@Stucifer RE: bloodbath…wow!
Re: scramble for sub/transports. That’s what I thought the rule was, but the game asked for a scramble option so I thought maybe something had changed since I played last. It hadn’t come up in @mikawagunichi 's game.

@Stucifer Alfred Mahan would be proud of you. A decisive naval battle!
It was Halsey’s turn to be in charge of the fleet, he wasn’t going to miss the opportunity.
Launch everything!

All the kamikaze missed, blinded by the perfect teeth of the American sailors!
IJN forces off to a slow start on defence, but the first wave of the USN carrier strike is devastating.
Can Japan recover…?
Will the Americans run out of Coca-Cola causing them to become weak…? -

What a game! And what a thrilling denouement. I bet MacArthur damn near chomped the end of pipe off in anticipation when he heard the orders!

Thank you for a great game, and thank you so much for setting up a decisive battle. I had the pleasure of rolling that battle and it was a lot of fun. To be honest, overall I thought you played the better game, but I had luck on my side - especially so in that final show down.
I had to look up what denouement meant.
