Play during an offensive; at the end of all combat against any active Allied naval units or against any active Allied naval unit, if no battle hexes were declared during the Offensive. On a die roll of: 0-7: Allies lose one naval step (Japanese choice; can eliminate a unit). 8-9: No Effect. Draw one Strategy Card.

OC: 3 EC: 0

Message from Japanese:
* 3416 (Palau Islands): [7 AD] is eliminated

After the battle, I-58 looks for the USS New Jersey.
0-7 to inflict a step loss.
504 4/28/2026 7:11:00 PM May-Aug 1944 Japanese 66 2 Event #66: 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.

OC: 4 EC: 0

Message from Japanese:
I am reasonably confident that I can use the air unit under attack at Tokyo to take the step loss in the battle at Iwo Jima. The Kamikaze is resolved prior to the battle being resolved. Step 10 before Step 11.
