Sumatra -> Carolines
Urals -> Jehol

[gamerman01]

Japs score 9 hits total,

So 8 more to choose besides the sub hit which I assigned to an undamaged carrier, which is safe because there’s no way you’d save 4 undamaged carriers after that roll

[pacifiersboard]

@gamerman01

damage one carrier and kill that one,
kill ANZAC sub and plane,
kill two dd,
kill tac and a US Ftr

[gamerman01]

Thanks, don’t go away, I’ll roll soon, hoping to finish the move

@gamerman01

mean dice there

[gamerman01]

I’ve been on the wrong end so many times but the misfortune for the Allies on the US attack of Midway was a key time for the luck to reverse.

The dice hold up well on the Japanese counter that was then possible, and we have a reverse Midway. And an awful lot of fighting to go

The Japs now have but 5 warships on the board, and there are 3 Allied warships in the Pacific. The US also has 5 planes ready to take off from California, and while the Japs have 12, there are still 5 fronts, though each are fairly weak at the mo

[gamerman01]

It’s all about 6 cities now, and we have a very interesting scenario. A lot has to play out
