Farmboy (Allies) vs simon33 (Axis) BM3

[farmboy]

attacking Philippines Sea with 1 fighter, 1 tac, 1 bomber and 1 destroyer. You have 2 destroyers and a carrier. I will post the save game shortly although right now I keep getting an error message when I post.

You have the option of a suicide attack on the destroyer. I will wait a few minutes but will assume 1 and then continue the  combat. If you want to change that, this should be an easy combat to fix and it shouldn’t affect the rest of the game play to redo.

see the comments above.

I’m going to keep the sixth Kami. Other than that, all good.

Bummer, I don’t think I checked what could reach SZ35. Saw the bomber and DD of course. Worst part is losing the TT!

[farmboy]

I lucked out there. Both in the opportunity and in the dice rolls. But on the plus side, you have a loaded carrier you can wipe out.

You achieved both things!

[farmboy]

Closed the file as I had made an error on the British turn (before combat). I thought I had posted the US and China but it turns out I hadn’t. Can redo and edit based on the combat results for China and the US and then redo the UK turn. Sorry.

[farmboy]

But will have to get to this later as well.

[simon33]

np. Hopefully the autosave upgrades in the prerelease engine will be applied to the standard release shortly.

[farmboy]

just realized that I had an autosave anyway from the end of the China turn. Didn’t realize those were saved. Might not be able to get to the UK turn though until tomorrow morning (hopefully sooner).

[simon33]

I’d be careful with old style autosave’s. save them somewhere before playing with Triple-A. They can easily be overwritten.
