Again another big loss. If I had won that battle (63%) and cleared the Pacific the gap had been filled!
Now I have very little chance, sigh  :cry:

Um, going into round 2 of that battle you only had 35% chance of victory and you got an average roll, so I’m not sure why you assumed I would lose a carrier and cruiser and didn’t ask.

Normally if I choose maximum defense for my opponent and some of his units survive, I allow him to choose his survivors after the fact.  What do you think?

lso, why do you think I chose to take off the destroyer in the first round, when you have 3 submarines?  Clearly I was hoping to save a carrier.  Otherwise there is no reason to take the destroyer off in the first round.

There was not much difference chosing the destroyer or the carrier in the first place, as the subs had to be chosen as casualties. Maybe I could have saved one for the next round hadn’t you hit so hard.
About your complaining, my view is that I did the best thing for you. It was vital for you not to lose that battle, save the battleship and ultimately your transport so using all available resources. I would have not speculate about a carrier or a cruiser at that point. As I told you, if I had won that battle you would no longer been ahead anymore. Even with 35% I tried another round for that reason, and I retreated only after your final roll which was again above average.
That was my thinking and my assumption but I was again wrong not asking you. Sorry for that, from now on I promise that I won’t assume anymore. I let you change your casualties, but if you do so I have to revise my noncombat move with the edit function.
