This is a double game where each player plays both sides and the over-all winner is determined by adding the scores. The same dice are used for the initial air raids and for all submarine attacks throughout the game.
Mike as IJN
USN Report: Mike goes 1 area with a CVL in Coral. My Allies hit CPO with 3 CVs and Aleutians/Coral with 1 each. I lose 1 CV.
Rob as IJN
IJN Report: I go one area, Mike hits SPO with all 5 CV against my two LBA and Soryu. I sink 2 CV, but he sinks all three units in one round. Even worse, the lone DeRuyter patroller in CPO gets a night action, SINKS the lone IJN patroller, and only gets disabled in return. I'm now behind in bases, so try and take a little risk and save Yokasuka for T3 instead of converting Johnston Island.
Mike as IJN
USN Report: Mike converts Pearl, my LBA retreat after one round without doing any damage to his CVs that I can recall.
Rob as IJN
IJN Report: All 10 available CV steam to Hawaii, where the Allies save Pearl with one damaged LBA left, and having sunk 6 of the carriers!
Mike as IJN
USN Report: Given the failure to convert Pearl in the other game, I take a bit of a risk, and go for converting Indonesia. Things start out well as Wasp makes her speed roll, making it 4 USN CVs plus Illustrious and Hermes vs. 4 LBA and the I-boat. Mike's LBA shoot very well and hold the area.
Rob as IJN
IJN Report: After the failure to convert Pearl in the second game, and Indo in the first, the POC gap was going to widen to about 8 with Mike's IJN in a better position. I resigned the match.
