Hi All -

I’m located in Japan and trying to learn to be a decent player at 1942 SE online. (Damn you dice roller!)

Cheers,

@boston_nwo Thanks for the invite, I joined.

Would love to see low luck dice in ranked game. I keep loose battle that I have 90% odds in my favor. :)

@mefisto Well I’m Silver 500th hehe :) So you are awesome to me.

Well not sure if it’s good, but I usually never attack the SZ11 transport with germany’s subs. I focus on the UK fleet with those submarines instead to make sure I don’t lose that battle.

@aardvarkpepper Thanks for the long posts. I read it all. This is a lot to think about.

@aardvarkpepper Sorry I meant, I lost my fleet in East indies and I still went ahead doing pearl harbor. I ended up with nothing left in the pacific and got KJF.

I basically learn… That when you lost east indies from UK, should have bought fleet in R1 immediately, probably 3-4 subs to prepare for KJF. Also shouldn’t do Pearl in the future, if I lost my East Indies fleet.

Make sense? :)

Thanks!

@boston_nwo said in Japan R1 attack on pearl harbor:

borneo

Yeah. I did pearl harbor after UK destroyed borneo’s Japan fleet. I lost that game badly against a gold player. :\

I’m like rank 450 in Silver now hehe… A lot to learn.

Wow… I have a lot to read. Thanks for all the advice, might come back with more questions later. :)

@boston_nwo Do you mind elaborating what you would do instead with those 2-3 planes on round 1. Ground battle?

@brian-cannon You are correct. That was my problem. Thank you!!!

Hi -

I hope you guys don’t mind another pearl harbor question as Japan.

Most strategy imply that submarine in SZ44 is still around to attack Pearl Harbor, but in 100% of my game it was destroyed by UK.

Without the sub, this leave me with 2 fighter, 1 bomber, 1 cruiser to attack pearl harbor, with the Aircraft carrier I leave in SZ 52. This is only a +/- 60% odd of winning (https://aacalc.freezingblue.com/)

Most of the time I lose the battle, at best it’s a draw and I lose everything and USA as well. In all my game, never one of my plane survived.

Would you attack pearl harbor with those odds? Usually if I don’t attack pearl harbor the massive USA fleet becomes a pain in the neck quite early on.

Thought?
