i am supposed to be +12 but end up -33ish. so again you win the dice battle. I still think it is the right call. I had you in the second last round but I missed on 3 4s and 1 3 or something. ohh well

JDOW

I know for certain that I would not have attacked there but to quote Gamerman I am “the most careful player in the league” ;-)

The thing is, even if you win with 1 bomber remaining, Japan is down 10 air craft total from the start (rebuild 4 though) The question is, whether that would have been enough to dominate.

Maybe I underestimated the threat here. Also, I was supposed to have 1 more plane there plus the BB could not have been tipped already.

It is a really good question whether this battle was ill advised or the right thing. Not sure anymore.

I am not sure if it is right. I think it gives me 2 rounds with Japan to regroup and refocus. I would have been very okay with taking out your BB and last fighter. At least you need to focus in the pacific I think. The battle outcome is fair, but favours you

and with a different europe situation I would not have done it
