Ethiopia holds with 1 Art.

SZ 97 remains, scramble possible.

1 DD, 1 CA, 1 CV, 3 Fig, 1 Tac vs 1 BB, 1 CA

[Lemming]

Roll AA for 2fig from UK…
Rolls: 2@1; Total Hits: 02@1: (6, 3)

[Lemming]

Scramble 2Fig 1Tac.

[Alsch91]

Just so you know, in this version of Axis and Allies, you don’t roll AA guns for just flying over them.  So the 2 fighters from UK had no AA fire on them.

SZ 97

Attack (1 CV, 1 DD, 1 CA, 3 Fig, 1 Tac)
Rolls: 1@2 4@3 1@4; Total Hits: 21@2: (4)4@3: (1, 5, 4, 6)1@4: (2)

[Alsch91]

I should have rolled and then asked you for order of loss, but that’s my fault, sorry.

Attack loses 1 CV, 1 DD, 1 CA, 1 Fig.
Defense loses - I assume - damage to BB, and lose CA.
Correct me if you would prefer a different loss order.

Ug damn dice.

R2

Please give me better rolls, dear dicey.  :lol:

Attack (2 Fig, 1 Tac)
Rolls: 2@3 1@4; Total Hits: 12@3: (3, 4)1@4: (5)

This time I’ll do it correctly, and ask you for OoL beforehand.

[Lemming]

Ok w the prev Ool. Will take another tac out this turn.
Sorry about the AA my fault for forgetting the rule.
Why do I have to state ool before you roll for defender? since losses taken together?

[Alsch91]

OoL works like that because the defender has to choose his losses before he actually rolls, so that he does not choose losses in response to how well his defense is going.

We never do that during land battles, because the OoL is pretty standard - infantry, artillery, tanks, planes.  That pretty much never changes.

But during large Sea battles, with carriers/planes/surface ships, the OoL is not standard at all.  The defender is given the disadvantage of choosing losses before he rolls.

Defender (1 damaged BB, 2 Fig, 1 Tac)
Rolls: 1@3 3@4; Total Hits: 11@3: (6)3@4: (5, 5, 1)

[Alsch91]

Phew.  Attack loses another Fighter.

R3
Attack (1 Fig, 1 Tac)
Rolls: 1@3 1@4; Total Hits: 01@3: (5)1@4: (5)

At this point I can assume fighter losses before Battleship loss.
If that’s wrong, feel free to correct me.

[Alsch91]

……
Naturally.

Defender (1 BB*, 2 Fig)
Rolls: 3@4; Total Hits: 23@4: (4, 5, 4)

[Alsch91]

Well this was the most one-sided SZ 97 attack I’ve ever seen.

Ug.  Stupid dice.

SZ 97 holds, with 1 damaged BB, 2 TT, 1 Italian Fig, and 1 German Fig.

[Lemming]

Well taranto is always a huge risk, I usually won’t take it w 3 planes able to scramble, especially w sea lion a possibility.

[Lemming]

Hello?

[Alsch91]

Yeah, sorry about the lack of activity lately.  I’m out of town and I’ve got limited access to a computer, and none to aBattlemap.  A couple of days and I’ll be back.

[Alsch91]

Alrighty.

Sorry about that delay.
