I-28- E7

I-17- B5
I-18- D5
I-19- E5

Musashi to E3
I-17, 18, & 19 move forward one sector each.

Not sure if I can do this map or not, I've been having problems with photoshop.

DaJudge

Now you thought you set up first. errf

Sorry.

We both took the same side.

Can you handle the map for this game?

DaJudge

DaJudge

That was huge for me to win this intiative

Here come the Kamikazes!! Shocked

The_lucky_Y

with real dice that never happens I swear.

here the map with my movement

By The_Lucky_Y

DaJudge

I know, I've seen it way to much.

Last game I played, Exeter made THREE Determination rolls in 2 turns and sunk a Admiral Scheer with a single torpedo, all in 2 turns. Ridiculous. Once in a while, I'll hit 2 out of 3 on torpedoes but that's very rare and happens all the time on here.

Here are my moves-

I-21 to G6
I-28 to G5
I-27 to F6
I-26 to D6
I-19 to E6

Musashi will go to A9

The_lucky_Y

deleted (wrong Map)

The_lucky_Y

wrong ma<l image shack laggs stupidly long....

Use photobucket. Has never screwed up for me.

By The_Lucky_Y

The_lucky_Y

I 19 C vs I - 26 Rolls: (3d6)

I 19 B vs I - 19 Rolls: (3d6)

kamikazes over musashi both

DaJudge

I-19, 27, & 21 are in the wrong sectors, they should each be NORTH 1 sector.

I-19 in E6 with Musashi, I-27 in F6, and I-21 in G6.

Are the Kamikazes coming this turn? I have to leave in about 35 minutes and would love to get this turn done at least but you could certainly still win this game.

DaJudge

So, I-27 would get hit, NOT I-19.

AA over Musashi- first shot- Rolls: (7d6)

2nd shot at other plane- Rolls: (5d6)

I'll do my subs after.

The_lucky_Y

kamikazes both to musashi this turn

winning this game is as possible as the kamikaze can vital your musashi

The_lucky_Y

trying to vital your Musashi or at least damaging with the lone kamikaze

Rolls: (9d6)

DaJudge

You get 1 bomb attack on Musashi-

My subs-

I-21 shoots 4 at Yamashiro w/Finish Him Off- Rolls: (4d6)

I-28 gets 3 @ Yamashiro- Rolls: (3d6)

I-27 (sunk) gets 3 @ Yamashiro- Rolls: (3d6)

I-19 w/Finish Him Off @ Musashi- Rolls: (4d6)

I-26 will await the results before shooting.

DaJudge

Uggh- was hoping to get at least 2 on Yamashiro but just 1 damage.

I-26 will try to kill Musashi- Rolls: (3d6)

DaJudge

UGGH- You get 2 objectives-

Initiative roll- Rolls: (2d6)

+1

reroll- Rolls: (2d6)

I have to go get ready so lets do this turn tomorrow if that's cool. I'll at least try and do moves before I leave in a little bit.

The_lucky_Y

I get both objectives the Musashi is still alive..never expect that outcome

The_lucky_Y

ok my init

Rolls: (2d6)

Rolls: (2d6)

yamashiro slow

Rolls: (1d6)

The_lucky_Y

loosing init slow roll fails....

yamashiro one space to G7( that slow fail would be the kill)

Musashi to D5

all subs one sector north

The_lucky_Y

here is the map

hope your subs are on the right places(before you move them this turn)

By The_Lucky_Y

The_lucky_Y

All loudspeakers on Musashi and Yamashiro set on maximum power and play this song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnfFTVjRpLI

DaJudge

Musashi to A10

I-19 to D5 with your Musashi
I-26 to C7
I-28 to G6
I-21 to G7 with Yamashiro

No air so I'll do some sub shots and then I have to go for the night.

I-19 4 torps @ Musashi- Rolls: (4d6)

I-26 at your sub in the same sector- Rolls: (3d6)

I-26 in G6 2 Yamashiro - Rolls: (3d6)

I-21 @ Yamashiro- Rolls: (4d6)

C ya tomorrow.....

DaJudge

Musashi finally sunk, one turn to late.

Yamashiro takes another damage.

DaJudge

I-19 was wrong from the turn before. It was in the same sector as Musashi and followed her this turn.

