Nothing to see here (Axis) vs. James Aleman (Allies) g40 alpha3

[JamesAleman]

So, as a result of dice, I failed to get Aleutians and Sfr and Sib, add that to the loses in Ura and USSR won’t hold as long.

Also, I had to commit more than desired to seize Japan

Oh well.

[JamesAleman]

I mistyped the first battle description…I chose to send all air to the sea zone…Japan was hit by only land units…5 inf, 3artillery

You can transport them. The rule explicitly states that you are allowed to transport if it’s the Seazone you started in. On the other hand you totally forgot about those Antiairhits, which kind of defeated the purpose of me byuing so many of the things.

And by the way did you think you’d have kept Washington with what you build there?

[JamesAleman]

Yes, I sent 17 ftrs into Japan and only rolled for 14 since I lost 3.

Well, I thought I had 12 air units in Mexico…oh well. I’d have to land the UK ftrs on the fleet, if you take the navy out, you’d get Washington. That was an oversite. The only thing I could have done different was build an airbase in CUS and land 3 ftrs from Mid. Without them, I’d only have 2 dd, 7 cv, bb, 6ftr, 2 tac vs 2 subs, 3 dd, 4 cv, 7 ftr, 4 tac. The other 3 dd would be used to block the Italian navy from taking Scotland and Panama.

Here is what could have happened in that scenario.
Rolls: 5@2 7@3 4@4; Total Hits: 65@2: (2, 5, 6, 6, 4)7@3: (5, 3, 5, 5, 5, 3, 6)4@4: (1, 4, 3, 6)
Rolls: 9@2 2@3 7@4; Total Hits: 129@2: (2, 6, 1, 1, 1, 3, 4, 4, 3)2@3: (1, 2)7@4: (1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 6, 3)

[JamesAleman]

Looks like I gave you 7 fighters instead of 6(I thought there were 3 in Gib not 2), does matter cause it was lopsided in my favor anyway.

Lets do it by averages: You hit 7 I hit 7. If you take off carriers and I damage carriers, nothing changes in terms of hits, so 7 and 7 again yields:

You: 4 tac, 5 ftrs
Me: 3 damaged cv, damaged bb, 2tac, 6 ftr

Round 3: you get 5 or 6, say 6 hits, I get 6 or 7 we’ll say 6

You: 2 tac, 1 ftr or 1 tac 2 ftr-same rolls
Me: 5 ftr, damaged bb

Round 4: you get 1-2 hits say 2; I’ll get 4 hits battle ends with the UK having 2 ftr, US having a ftr and a damaged bb. Basically you’d need to hit 4 more times to continue with the amphibious assault.

I would be out of position if you landed in Canada, but by then the 7 air in Mid would be able to help attack/defend as they land in Wus this turn. EUS would have more land units and air units than Germany.

Anyway, you already won. So its all moot at this point.

[Auswanderersland]

Awesome game.  Thanks to both of you.  Crappy rolls played a part, but it could have turned easily enough the other way.  Such is life.

Start a new one already!

[Nothing to see here]

Sorry for the long wait. I was otherwise occupied do you still want a rematch with me as axis. If yes I wanted to ask if you would be okay with the Setup of alpha+3 except for all those additional AAGuns with the rules from Alpha+2. If not I’ll go with Alpha+2.

[JamesAleman]

sure, we can try the a3 setup.

[Auswanderersland]

NSTH,

could you post a blank board prior to the combat moves so I can save it to file?

Thanks

Aus

I’ll need scrambling orders for Z110 and 115. I can’t do Bal before i win Z115 so that’ll have to wait too.
I’ll do the rest of the battles to see how bad the dice punish me for cutting it close here and there.

I forgot to mention Fin if you thin it should be a combat move since it’s technically a Noncombat Move.
So 3Inf from Nor to Fin.
