NP. Thanks for coming back with the turn. I would need a couple days with my turn.
It’s a good idea to not let the USA roll dice on the 4th of July
@gamerman01 Oops, just saw farmboy/booper/JDOW posts that were before mine. I agree with them - when the upload function fails we just wait a day or two.
Upload works for me now!

Sure. Will try to get you rolling dice on the 7th of December.:blush:
What is wrong with my notifications?
I’m just now seeing you did J4.
If you come to Z26 with 5 fighters and 5 tactical bombers and I have a battleship, cruiser and destroyer, you will do well.
Didn’t make a difference this time, but
friendly reminder that amphibious assault battles must be rolled first, thanks
(nod to @JDOW for teaching me that years ago)
Spend kamikazes at the Marianas?
Will most likely need casualty choice at 91, but didn’t roll yet because I thought you might not appreciate that roll being done on the forum. Just playing it safe.
@gamerman01
Please scramble two kamikazes.
And wherever you roll the dice, let’s go step by step in sz91. Probably I won’t be able to respond immediately.

Absolutely
Kamikaze hit, I assume Japanese submarine submerges
@gamerman01 Damage AC & BB, lose sub
I assume Japanese submarine submerges
Correct
Thank you
Rolling round 2
You got your 3 hits, one from sub…
Let’s see…
OK, I’m losing the carrier and a sub.
Triple A rolls your subs first and makes me choose.
Then other ships and makes me choose
Then fighters.
According to rules, I don’t have to choose until they’re all rolled.
I took a sub hit, a hit from other ships, and a hit from fighters
So I can take off 1 sub and the carrier, but I had chosen the carrier for the first 2 hits and then couldn’t choose the sub.
So… I’m going to roll on forum from here
USA has 1 sub, 1 destroyer, 1 cruiser, 4 fighters
v
Germany 1 sub, 1 damCarrier, 1 cruiser, 1 damBattleship, 2 fighters
Round 2 attack
USA sub surprise strike [dice 1d6<3]
