Good game last night, Yamato sank the USS Iowa; vital roll, sank the USS New Jersey; vital roll, and lastly sank the USS Alaska it took 4 turns with secondaries to sink her.
IJN had 5 ships vs USN with 16 ships...
Their ship their coffin The cruel dark sea their grave.
Sound like a great game (and that you were playing IJN). I'm sure the person playing the USN is still cursing some dice rolls. j/k
With main guns I can sink something. Give me torpedoes not so much. I went three games where I fired over 35 dice worth of torpedoes and never got a single hit. Lesson learn, do not take torpedoes...

Oscsusnret did forgot to mention the installations and forward airstrips on the island were pasted by games end. Also, the Japanese had the U.S. pretty well outgunned in aircraft and luck. On the second turn, they shot down two squadrons of Corsairs leaving us with three aircraft to about 8 and one of ours, being a Catalina, flew only a single mission the entire game. The Japanese did eventually start losing planes but to darkness return roles, not allied action. We had the wrong build for the action, heavy on light ships.
