That’s a big decision on the ANZAC fleet, I didn’t know if you would attack or not. Prepared for both.

That was a very interesting Archangel exchange

I just went in to hit and run some mechs for a turn or 2, and got that ridiculous luck. I hoped to retreat, but accidentally won when there was only a 10% chance of killing everything in that round. Also unlucky, the Russians hit 4/4 and now the defense goes 0/2

What a reversal! And I think few players would have attacked the Arc stack at all.

The Russians are not happy to have been skipped, and the flexed pecs are starting to rip the t-shirt

Scramble from India?
Scramble from Hawaii?

How could I not see your reply for the last 22 hours? I’ve refreshed, I’ve checked notifications, agh. We’ve been waiting on each other.

My brain was scrambled,
I just rolled 39 in Triple A and gave you max defense, but arguably shouldn’t have.

I think we are trying to wrap this one up and the difference between me taking a sub or a destroyer off is almost completely inconsequential.

I’d better roll 26 on forum.

Again, disappointing I didn’t see your post from 22 hours ago, I was surprised you hadn’t posted but you actually did.

So now we have the very interesting lashback at Hawaii after the US fleet lunged at the main Japanese force in the Carolines. Dramatically, 4 capital ships were damaged, and ANZAC did not attempt to finish them off but to defend this revenge.

Japs bring in 2 carriers, 7 subs, 2 destroyers, 2 cruisers, 1 battleship
6 fighters, 2 tactical bombers

ANZAC defends with 2 subs, 1 cruiser
USA defends with 2 subs, 1 destroyer, 2 carriers, 7 fighters

I can’t guess at your casualties because of the mixture of units, especially because I have 7 subs and you have 1 destroyer so I don’t know what you’ll lose

9 hits to allocate, here’s the current map, thanks badger!!!
