  • Axisplaya,

    I think we had a problem come up about when the US delclares war and convoy raiding.  The US declares war at the start of Collect income phase on US 3.  Then, convoy raiding happens.  I have never before had Axis ships in US waters at this time, but I raided you for 3 ipc (two ipc in z10 and one ipc in z 26).  If you would have only done a DOW on Germany and Italy, then you could’ve avoided the convoy raiding.  I’m ok if you want to change your DOW to reflect that so you can keep the 3 ipc.  If not, then I think the convoy raids would have happened.

    No big deal either way.

    @gsh34:

    Axisplaya,

    I think we had a problem come up about when the US delclares war and convoy raiding.  The US declares war at the start of Collect income phase on US 3.  Then, convoy raiding happens.  I have never before had Axis ships in US waters at this time, but I raided you for 3 ipc (two ipc in z10 and one ipc in z 26).  If you would have only done a DOW on Germany and Italy, then you could’ve avoided the convoy raiding.  I’m ok if you want to change your DOW to reflect that so you can keep the 3 ipc.  If not, then I think the convoy raids would have happened.

    No big deal either way.

    Well, to be honest, i would say that i just didn’t think of it at all when i played….So just remove 3 IPC from US income on the IPC chart.

    But you’re completely right, that was a stupid mistake from my part to DOW Japan. It costed me 3 IPC.


  • NCM for Italy, round 3

    2 DD z97 > z96
    1 tank Gre > Yugo
    2 inf, 2 art Nita > Yugo
    4 inf Alg > Mor
    1 tank Tob > Alx
    1 fig, 1 tac z114 > Ger

    Just a note:  my Italian transport still has the German infantry on it.

    Placement:
    1 CV, 1 DD z97
    1 art Nita

    Dang!  I just realized that with your Russian bomber you can hit Germany with a Strategic bombing raid.  I guess I should have lost the Italian tactical bomber and kept the fighter so I had two interceptors to defend with.  Oh well…

    Collect income:
    19 territories + 15 NOs = 34 ipc

    Since France moves are done, you can go with Germany 4 (we’ll see some action i guess  :-) )


  • Sorry for the delay.  I knew that France had gone.  I just couldn’t fit the German turn in before I had to go to bed last night.  I should have given you the courtesy of that information.  Sorry about that.

    Germany, round 4 (55ipc)

    Conclusion of Operation Sealion (the only thing I think I can relish as having gone well….although I probably shouldn’t be saying before rolling dice!)

    Purchase:
    1 fig, 15 infantry

    Combat:
    2 SS, 1 tac, 1 DD z111 > z125 (3 move remain for tac)
    10 inf, 3 art, 8 tank Sco > UK
    1 inf Sco > Eire
    6 TT z 111 > z112 (load 12 inf from Wgr) > z110 (offload infantry into UK)
    1 sbr, 1 tac Alg > Gib (strategic bombing raid on the Naval Base)
    2 tac Alg > Gib (strategic bombing raid on Air Base)

    Well, I think that is everything…


  • Per rules, strategic bombing raids come first, then amphibious assaults, then everything else.  One thing that I am uncertain about is when I have my sbr and tac bombing the same facility, do I roll separate AA gun fire so that the strategic bomber has a better chance of getting hit?  This I don’t know.  So, I will say that the first dice is for my sbr.  Then I will ask this question in the faq thread.  If I can choose, we can go back and amend my casualty and the damage to the facility if needed (simply add +2 to what ever the tac would roll in this case)

    SBR of Gib Naval base: 1 strategic bomber, 1 tactical bomber

    Defending AA gun fire:
    DiceRolls: 2@1; Total Hits: 02@1: (2, 2)

    SBR of Gib Air Base:  2 tactical bombers

    Defending AA gun fire:
    DiceRolls: 2@1; Total Hits: 02@1: (4, 5)


  • OK, no AA hits.

    I am not sure how to roll for SBRs since they don’t “hit” on a specific number so I will simply roll two dice for each.  For the Naval Base, my first die roll will represent my strategic bomber and have +2 added to it.

    SBR of Gib Naval Base:
    DiceRolls: 2@6; Total Hits: 22@6: (6, 5)

    SBR of Gib Air Base:
    DiceRolls: 2@6; Total Hits: 22@6: (2, 2)


  • Gibraltar Naval Base:
    Max damage of 6 taken

    Gibraltar Air Base:
    4 damage taken

    I will mark this on the map, but if you have a chance, please double check it to make sure I depicted it correctly.  This is my first time marking SBR damage and I don’t know if I will be doing it correctly.


  • Ok, on to the amphibious assault…

    Battle for UK:

    attacker: 22 inf, 3 art, 8 tank
    DiceRolls: 19@1 6@2 8@3; Total Hits: 1219@1: (5, 3, 3, 6, 4, 1, 1, 5, 5, 1, 4, 2, 4, 3, 4, 1, 1, 3, 5)6@2: (6, 4, 1, 3, 1, 6)8@3: (1, 4, 5, 2, 1, 3, 1, 4)

    defender: 21 inf, 1 art, 1 tank
    DiceRolls: 22@2 1@3; Total Hits: 422@2: (5, 1, 1, 6, 1, 5, 5, 2, 3, 6, 6, 6, 3, 6, 6, 6, 5, 6, 3, 6, 3, 4)1@3: (6)


  • Way below average for your rolling and above average for mine.  I better watch out in some other big battle for the dice to even out….

    Collect Income:
    49 territories + 10 NOs (Norway/Denmark/Sweden + London) + 29 UK Europe money = 88 ipc

    Just a reminder for you (and an explanation for why I did it), with London captured, you are unable to repair the naval or air base in Gibraltar and they will remain incapacitated.
