Well I clearly didn’t have an answer to the first time I faced a Yunnan gambit and a 51 bid
Missing 2 fighters to Shan made it a whole lot worse. Will the dice allow me to salvage a bit?

Scramble to 33, or save the ANZAC fighter for future exploits?

[Stucifer]

@gamerman01 Scramble ANZAC fighter! thanks

[gamerman01]

Thank you!

Just how much are the Japs going to keep America and India’s attention? This could get very, very interesting

[gamerman01]

Destroyers, subs, aircraft, I want to do this on the forum so we’re not being asked for casualty choices before we should be
I’ll post the map at each point.

[gamerman01]

We have the kitchen sink that Japan is desperately throwing at the Allied fleet complete with 4 transports at the Carolines. 5 bombers are looking zip right to the Carolines this turn to join them.

Will there be anything to join?

The TUVs will look really interesting after this.

Japan’s kitchen sink:
2 SS
2 DD
1 CA
1 CV
3 FTR
1 TAC
2 BMB

Technically subs would be rolled separately because they can’t hit aircraft, but it won’t matter here

[gamerman01]

Now that is a dice bailout
But what will the defense be?

Please use the map already posted,
Sumatra captured without loss, otherwise all the same

[Stucifer]

Oof, 7 hits. Hmm.

2 SS
1 DD
CV
damage BB
1 ANZAC Fighter

[gamerman01]

Thank you for the quick casualty choice, I can keep the flow

Allies have
2 SS
2 DD
1 CV
1 CA
1 BB
3 FTR
4 TP

Now I’m starting to feel guilty

Let’s see now…

[Stucifer]

@gamerman01 😂 you should, moderators aren’t supposed to be bribing the dicebot! 😜

[gamerman01]

Any surviving ships are going to be murdered, and I have 2 fighters that’re going to die here too

I have to stay to get the transports

Those dice were so good
I lose 2 subs and 1 destroyer

Round 2, there’s a lot of the kitchen sink left.

1 DD
1 CV
1 CA
3 FTR
1 TAC
2 BMB

My subs are gone, I’ll keep your battleship and if you survive you can change it if you want

I might actually pull off saving a carrier that might take out one extra destroyer :p

Japan loses destroyer and fighter

Kitchen sink still has
