16L BM2 -Pete (Allies) vs simon33 (Allies)

[-Pete]

It’s actually legal to move out and back as far as I can tell.

http://www.wizards.com/avalonhill/rules/A&A_Europe_1940_2ndEd_Rulebook_LR.pdf

page 13 of the rulebook… let me know what you think

[-Pete]

gotta sleep tty tomorrow.

@Europe:

Sea Units Starting in Hostile Sea Zones
At the beginning of the Combat Move phase, you might
already have sea units (and air units on carriers) in spaces
containing enemy units that were there at the start of
your turn. For example, an enemy might have built new
surface warships in a sea zone where you have sea units.
When your turn comes around again, you are sharing that
sea zone with enemy forces.
13If you are sharing a sea zone with surface warships (not
submarines and/or transports) belonging to a power with
which you are at war, this situation requires you to do one
of the following:
through sea combat before the amphibious assault can
commence.
• Remain in the sea zone and conduct combat,
• Leave the sea zone, load units if desired, and conduct
combat elsewhere,
• Leave the sea zone, load units, and return to the same
sea zone to conduct combat (you can’t load units while
in a hostile sea zone), or
• Leave the sea zone and conduct no combat. Moving transports and their cargo into a sea zone from
which you plan to make an amphibious assault counts as
a combat move, even if there are no defending surface
warships there and there is no potential for air units to be
scrambled (see “Scramble,” page 16). This is also true of
any units that will support the assault. Further, if enemy
air units could potentially be scrambled to defend the sea
zone, additional units may be moved into the sea zone to
combat them in case they are indeed scrambled.
Once these sea units have moved and/or participated in
combat, they can’t move or participate in the Noncombat
Move phase of the turn.

Seems pretty clear to me.

ok got it. I stopped reading at pg 13, thought it covered everything.

so as it stand the battle in sz 6 is 3 carriers one dd. all the air went to overkill your dd in the neighbouring sz. you still wanna do 3 sets of 2 kamis on the carriers and full scram or some other combo?

[simon33]

There’s 3DDs 3CVs and 1sub vs 1DD and up to 3 fighters?

Let’s do it like this: 1 Kami on each ship and full scramble.

DD Kamis:
Rolling 3d6:
(3, 4, 5)

CV Kamis
Rolling 3d6:
(1, 5, 5)

I guess I can assume you jumped out to an adjacent SZ.

First round goes like this, assuming you didn’t bring in sub in SZ26:

Attackers:
SubRolling 1d6:
(3)  
DDRolling 1d6:
(4)

Defenders:
Rolls: 1@2 3@4; Total Hits: 01@2: (5)3@4: (6, 5, 5)

You didn’t say that you wanted to change any of this for whatever reason.

[simon33]

Continue or retreat?

[-Pete]

continue

[simon33]

Wow!

SubRolling 1d6:
(4)  
DDRolling 1d6:
(1)

Defenders:
Rolls: 1@2 3@4; Total Hits: 11@2: (4)3@4: (6, 1, 5)

[simon33]

I’ll lose the DD.

[-Pete]

I can’t retreat as I never left sz 6 in the first place

[simon33]

@-Pete:

I can’t retreat as I never left sz 6 in the first place

We can assume you did, just not to SZ19 because it’s hostile. There would be no reason not to.

[-Pete]

alright time to retreat then
