I bid a sub in Z106. Do you still want to attack it?
-
Ooops, my bad. I’ll add in your subs and continue the attack.
-
If you want to revise your plan that is fine.
-
Otherwise, no scramble.
-
It’s interesting how the scramble is about an equal tradeoff of fighters for equal value of ships in both cases. So I’d be happy to trade the French fighter, but otherwise I want my UK planes.
What’s the goal of not attacking Normandy? It should be possible most of the time (90%?) to get France and Normandy. I partially screwed myself in one game when I didn’t get Vichy established (a small mistake which was the first of many). I guess the $3 revenue is good too, but I think Vichy is better.
-
Hey… sorry I didn’t catch this sooner. You said Z96 - you have to put bid units into territories you already have a unit in - did you mean SZ 98?
-
Ahh yes Z98. Hard to see on my map. So subs on Z106 and Z98. Thanks.

I figured it was my bad in 106 so I just kept the sub there but then… your sub wasn’t counter-attacking in 106 so I just retreated out of the battle. You can blow it up or edit it out on your turn.
As for your question last night… look at the history of my first rolls. I lost a plane in France and would have lost a lot more hardware because of some bad rolls. I trust I’ll get Holland Belgium soon enough! As far as Vichy, there’s a trick to getting the British in there on first round anyways and, if you don’t know it, then it would be unfair for me to take advantage. It kind of coincides with the UK putting an air base into Gibraltor on turn one which seems to be all the rage ATM.
-
@LennardF Hmm, shouldn’t the sub have the option to counter?
-
I don’t think the sub could have submerged even if it wanted (and I didn’t want it).
“A player may choose to submerge all, some, or
none of his or her submarines. However, if the opposing
side has a destroyer in the battle, the attacking or
defending submarines can’t submerge or make a Surprise
Strike. Combat proceeds normally with your submarines
firing along with your other units in step 3 or 4.” -
Yes, I must have hit submerge because I didn’t see you get a roll. Feel free to remove the sub.
-
You can keep the sub. What’s the UK trick? Are you just talking about getting UK land unit or two into Southern France to stop Vichy? Seems like a bad idea as it wastes a transport and will just get killed by the Italians.

@akreider2 That is the trick and, yeah, it does waste a transport. You do get a whole bunch of infantry, a cruiser and a destroyer though…
-
Though you also get the cruiser and destroyer if the Axis doesn’t do Vichy. I think Vichy is the way to go, though it can mess you up on France if you get very bad dice. Of course I’m new so I’m still figuring it out.
