USA bomber targets Wgr airbase
Rolls: 1@6; Total Hits: 11@6: (4)

[JamesAleman]

Wgr airbase receives 4+2 damage=6 which is the max an airbase can sustain; Airbase disabled-Germany will not be able to scramble air units from Wgr on UK’s turn.

I forgot to roll my attacks by USA air, 2ftrs and 1 bomber attacked at 1 prior to the fighter going down.

Disaster - No need to wait, since I only hit 3 times you would damage 3 carriers…

Spa: Italy lost mech; UK no loss
Sfr: Italy lost mech; UK no loss

Well, since that is the game, I’ll keep going, hoping for a reversal of fortune I still have a 38 percent chance for Berlin
I remove 1 carrier, damage cv and bb

Rolls: 1@2 7@3 3@4; Total Hits: 21@2: (3)7@3: (1, 1, 5, 6, 6, 6, 5)3@4: (6, 6, 6)

[JamesAleman]

That says it right there, (6,6,6) for my 4’s: 6 fours have hit once, 14 threes have hit 4 times. I only went a second time because your 2’s missed. My only hope now is if you also miss

I’ll just roll your units, I don’t care if you see the outcome now, unless you miss the battle will end.
Rolls: 2@1 5@2 2@3 4@4; Total Hits: 62@1: (3, 6)5@2: (3, 5, 4, 2, 3)2@3: (2, 5)4@4: (3, 2, 2, 1)

Declare your 2 hits, looks like Berlin is safe unless you miss, I’ll Likely retreat and hope I don’t lose two navies now.

[JamesAleman]

Well, if I wasn’t doing so well in the Pacific, I’d call it. This is why I don’t do fleet battles…Good bait, I fell for it-risking a Capital gave you an edge in Europe now. USA will have to send aid there soon or this game will be over in 3 turns.

3 of my fighters from Gib have to die, as they used all 5 to get there. Lose dd,cv,tac- You need to take 2 hits still

Well, you still have 9 planes for a counter attack….goodbye navy.

Noncombat Moves:
To z112: Damaged bb,Damaged Cv, trn (loaded with Berlin Commandos-Inf), ftr,tac (land on USA cv)-z113
To z110: cv,4subs-z91,2 trn (loaded with 4inf-Gib); 2ftr-z113
To z109: 1 trn-z110 damage control if that fleet sinks in z110
Well, moving in mass to Hol will not work with 9 air units, but I’m committed so:
To Hol: 4inf-Gib; 2inf,art,aagun-UK via 2 trn-z110; 3art,7inf,2aagun-Wfr
To Spa: aagun-Gib
To Wind: inf-Epr

Collection:

Convoy=1sub, max damage=3
Rolls: 1@3; Total Hits: 11@3: (3)
India: 15 (13+2saved)

I’ll go ahead and post Anzac and France too, since they won’t be affected by Italy.
I moved out of Gib figuring I could get back, that may not be, now.

Kick a man when he’s down: UK collects 32 since sub did max damage.

France:
No moves, will scramble to z110

Placement:

This is the only reason I continue this game, I wanted to test a concept: USA builds fleet, Anzac builds land. Now Anzac can field 19 land units by sea to support allied invasions defensively or storm beaches on there own using US carriers to land their air force. We’ll see if its enough, or too late.

[JamesAleman]

Also, you need to land the 6 air units in z113, prior to Germany’s turn since I assumed the 3 damage from round 1 would go to carriers.

[JamesAleman]

Better map, removed Japanese control marker on Sfe

[Auswanderersland]

I swear JJ…you simply cannot roll well…evar.

[JamesAleman]

That is why I have to rely on strategy, luck is unreliable.

[Nothing to see here]

well that’S the problem with close to fity percent battles, which this one was. they can go horribly wrong or horribly right.
I’ll lose 2Sub.
