14L G40 Variance(Allies +12) vs Shin Ji (Axis)

[Shin-Ji]

Oh, and if you’d rather just do your turn entirely differently, that is of course fine as well.

[variance]

No Kamikaze hits.  Round 1 I scored 11 hits.  What’s your OOL?

[Shin-Ji]

Hang on, you only rolled one die for Destroyer and one for a Cruiser.  I wanted to attack two destroyers and three Cruisers total.

[variance]

No, I rolled for 3 cruisers and 2 destroyers.

[variance]

Here is what it says in the Game History:

Japanese scrambles 3 units out of Philippines to defend against the attack in 35 Sea Zone
Kamikaze Suicide Attack attacks 1 destroyer owned by the Americans scoring 0 hits.  Rolls: 4
Kamikaze Suicide Attack attacks 1 cruiser owned by the Americans scoring 0 hits.  Rolls: 4
Kamikaze Suicide Attack attacks 1 cruiser owned by the Americans scoring 0 hits.  Rolls: 3
Kamikaze Suicide Attack attacks 1 cruiser owned by the Americans scoring 0 hits.  Rolls: 6
Kamikaze Suicide Attack attacks 1 destroyer owned by the Americans scoring 0 hits.  Rolls: 6

[Shin-Ji]

Ah, I see.  it nests the emails for that sort of thing.  My mistake.

[variance]

Yeah its because the emails are identical.  Anyway where would you like those 11 hits?

[Shin-Ji]

Wow, some pretty poor luck there.  OK, so I’ll go full defense.

[Shin-Ji]

SO in this case, that’s 5 hits on the ACs, and 6 on the subs.

[variance]

OK so at the end of round 1 you have:
9 subs, 5 damaged carriers, 5 tacs, 8 fighters, 8 transports

I have:
2 subs, 5 destroyers, 3 cruisers, 9 fighters, 3 tacs, 1 battleship

[variance]

Round 2 I scored 12 hits.  Where would you like them?

[Shin-Ji]

The dice love you!  OK, I’ll lose my 9 remaining subs, and 3 of the damaged ACs.

[variance]

OK so at the end of round 2 you have:
2 damaged carriers, 5 tacs, 8 fighters, 8 transports

I have:
1 sub, 9 fighters, 3 tacs, 1 damaged battleship

[variance]

Round 3 I scored 8 hits.  Where would you like them?

[Shin-Ji]

2 carriers, 5 Tacs, 1 Ftr

[Shin-Ji]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnng

Nice shootin’ Tex!

[variance]

Victory!

[Shin-Ji]

Impressive!  You had a 26% chance to begin with, and that was assuming that all my kamis missed.  And seriously, what were the odds of that happening? :P
