Can’t know the dice ahead of time.
That’s true but you have to think about what will give you the best path to victory. For me, that was keeping a fleet which couldn’t be attacked by ANZAC because its planes had been knocked off their carriers. Or at least one which could trade evenly in such an attack. Very much preferably better than evenly actually.
I’m inclined to think that the game would have been over if that battle had have gone significantly against me. So I had to assume that wouldn’t happen.
Or am I missing something here?

@simon33 Yeah an all or nothing gamble would have been a better choice indeed.

I believe allowing this attack killed the winning chances of the Axis. At the given point, the game is strategically more or less lost for the Axis.
It is just not a good idea to expose the Japanese fleet to an 1/2 attack at decent odds. USA was at 31% already which makes annihilation almost inevitable and, in good outcomes, even more Japanese planes would have died.
Japanese air force was crippled already, so Japan can absolutely NOT allow to trade more planes. Otherwise, she cannot deal with all 3, Chinese, Brits and reinforcing Allied ships in the Pacific.
This is the case now in this game. Sooner or later Japane can’t cope against the pressure from 3 angles.Without a fleet, Japan is not threatening VC victory which would be vital to keep the game balanced. With the Germans so far behind schedule, I do not see any winning path for the Axis.
In general, with a decent Anzac follow up, I strictly keep the odds for the US on the Japanese fleet below 10%, unless I feel clearly behind and hope the opponent will bite and get diced.

I believe allowing this attack killed the winning chances of the Axis. At the given point, the game is strategically more or less lost for the Axis.
That was my first thought too, especially with the snake eyes bombing Moscow. USSR should be able to outbuild Germany now wrt forces in USSR if there isn’t a large swing in incomes. Still, there might be some possibilities, I want to give it into next round.
Really, I think Japan ceded too much initiative round 5 when it allowed ANZAC to take Java and hold it for a turn, without even being able to kill the ships. Round 6 two more money islands fell. Japan had to work to regain naval dominance and it didn’t get there. With the large potential attack on SZ6 some radical action may have been needed but I don’t think I made enough of an attempt to at least kill said ships.
I find it surprising that China is fighting on. I guess Japan has had to kill the Russians as well which has slowed it down.

Is that a private joke? I don’t get why Germany would do so.

Yah hehe… I bought 3 carriers for Germany in my last game against Adam, and yet to his surprise, still broke through the Rostov gate. I still lost, but that’s another matter altogether…

Ok, I’m going to concede the game here. Got to head out.

Thanks for the game!

I’d recommend putting less emphasis on strategic bombing. Only do it if your bombers have nothing else to do, and it doesn’t put them out of position.
