1940.2 - Witt & PP Axis vs Colt & FMErwinRommel Allies (+25)

    I protest, after you continued fighting, I expected to give more OOL orders based on second round dice.  Since I think I inflicted only 4 hits on you round 1, I expected you to continue the attack, so I would have gone max defense, all hits on cv.


  • I apologise. I sank the CV with its load, as i only had three hits. I forgot you had list a Ft on  R1.

  • 2025 2024 '23 '22 '21 '20 '19

    I should have sunk 1 cv round 1 and saved a cr and ftr.  Would have given me 5 points more defense.  My dice didn’t help.  I accept the results, your pick of casualties in round 2 matched my OOL pref from round 1.  I would have traded dice in Siberia with the dice in the sea battle.  I won the inconsequential and lost the expensive one.


  • You lost the CV and took a hit on your undamaged one? Is that right? So you are owed a FT roll of 4. I made a mistake.
    Tell me what you would like to do.

    Is what you just aid fair to you? I wamrted to ask OOl on R2, but was convinced you could not say otherwise. But I had forgotten the lost Ft on R1. You should not pay for my mistake.

    I think we give you a 4 roll. If it hits, then we redo R4 completely.


  • DiceRolling 1d6:
    (1)

  • 2025 2024 '23 '22 '21 '20 '19

    Instead of redoing the entire round, choose your extra casualty and roll once for the unit that would have died, to see if it would have hit me in the next round


  • If you are sure. Had to be a Ft, asI had three.

    DiceRolling 1d6:
    (3)


  • So, what does that mean ? I am confused.

  • 2025 2024 '23 '22 '21 '20 '19

    Perhaps I have 3 units left on round 3, the ftr, plus another ftr that should not have died in round 4.  This is confusing.

  • 2025 2024 '23 '22 '21 '20 '19

    Meant to say 3 units left on round 5, so I get 2 more hits on round 5.  Plus maybe the first fighter gets to roll on round 4 also?


  • I thinbk I would have to retreat after R2. You had the damaged CV and damaged Battleship and three Fts. I would have 5 unuts only, giving me 18 vs 18.

  • I think that is it. I decided to lose the Bomber as the R2 casualty. YOUr three fTs ditch into thr sea. I moved Air back to SZ6 from China. I will scramc;e all three Fts , if you go all in. Max defence, please.
    What a headache ( of my own making). Have fun with your counterattack.


  • I have looked . There is no counterattack. I ddi enough to ensure SZ6 is safe.

  • 2025 2024 '23 '22 '21 '20 '19

    Thanks for being so gracious about trying to resolve the sea battle.  That’s the connundrum about taking cv as hits.  If the defender takes hits to the cv, it makes the defense stronger, so the attacker retreats.  But if I take the fighters as hits, the attacker continues.  Not having an isle or empty cv in adjacent sz was costly.

  • 2025 2024 '23 '22 '21 '20 '19

    I think U.S. lost 76 TUV, more than Japan.  Didn’t have enough cheap units to absorb hits.


  • I was not aware it was that much .
    Was too much for me to turn down. I
    Love a risky attack amd I was aware that you had no landing spot.


  • That is the spirit guys! If only everyone were equally gracious. 8-)

    So that was a +76 TUV battle for Japan? I forgive you your past misdemeanours Leo! :wink:


  • I should hope not . Uou are the weak link.

  • 2025 2024 '23 '22 '21 '20 '19

    76 was what I thought the USA loss was, which actually was 86.  I just calculated Japan loss at 66 or net +20, not as bad as I had feared.  USA 1 cv, 4 ftr, 2 cr, 1 sub.  JPN 1 cv, 2 dd, 1 bomber, 2 tac b.  USA absorbed 2 hits with damaged bb and cv that will repair at Hawaii, but ditched 3 ftrs.  USA move caused Japan to pull back from Southeast Asia and go defensive, thus reducing builds in China by one unit, and not building any mech.  Jpn will lose 3 exposed TT’s this round and likely a DD, plus the 2 DD from the sz16 battle.  The USA presence is also reduced.  USA built loaded cv and 2 DD, Jpn built empty cv and 1 dd.
