Jap 12 combat attached.

Big battle at Carolines. Japan scored 11 hits round 1, the sub missed, please assign casualties.
I can’t promise to finish the move tonight, its bed time but I wanted to post before that.

p.s.: Sorry I forgot to post combat moves before I rolled. However I guess this should be affect anything even in theory.

triplea_37262_Jap12combat.tsvg

Continuing now, I had to reload the map. I assume the dice will be the same if I click on the battle again. If not, I will roll in the forum.

Okay, you got your reveng, you scored 11 hits total in defense, so this battle might be a shortcut to the end.

Sir, I can’t explain that, I accidently took one plane too little off at Caro. Obviously only 6 planes could land and after the clearence at Caro, the casualty choice is not affected.
So I hope you don’t mind if I leave the damaged battleship.
However I don’t know how to add a damaged battle ship to the map. So I add an undamaged battleship. I assume you kill it anyway so you can roll that on the forum. ok?

All together the Allied defense was I don’t know how many hits above average. So we might have found a shortcut now.

And a double 3 as convoy roll after you scored 7 damage with 2 subs the round before. :)

So you got the dice you were waiting for.
After that turn now I believe Japan is the biggest loser dicewise in this game.
The air strike went 1 above average for you in terms of planes, the Chinese gambit one below. However from there we had 5/9 AA, the Caro battle and an way above average convoy rolls always all the time.

I think we are moving towards even dice-wise meanwhile.

Oh, once second please, I might reconsider NCM, let me think please.

mhh… no, go ahead please.
