will need casualty OOL for Wake. My odds here are 33% but I was thinking that my odds of preventing you from taking Hawaii in two turns if I didn’t go for it would probably be lower.

As I look at this more I’m second guessing my choice, but I’ve committed.

well that was interesting. I retreated  with a damaged battleship and 2 fighters. You survived with a damaged battleship and 3 fighters. I’m now thinking through NCMs but that might take a bit.

@Karl7:

yeah, you got luck, or rather I rolled pretty bad

It was pretty close. I narrowly had the dice in the first round and you had it in the second. The third round was good for me  though and made the difference. Still not sure if this was the best option. I thought I could retreat and build a counter too but was worried you could put blockers down to block a landing.

I’m around, at least a bit. Can at least get to Anzac right away
