souL did you notice that I changed my move?

[LuckyLindy]

I moved rather quickly but then realized that I could sink the transports in Z12.  What happened was I did not actually notice that you had sunk the transports in Z65 until I was looking at the map later  :-o

When I realized that you had sunk the Z65 transports, I then saw that I could also sink the transports in Z12 by giving up an ac and a US fighter.  Again, as you might say, this only delays the inevitable.

It may not even delay it but a turn or two… I actually was planning on invading america, but once that became more difficult I turned my attention to the war of attrition in Britain, and I won’t need more than the 13 transports that survive, likely.

I know, I agree with you.  It is still fun to play it out…  You will definitely get the win, there is little doubt of that.

Whoah, hold on a second.  I may not want the American fleet going to Z50.

Sorry, I need to slow down my moves a little bit.  I move quickly because I think the game is nearly over, but I want to give you my best effort.  So let me look a little longer at this noncombat and I will let you know when you are ok to move.

souL, there is still a British ac and US fighter in Z7.  Did you forget they were there?  I think the rules say that you can not load transports in a sea zone that has an enemy ship, so you can not pick up Germans in Z7 for the attack of GBR.  Also, since the sea zone has an enemy ship, you can not fire support shots from Z7.  You could pick up 18 troops from ALG and attack from Z8.  If you want to do so, you can use the same bombardment hits since it would not change your attack power.

I could be wrong but that is my understanding.

Cheers

[souL]

You are right, I cannot load units in that sz this turn, but I can move everything from the sz (to 12), load there, and go back to 8 and support there.  the only difference is that I’ll not be able to load the inf art from fra, and that I’ll be back in 8.

so I’d have moved 12 inf 6 art from alg -> gbr.

I rolled 1 “2”. It was the 9th die… if any of these come up 9, I got 1 less hit.  If they come up doubles, I’ll re-roll.

Rolling 6d18:
(4, 4, 5, 10, 12, 17)

Then the Japanese will to go sz 7 and sink that.
