Ok. your moves .
Judge, its upto you.... but you have 200pts in objectives and yamato isnt crippled yet, you also have 45pts in kills. If you declare withdrawel you can run to the map edge and at best I get one torp to chase you with as Im not planning on getting my BB's any closer to your last sub! you can still get yamato clear before I can cripple her and thus have a good chance to be the highest scoreing looser and go onto the semi's with a heavy BB and a ton of subs and fighters.
Its a very late war IJN thing to do! Kurita legged it after finding Stamps Taffy II at the tail end of his abortive Sprague bashing.
If you want to stick it out thats fine too, But Im keeping my heavy units back so its going to be a sub stalking exercise.... anyway its up to you.

As usual, I don't get the hit when I really need it-
Funny thing is, all I need to do is kill Tirpitz and the game is over, I need 55 points for the win.
Let's go one more turn and see what happens-

Sorry, was really busy yesterday and last night.
Here is the map after my moves. If you refer to the previous map, Tirpitz was in E7 and can't make it to G9 this turn so I put her in F9.
I don't see any surface shots this turn and I have the only sub shot at this point but want to make sure your move is ok. I think, where ever Tirpitz goes, I'll have a shot with my sub, unless you move closer to it.

Hi mike... I was off yest as well so "no worries" as they say.
T's move fine... f7
lets get your moves and a map out in your traditional (and splendid) manner...
looks like its chess time! neither of us are going to make any hipper death rides or last samurai charges... too much at stake.
|
DaJudge

We tied on our init roll, you have to reroll first.
I also need to clarify, you want Tirpitz in F7 with Bismarck? That kind of changes things as I would get an extra torpedo. Please clarify and reroll.

I think the issue was that Tirpitz couldn't make it to G9 that turn, only to F9 from where it was the turn before. No harm no foul though.

thats my match....
Mike... that was the most nail chewing lunchtime of my wargaming life.
You put up one hell of a fight!
at least Bismark and Admiral alive... no screen left, no Flot leader and a very strong chance of facing a 2nd Yam build in semi's
DAMN ! this is VERY brutal

Wow- what a match. I'm sure that's what our opponents were hoping for as well.
Have to add up the points-
Me-
2 objectives- 200
Ships- Tirpitz- 55, Karlsruhe- 10, Z20 x3- 24, 2 subs- 22- 111 total
Total- 311
You-
1 objective- 100 points
Ships- Yamato-67, Musashi- 63, 2 Akitsuki- 20, 3 subs- 45 Total- 195
Total- 295
However- you destroyed my surface fleet which is worth points, 75 or 100, I forget but either way, you'll win. If Yamato survived, I would have won.
Great match Russ and good luck in the next round! 
Maybe they will do another reinforcement so you can get some ships back.

After that match I think whatever our future opponants were thinking they will now be thinking ... DAMN! these two guys are killers!
I wish we could both have stayed in old chap... your a great opponant and I wish you the very best for your future Tourneys!
Now I still have a BB, two BC's a Pocket battleship and cruisers, 1 gaster only tho... good subs and 4 good fighters.
I pray that Tims air gets thins out!

DaJudge, you might not be out of the running yet...
Packertim or RvM is going to be out for sure, as one of them will have a record of 1-3. The other one will have 2-2, the same as yours. I will either have a coin flip, or a dice-off, or maybe even a sub-round to determine who goes.
And I daresay that the semifinals might not be what everyone expects....
