During my US turn non-com, my fighter in the Phillipines couldn’t reach Wake Is. legally.  I’m correcting it to land at Guam instead.  Sorry  :oops:

need scrambling orders SZ95

Also, what order do you wish to take casualties in (keep in mind fighters if you decide to scramble)?

[kilroynothere]

Wow, that was quick. I’m around, but at work. Give me a couple of minutes and I’ll respond here. Oh, and sorry for the file. That was goofy…

[wheatbeer]

No worries and no rush.

I happen to have a lot of free time today and I’ll admit, I was eager to test my UK plan  :-)

[kilroynothere]

I like the UK plan so far. I imagine you are going to bail the CV out to India if the fight goes poorly (or maybe just take the wfr ftr as a first casualty) so you can move the carrier in that direction. Maybe wrong, but seems like a fun move to me.

I will scramble the German and the Italian fighter.

[kilroynothere]

Oh,and I am here and available for the next hour or so.

[wheatbeer]

those were some ridiculous dice … given that you got no hits and that was pretty unlikely, I’d grant a reroll if you want

[kilroynothere]

Haha… I was writing this then noticed your post…

_Holy crap those are awful rolls. One thing I typically do in f2f games is each country has a one battle “do-over” per game just to clean up crazy bad dice rolls.  A little advantage to the allies (more countries), but it does really smooth over wild dice and better than a low luck game which I do not like. Luck is part of the equation.

Regardless, I did not say anything prior.  So….

lose the navy I guess.  damn, that really hurts._

If you want to do the “do-over” house rule, we typically roll out the entire battle, just in case, then decide.

[wheatbeer]

I think a do-over per country is fair, so long as it’s really wretched like this, lol.

So I’ll finish this one up, then you’ll decide.  I assume you want the fighters alive for hitting power?

A little less heinous after round 2, but still, better than I anticipated for UK.  Up to you.

[wheatbeer]

If it makes any difference, I would take the 2 hits on 1 dest, 1 tact.

[kilroynothere]

Agreed, but still waaaaay under odds. That’s why we like to finish the battle before pulling the trigger. We’ve actually seen a first round like the one we had and then the second/third rounds go the other way to actually even things out. Dice are crazy!

Let’s have the do-over.

thanks for being cool with this. Would have done the same for you. I like to win by strategy (skewed with just a bit of luck) rather than all luck.  No fun that way.

[wheatbeer]

No problem … I think this would spoil the game with England having an armada alive and half of Italy sunk anyways.
