G40 A2 game: Lemming vs Alsch91

[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.

Phew.  Attack loses another Fighter.

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

Naturally.

[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.

Man… I’d be just fine with Sealion if the dice hadn’t smacked me around so bad there…
Now both Germany and Italy are both going to have a field day.
