a NCM air movement I should have done properly, from the fleet off the Carolines back to Japan.

So you can see how I’ve just made a massive expansion on J3 possible, without worrying about blockers. Japan has just enough naval power to position so that they can move into all four of the DEI at once, and then choose either Malaya, Kwangtung, or Philippines based on the particular setup of the allies, etc. This is only the second time I’ve done this, and I’m starting to refine it because it was done to me :-D

And worked very well.

Talleyrand19

yeah I actually did something very similar to this in one of my current games…all it takes is losing like 20 times for me to learn haha

Believe me, I’ve taken my lumps for a long time, and still do :|
