A bummer to sacrifice some units to prevent USA from owning Korea only to have them fail. At least I should get India on schedule but I think this is a major setback.
@simon33
I was quite pleased how that panned out. And yes… you are getting india on YOUR schedule…:grin:
@mainah
Hope my cheekyness came accross. Your definately getting India ahead of my schedule.
Scramble orders for SZ97?
@mainah said in Mainah (Allies+18) vs Simon33 (Axis) BM4:
Hope my cheekyness came accross. Your definately getting India ahead of my schedule.
Was actually wondering if you thought a J3 take down of India was more preferable. I think it is possible but may not be worthwhile. If you go mostly overland, J5 is the correct turn. I get upset if I can’t do this.
You’re getting Libya as well? Good thing I didn’t take Tunisia, which I thought about I3.
Now back to the question at hand, I’m going to say no scramble. I expect you will get everything round 1 but if not, preserve the DD until last.

The UK CV has to move to SZ97 to catch the fighter. You can’t intentionally splash it.
I suggest loading the AfterBritishNonCombatMove autosave.
Eur rules, p22:
“• You must have a carrier move, remain in place, or
be mobilized (new carriers only) to pick up a fighter
or tactical bomber that would end its noncombat
movement in a sea zone. You can’t deliberately move
an air unit out of range of a potential safe landing
space.”
@simon33
My understanding of the rules was that you have to be able to provide a landing zone during CM, but you do not have to use it.
Bummer. I re-read the book, and you are correct sir. And in either case, your GD italians were supposed to be better shots.
Bear with me - new NCM to be posted.

I couldn’t find an autosave, so I edited. Please double check but should be good.
The average casualties on the battle calc for the allies was 3.5. First time all game I was actually mad for getting considerably better than average
