I agree that, if the dice were true, the situation in the Pacific would definitely have been more challenging. However, with much of the Japanese fleet out of position for the next turn, the Allies ipc advantage, and constant attacks on the Dutch Indies, it difficult to imagine the Axis winning. This assumes, of course, not making another major Ally mistake.

I’d like to try the paratroop tech some time in a non-league game. However, I need to concentrate on not making major gaffs in my league game right now.

@ArtofWar1947

Thanks for an interesting game. You made a good fight of it despite the terrible bad luck by in France in Turn 1.

@FMErwinRommel

Borneo was the worst possible luck for the Japanese. But perhaps not as costly as the first round of fighting in SZ 39, where the Allies scored 12 hits instead of the expected 7.

@FMErwinRommel
Overlooked the DDs; yes take them out before planes. Max defense.

@FMErwinRommel
Sink the 3 reamining ships (wounded CV, DD, CA), 2 Tacs, 3 ANZ fighters, 2 US fighters.

@FMErwinRommel

Not sure what you message means. 10 hits by Allies on Japanese or 10 hits by Japanese on the Allies?

@FMErwinRommel

Did you get my email?

If not, sink two wounded CVs (additional hits 1-3), tilt the third CV (hit 4), and sink the 3 subs (additional hits 5-7).

@FMErwinRommel

Good grief, I forgot to move the ANZAC DD to SZ 38.

Scramble ANZ fighter and two UK fighters.
