    Third time lucky. Actually managed to forget to put in the change, which was to leave a CV in SZ6.

    Scramble from The Philippines?

    This is a nail biter.

    I couldn’t let this one go because I said to you the attack was ill-advised so I looked what I would have done and I came out with the following:
    Buy carrier, 2 fighters, airbase and 3 inf.
    Then you make a full stack of sz36 next ot FIC. You will have 9 air there and I have the odds of a US attack on below 20% in that case. Even with an ANZAC follow up Japan could hold the sz.
    You have your 3 transports ready there and you can bring the land units from the islands back, too.
    Certainly, I might take the islands from there but your fleet is the strong enough to push me back once you unify your fleets. Also, you have TTs to take back later.
    It is always better to hold on with Japan and resist from making risky attacks crippling Japans air force.

  • '15 '14

    Keep mind, it US loses its forces with an attack, not only the units at phillipines are gone but the 6 DD, sub and bomber at Caro, too.
    I would have never made this attack as it would not even be ill-advised, but silly.

    Interesting, thanks for running those numbers. Trading fleets absolutely works against Japan so even if I had diced you, it still may not have been very helpful for Japan.
