It is now end of turn. The game is over.

Thank you for the match. You play it aggressively. I had to keep on my toes. Those two amphibious assaults where you lost all your ground forces were key to the result. Take care and hope to play against you on the ladder board again.

400 3/5/2025 6:43:00 AM May-Aug 1943 Japanese Play Strategy card as Event #43: 1 / Tojo Resigns: Moderates in Power
If the game turn is 1944 or later, this card must be played as an event otherwise it is a Japanese option to play as an event, an OC, or discard. Reduce US Political Will by two. The Allied Manchurian Invasion card's prerequisite has been met. Flip the game turn marker from its PM Tojo to its Tojo Resigns side as a reminder. RESHUFFLE: If this card is played as an OC or a discard, reshuffle the Japanese deck at the end of this game turn. This card may not be played as a Future Offensive. Remove from play if used as an event.

357 2/27/2025 10:09:00 PM May-Aug 1943 Japanese Message And lastly, if by chance all the moves were legitimate, they would take more than 3ASP's.
M Bgde, 1M div, SF Bgde and W Bgde each take 1 ASP = 4 ASP's
X Corps takes two ASP's

for a total of 6 ASP's (you only have 5). Don't forget to restore them before redoing your move.
356 2/27/2025 10:05:00 PM May-Aug 1943 Japanese Message Sorry for not looking at your move more carefully. After doing so I see:
1) Wasp and X Corps cannot move from Oahu to Japan. The most they can travel is 15 hexes on a 3OC.
2) 1M div on Maloelap is out of supply. It cannot activate, because the 10AF LRB does not neutralize AZOI's.

353 2/27/2025 9:23:00 PM May-Aug 1943 Japanese Message And now that I think of it, you can only have 1 battle hex on a card used for ops, so you have to redo it anyway. I will return the card I drew and take back the reaction card I played at any rate.
352 2/27/2025 9:20:00 PM May-Aug 1943 Japanese Message Doh, you are right. It is surprise, no reaction allowed, but that does not really hurt Japan. Do you want to redo your move or do you want me to roll the ground combat knowing that there are 12-12's in each of those hexes?
351 2/27/2025 6:02:00 PM May-Aug 1943 Japanese Message After all that do you want to rewind the log and redo your turn? If so, I will return the card I drew and take back my Kamikaze card from the discard pile.
350 2/27/2025 6:00:00 PM May-Aug 1943 Japanese Message Actually, since Allies lost the a/n battle in Nagoya the invasion was thwarted. The ground units retreat back to friendly hexes in PBM. However, X Corps still loses the step in a/n battle.

Now, that I am thinking about it, the ground battle in Hakodate would not have taken place either. M Bgde takes a hit in a/n combat and retreats in PBM.

* Eliminated AL Ground Units: W Brigade moves to 3706 (Tokyo)
* Eliminated AL Ground Units: [X Corps] moves to 3706 (Tokyo)
* Eliminated AL Ground Units: [M Brigade] moves to 3704 (Hakodate)
* dgee (Japan) sets Political Will to 2
And the intrinsic defense unit in Nagoya was not eliminated either.

Whew, that was fun. And it shows why you want to be careful in grabbing at Japan even when it has no maneuver units.

344 2/27/2025 5:28:00 PM May-Aug 1943 Japanese Play Strategy card as Event #61: 2 / Kamikaze Attack
Play prior to one battle of the Offensive that is within 11 hexes of Tokyo (3706) and within extended range of a Japanese air unit. The Japanese player eliminates two Allied naval steps (Japanese player's choice, may not eliminate a unit unless there is no other option), while reducing the Japanese air unit whose range was used one step (even if this would eliminate the air unit). No more than one Kamikaze per battle, but more than one Kamikaze per offensive is allowed. Draw One Strategy Card. Remove from play if used as an event.

* 3706 (Tokyo): CV Wasp is eliminated
343 2/27/2025 5:14:00 PM May-Aug 1943 Japanese Message - Are you familiar with rule 7.26? "There must be at least one declared battle hex within range of this HQ (this range cannot be blocked by any means); if there are no such HQs, no reaction is possible. Any units the reacting HQ activates may join any declared battle that they can reach, including those that are out of range of the reacting HQ."
- Note that Hakodate is out of range of both CFHQ and SSHQ.
- However, both HQ's are in range of Tokyo, so either can react to the battle in Hokodate
- Ominato is out of range of SSHQ, but again Tokyo is in range, so SSHQ can react to all three battle hexes.

* 4715 (Kwajalein): CV Soryu moves to 3806

- The attack at Ominato is thwarted. The landing units take a step loss and return to base in PBM
* 3705 (Ominato) : [SF Brigade] suffers a step loss.
- Per 8.45.B, "Each enemy unit. The ground unit must finish its movement in a friendly port. A given ground unit may not combine Strategic Ground Trans- ground unit takes a one step loss and does not take part in the battle in the hex."
- so 1M takes a step loss too.

Message from Japanese:
I'll entertain this, because it is within the rules of the game. However, you have not captured the hexes yet. Each of those hexes has an inherent 12-12 intrinsic defense. You have to earn them first. Let's see if the JP is sleeping with one eye open.
