Sure, take your time with it. I’m out on vacation, so probably can’t make a move for another 10 days or so anyways.

@gamerman01 one inf on each transport. There should be one in 36 that also has an art.

Interesting back and fourth regading dice. Japan continues hemorrhaging ground units, but an airstrike with a positive TUV exchange against 11 men, especially when you have to expect to go into a second round, is a big relief for Japan.
Quite some battles for such an early game. Excited to see how this one unfolds from here.
-
@JDOW I thought I had to do it because if I didn’t he would otherwise have been able to stack Yunnan on round 2. I probably just needed the one round though as I just needed to do enough to prevent him from taking Yunnan with China. But yeah, that was a battle that went better than it could have.

-
@farmboy need scramble orders for 109 and will likely need casualty choice for normandy
-
@farmboy also very annoyed that i put that sub in 108 and not 118. For some reason I thought it was more than 3 spaces away from the French.
-
It was a hard decision. I had a different good option, didn’t want it to go to 110 and disrupt the NO yet again
-
No way on the scramble
I don’t want to give this OOL in advance. I’ll be away from my computer for an hour or 2
-
@gamerman01 2 first round hits. My thinking that that is good enough to assume max d going forward and that you won’t want to conserve the AA.
-
@farmboy but I’ll wait. I’m off too.
-
Incorrect. If you kill everything but the AA, your units get sucked in to Normandy, and depending on the dice I might have just wanted that.
With 2 hits, take AA and French infantry.
Next would be French arty
-
Oh, I suppose you meant with 2 hits, that’s your thinking. Still, be careful to assume, I take unconventional casualties and do unconventional scrambles from time to time
-
@gamerman01 In this case because you don’t have a counter (unless you use allied air) I figured you wouldn’t want to draw me in. My goal was to take it. But my odds were around 94% so there was a possibility that you would win. And I thought you might be interested in conserving the AA if I was doing poorly.

Not a big deal here, just trying to avert future misunderstandings.
If you did poorly, and finally hit everything but 1 unit, I might have saved the AA and drew in remaining units
The mech would be farther from Russia, and the slow would be 2 spaces from West Germany and North Italy, and that could be a factor too. I generally don’t like giving advance OOL’s, especially when my opponent won’t have to wait long. Sometimes anticipating all the possible OOL’s in advance make my brain hurt and I shouldn’t have to do them - advance OOL’s are a courtesy to the playing player and don’t benefit the defender
-
Woohoo, I got 2 out of 5 hits AND your units are drawn in? Victory!! :joy:
