Round 3: Masterchief (lost) Vs. EvilKobra (WON) 
Time for your semi-finals match.
The map is the same. The new limit is 150 pts. Each of the three objectives is for 50 pts and you win at 150 pts.
We play historical limits and each ground-base can hold 6 aircraft.
The map for round 3:
Masterchief (Sprague), post your fleet first and then goes EvilKobra (Spruance).

Sprague's Fletchers have AA 7 (!), ASW 6 (!), 3/3 torps, and the same gunnery as a Javelin.
No sub chaser or smoke, but armor 3 and chase the salvoes make them very survivable. Wildcat strafing isn't really an option.
...and they also cost 6 points!

NM that, highest roller goes first, say the rules (doesn't make much sense for a symmetric map, but it makes little difference).

I've been thinking long and hard... considering whether to concede the match right now (I think it's lost - those two lost inits came at the critical moment, and Masterchief's moves were unforgivingly perfect). But it's more fun to fight, and who knows, the Dice Gods are fickle.

EvilKobra

Aye, that I will.
Fantastic game Masterchief  You played extremely well - the only mistake (or, rather, risky gamble) I can think of was to fire the Iowa's mains at Missouri instead of Toledo last round. Anyhow I did get lucky near the end, which helped a lot.
Now let's open Photoshop and get crackin'
And then...
...off to the final duel!
