  • @martin I had a quick look at the battle calculator earlier and it was in your favour, but not by much, so guess the dice gods were going to have the final say

  • @flyingbadger yes… I saw a 54% chance in my favour and thought I have to take the risk. Maybe I should be a bit more risk avers when the outcome of a close battle decides on the survival of transporters and freight. In this case, it turned out to be too risky and expensive. Lesson learned

    Well, you can’t be too predictable. Sometimes the potential reward can be worth the risk. Eliminating the Italian fleet and giving yourself a free hand in the Mediterranean is very useful for the Allies.

    We can exchange our After Action Reports on conclusion and learn from each other!


  • @martin I’ll edit the armour to be unloaded from those transports, did you want them in Egypt?


  • @flyingbadger thank you, but do not edit. It is the rules. They were involved in the amphibious assault on Greece and retreated. Unlucky, but that’s the way it is.

    I suppose it is the old can’t load and unload in different phases rule. However, in this situation I think it is too harsh. I shall put them in Egypt. Monty will be pleased to have them :desert: :rat:


  • @flyingbadger that’s very kind, but you should leave them to their destiny. They were involved in combat and then retreated. They should not be able to make a non-combat movement on top…

    Well I’ve made the edit (took 2 goes at it :confused: ), I’ll leave it up to you whether you keep them or not. Whatever you choose is 100% okay with me.


  • @flyingbadger it is funny how we are always fighting for the right of the opponent :-) I will take these tanks away, as I guess you will kill the transports. I hope that battle will not decide the war… But thank you again!

  • @martin said in L21 FlyingBadger (Axis) - Martin (Allies + 30) OOB 2nd ed - low luck:

    @flyingbadger not this time. May the force be with the AAA!

    They hit one this time, maybe they have run out of vodka.


  • @Martin Oh dear, I made a right mess of that turn. I used the edit to ‘undo’ some non-combat moves that I had made in the combat phase. Hope that is okay? I also forgot to send any ground troops into Ukraine, fortunately I didn’t lose any planes. Also, forgot to account for the large US force stationed off Gibraltar so it was a shock when I realised they were there!! :fearful: I had got too used to the US not being involved in the war that it is terrifying when they start turning up with their square jaws and great teeth :grimacing: .
