scrambles/intercepts. Three zones to consider.
Also, order of losses please.
OOL is difficult to decide before dice.
I’ll scramble 3 figs to z113, covering the fleet.

Well, need to be lucky all the way. Should’ve saved a des.
I wanted the 2 fig, 1 tac to land in Berlin.

Sorry, 1 fig, 2 tac.

@trulpen oops, forgot you had that option. I am going to need to reconsider my combat.

Sure thing.

I will reload and take the dice results for the battles that are already completed in W Europe. It will be a few edits.
-
hmmm, can I not just ignore the German subs for the amphibious landing if those are the only units left? It has been a long time since I remember these rules.

I think I messed up…

The tr can’t unload if there are unchecked subs. Need a war-ship along and then they can be ignored.

well, there goes that plan. Guess it is game over.

That’s sad, but I see what you mean. G will likely reclaim Paris and gain a secure hold on the western front, while still having a smashing position in the east.

hmmm… any chance that I could redo that battle, bringing in the destroyer to take on the subs. Or should I just call it a game and post?

It’s silly to lose because of a messup of the rules.
However, dice have been rolled. We can try and adjust for it, if you want. The problem with the des is of course that the 4 hits in the first battle-round will be allocated on the subs, which means the following battle-round will be a bit hellish to adjust for.
Did you save the outcome of that battle? I’m not certain I can deduct the correct dispersion of dice from the mail only.
-
the only thing that I can really do is to restart after the first round of dice rolling. You would have 3 subs, 1 cruiser, a tipped carrier, a tipped battleship, and 2 fighters. I would have 2 cruisers, 2 fighters, a bomber, and 1 destroyer left. I would still need to roll for that 1 destroyer. Odds of my victory are are 10%.
Let me know if I should continue to roll on the forum.
