L20 #2 Amon-Sul (X) vs trulpen (A+7) BM3

[trulpen]

Now we have three maps to choose from. I thought of hitting your lonely tr by Midway, but reconsidered now. It’s a big sacrifice for a tr. Go with the first map. Sub in sz1. 5 ac in sz11.

Actually, with only 1 des in the region I think I’ll go with that sneaky sub move. Load the last game post, please! :)

but what is ur gain there, convoy blockade ?

[Amon-Sul]

There are actually several ideas combined. The first is of course to disrupt convoys if possible. The second is that any ship that attacks the sub will be stuck in the sea zone. The third is that if the sub is attacked, then a bs can’t pick up the marine from sz1 The last one is not much to brag about since sz2 is available, but might still make a slight difference atleast.

Yes, that’s right.

Oh, a fourth idea is that there’s only one des around, so Japan can only hit one of the subs anyway. Might as well use this second one for something interesting.

but ur sub in sz 1 cant prevent me from loading my transport even if i attack the sub. it can only prevent me for doing a ncm with my transport, sorry, batleship

i can load by bat with a marine , move or not move and attack with it, while other units destroy ur sub. ur sub cant prevent any load/unload in my cm, just in ncm

It’s not fully the case. If you load the marine during CM, you must do an amphibious assault with the marine as well. It’s possible of course in British Columbia. If the marine was pre-loaded, it would be the case you described.

[trulpen]

But perhaps that’s what you meant?

i can attack WUS too

[trulpen]

WUS is certainly possible as a target.

[Amon-Sul]

1. u cant stop my CM in any case
2. u cant stop even my NCM if I choose to ignore the sub

[trulpen]

Just rather crazy. ;)

[Amon-Sul]

ok its important we have everything solved

i ll proceed with the first map

That’s a bit of the point. If you want to attack the sub, it limits your options. If you ignore it, the first point of convoy disruption comes true.

[Amon-Sul]

In the first map u dont have a sub in sz 1. Shall i use the 2nd map then?

Yes, that must be it. Like you said: Confusing.

[Amon-Sul]

please post just one map from on, type here edits if U have, and I ll change it when U re done once and for all.
