L23 PTV Shin-Ji (Axis +8) vs Nikola1975 (Allies)

@nikola1975 I honestly didn’t think it was statistically possible to roll that poorly. Off to make sacrifices to RNGeesus! Good thing it wasn’t a terribly important battle.

@nikola1975 Thanks. I feel like I made a lot of mistakes in Japan - that strike in Baja being perhaps the biggest - but I’m recovering now. Japan is not going to win this, but I don’t see how you stop Germany/Italy (Italy/Germany? lol) from winning.

This is why I like playing one game at a time. Less likely to forget something!

@nikola1975 I understand - just saw the news. I hope you and yours are safe.

@nikola1975 My understanding is that I cannot carrier scramble to SZ 22, as you have no surface warships there. I will do a full scramble to Paulau though. There are no other scramble opportunities that I see. Scrambling to 94 is pointless - I can’t hit your subs there.

@nikola1975 Hello?

Bump #4

That’s game.