The_lucky_Y

I-28 is still in the wrong sector, should be in G6. The bottom sector is H6.

DaJudge

Musashi will hold firm

I-19 to D6
I-26 to B7

DaJudge

I actually win the initiative since I have the flag bonus and yours is gone. Sad

The_lucky_Y

you win the game due to rolling much more 6 than i ever can.

yamashiro stays crippled

last I-19 moves one sector in direct line towards the coward battleship.

and those mirroe matches are never sheduled at the beginning of the tournament and in addittion not the size of the previous battles....

doing some math

gaining two objectives make 150 points
taking out three subs two worth 16 points and on worth 13 points pull me up to 198 points

had to take the last objective thats impossible with an crippled slow 2 battleship

b had to take out the musashi thats need more 6 rolls than I ever roll in 1ooo rolls

c take out at least two more subs with one must be worth 16 points, impossible too with only one sub on my side that have to follow two targets

DaJudge

I understand. I hate the mirror match also but I guess they did the brackets according to points or something, I'm not even sure. I just caught the 6's, that's what it's all about with subs or torpedo planes.

I lost an I-19 and 2 I-26's

You lost 2 I-19, Musashi, and Yamashiro crippled and 2 Kamikaze of course.

DaJudge

Are we continuing though? You posted a move, my sub will follow your sub and my other 2 subs move towards Yamashiro. Musashi will move towards the objective and hope you don't cripple me before I take the objective and sink Yamashiro.

DaJudge

To be exact-

I-26 to B8
Musashi to B8
I-21 to F6
I-19 to D5

If we're doing another turn of course, or do you want to call it done?

Aquarius

Don't forget that you can withdraw your forces from combat.

The_lucky_Y

I never say anything about worse rolls but in this game I got more than the lions share on worse rolls especially those who decides the whole game.

for e,g 2times 9 torpedo rolls and only one hit and the counterstrike contains much more with a higher dice number of course.

only one time I get some luck that the crippled musashi can take the center objective.

the arguing about mirror match is that i would know that I have only mirror matches I can bring some emiliys in my init build knowing that they not face 10 dice throwing hellcats

move your vessels I have some vessels afloat especially one sub that can do some damage

The_lucky_Y

Aquarius

All you have to do is declare that you are breaking off.

You lose the game, of course, but you get to keep your units.

The_lucky_Y

if I understand the rules correct the units have the reach the ground line of a map to draw back and I cannot draw back because I elimated then too,so either what I choose im dead so i choose the option to deal as much damage to you as I can and qith a 0.00001^% chance i can pull a phyrrus victory on my own.

Aquarius

Ah yes. My bad.

The_lucky_Y

please make your move so I know what is going

DaJudge

The_lucky_Y

yamashiro cannot move because is crippled and have slow SA the slow SA roll failed so it stays suddenly at the old position.

The_lucky_Y

ok 4 torpedos at musashi from my last sub

Rolls: (4d6)

DaJudge

I-19 @ Yamashiro range 3- Rolls: (2d6)

I-21 @ Yamashiro range 2- Rolls: (3d6)

I-26 @ I-19C - Rolls: (3d6)

DaJudge

That will finish it up.

I definitely got the better rolls. What can you do?

Good game Lucky Y, thanks.

The_lucky_Y

never choose any axis builds any more thats the lesson I learned.

and i say once more that I not trust that dice roller beeing real random, it cannot be real random due to the randomness of random itself.

DaJudge

The_lucky_Y

okay that outcome would eliminate me total by loosing all pieces of my fleet.

and you loose some essential units that help you to beat any allied build if you face them in the next games....

and I construct the initial fleet as complete fleet never thought about how good smaller parts of them could work, adding Musashi,Yamashiro and Zuikaku in the initial build eat up so much set 2 points that I never can bring some Emilys or even Isokazes(all surface units below armor 8 are cannon fodder for any us air units) , because the IJN need that midrange BB as like the Yamashiro. Lacking on real ASW in set one my ASW wold rely on the I-19 itself, the do their work in this game average - good but I expect that you can bring two battleships on your side so I mus bring at least two battleships too or I loose any objective grabbing run because deniing the objectives with subs only works not very often.

congrulations to you 4 the victory
