Message from Japanese:
The ground battle is a foregone conclusion, but for the hell of it:

BH(D) Ground

AP: 66 (auto)
JP: 9
505 1/1/2025 5:51:00 PM May-Aug 1944 Japanese Message Alright, math again... AP gets *0.5, so 66.

Yamato (18), Nagato (14), Shokaku (12), Taiho (12), and an AF (10) is 66 exactly. Let's assume that for argument.

JP transfers a hit from Zuikaku to Junyo. I'm not sure there's any way for you to avoid these hijinks. This leaves JP with 61 in the battle.

Now our hits:

* 3014 (Samar/Leyte) : [BB Washington] suffers a step loss.
* 3014 (Samar/Leyte) : [BB Missouri] suffers a step loss.
* 3215 : [CV Shangri La] suffers a step loss.
* 3215 : [CV Hancock] suffers a step loss.
* 3215 : [CV Intrepid] suffers a step loss.
* 3215 : [CV Franklin] suffers a step loss.

That's 88. Leaving you with: 80. AP wins the dramatic naval clash! And I think my judgement was correct--I don't think it was mathematically possible to win this, unless of course I got a crit.

AD is eliminated, no damage to CVL Cowpens.

I think the ground combat is auto; 4-8 can't hurt the intrinsic defense of 12, and with halved defense it is autoeliminated.

You'll have to explain to me later why you carried out some of these other attacks which aren't mandated by the card...

This event ends a US inter-service rivalry. Flip the US Inter-Service Rivalry marker to its Strategic Agreement side. If the US Inter-Service Rivalry marker is already on Strategic Agreement side there is no additional effect. Bonus: In addition the Allied player immediately receives 3 Chinese ground and 1 Allied air replacement steps that must be used immediately (cannot be saved) on in supply units. Allied air units can be in the air units in China box. In addition, the Allies may immediately construct the Jarhat Trans Route for no cost. If Jarhat already constructed then either Ledo or Imphal may be constructed. Remove from play if used as an event.

468 11/15/2024 1:31:00 AM May-Aug 1944 Japanese Play Strategy card as Event #35: 3 / Operation KE: Guadalcanal Evacuation
Choose a Japanese occupied coastal hex. Up to 3 Japanese ground units in the chose hex and all adjacent hexes (that do not have to be coastal hexes) may conduct strategic naval movement (with no amphibious shipping points required) from these hexes to any single friendly port hex. No battles may be initiated. The move is unaffected by Allied air ZOI, however all other conditions for a strategic naval move apply.

OC: 5 EC: 0

Message from Japanese:
OK, I'm not sure if the card works this way. "The move is unaffected by Allied air ZOI," which I take to mean that the unit can be out of supply and I don't have to actually activate it?

This is what I'd like to do:

* 3820 (Admiralty Islands): [4 SN Bde] moves to 2915 (Davao)
* 2915 (Davao): [4 SN Bde] is in supply.

I could actually evacuate GC itself, but that wouldn't be useful at this point.

441 11/6/2024 1:40:00 AM May-Aug 1944 Japanese Message Yeah, basically now I'll get -2 VPs, which offsets the +2 I got for pushing PW down 2 with Tojo. Of course if we had another turn to play I'd also lose a card, but we won't have to cross that bridge.

Incidentally, PM Tojo doesn't sound too different from where we've ended up... but that's another story. Hope you're not feeling too bad!

OK, I'll just PASS again.
440 11/5/2024 8:19:00 PM May-Aug 1944 Allies Play Strategy card as Event #79: 3 / Soviets Invade Manchuria
Manchuria: If Tojo has resigned, then this card MUST be played as an event, otherwise it can only be played as an OC. If played as the event the Japanese permanently lose two Resource Hexes (3302 and 3303). Place a Soviet Flag in each hex to denote Allied control that counts for Progress of the War. Bonus: If China has not surrendered, move the China marker two boxes toward or into the Stable Front box.. RESHUFFLE: If played as an OC or discarded, place this card back in the deck and reshuffle the deck at the end of the game turn. If played as the event, permanently remove this card from the deck and do NOT reshuffle. This card may not be played as a Future Offensive.

So, I vote yes.

You're probably right that we should take these cards out of the equation. Or at minimum you need the resource hex penalty, because here Manchuria won't really matter (though in large part because it's the last turn).
