The I-Boat Raid and CPO Withdrawal adjustments are in play.
Alfred's Report
T2
IJN puts 2, 4 & 7 patrollers in CS, USM & HI. LBA: Indo - 3, SPO - 2, Mars - 1.
I place patrollers and LBA aggressively in Mari, SPO, Mars CPO, NPO & CS.
IJN supports SPO, Mars & HI enough to scare me away. I attack everywhere else except Indo.
T3
I use all 5 LBA and fleet to save Pearl.
T4 & T5
IJN holds core areas of Indo, JI, Mari, SPO, Mars & CPO. USN holds rest.
T6
IJN defends CPO too strongly; I have to go elsewhere. Marines take Kwajalein &
Lae. IJN controls Indo, JI, Mari & CPO.
T7
2 NLF get night in Indo on even roll to chase 10 LBA. Instead of supporting LBA
I decide to patrol other areas. There will be no easy win for me.
T8
I can't get enough patrollers in JI. Somehow 3 survive great IJN shooting. 3 LBA
only need to disable one of two NLF to save AI, but they sink one. LBA in Mari
disables Yorktown, but 6 shots back shoot it down. Then Bataan gets day and
sinks Yamashiro. Net result I somehow sweep board.
POC = 0; adjusted = 4.5 for USN
Anders played very well. I thought he had the edge most of the game, and I doubted I could pull it out.
