That’s a punishing roll, and I think I was prepared for bad luck…
The 6 2’s are subs, so you have 3 surprise strike losses and 12 conventional
Need casualty choices to continue
-
Taking another look at it, I see now the casualty choice is obvious
You take surprise strike sub hits to the two battleships and 1 sub. So the other 12 hits are applied to 11 subs and 1 carrier. You can swap the carrier for a cruiser or fighter later if need be
Japan’s defense

I take hit to battleship, lose 4 carriers, 3 destroyers, 3 subs
Round 2 subs

You lose 2 more carriers to surprise strikes

At this point I think your best decision is to lose all boats to take the subs out of the battle. Would be your max defense anyway…. if applicable you can swap stuff out later
Defense loses carrier, cruiser, 2 bb, 3 fighter

Collect 50, 51 on handIt’s late - I hope I handled that fleet battle alright - speak up if you would have chosen any casualties differently for Japan than I did

Wait - I didn’t save 1, so 50 on hand

GG. Very well played on your part. My apologies for all the stalling…. Part of it was lack of interest since Global 3.9 came out, part of it was I had no idea how to come back.
I considered resigning after the India fiasco and probably should have. Oh well.
I find games where I’m behind to be the most difficult games re. strategic decision-making. In a position where I’m winning, it’s easier to come up with guidelines about what risks to take (namely, don’t take big risks lol). But in a losing position, it’s vital to take risks, but it’s very hard to determine which risks are worthwhile. Should I take 30, 40% battles or not? In the end I took a big 23% battle and did well but not well enough.
Thanks again for your patience. Well deserved win for you. Congrats on the title!
-
Thanks, Zhukov
GG to you as well!
I know if we played 10 games you would certainly win your share if not more. This one just went my way
So you are enjoying Global now too? I finally finished my first real game (over 10 rounds) of Global recently. My other games never really seemed to go over 4 rounds (many of them team games). I did play some full games of P40 before E40 came out, though, so I’m pretty familiar. It’s really fun and neat, but it takes so much more time to make moves… I only play 1 global game at a time. Maybe I’ll get faster with experience.
Until next time. Happy gaming!

Oh. Almost forgot.
Are you going to start the 3rd place 2011 tournament game now?
Rematch!
Bid is already set, I believe -
Good game guys!
Congrats Gamerman!
