Vance(axis) vs TheOne(allies) g1940a3 new setup no tech

[Guest]

Yayy Italy!  Scramble would have helped if the airbase were working, but repairing it would cost you 1 ground unit and risk losing planes.  Hard to say what is the best thing to do.  Now the sea lion looks like a “best case” for Germany - I got lucky in z111 and only lost 1 bomber in round 1.  Also I don’t have to use any fighters as fleet cover because there wont be a sea battle without the scramble.  If there were going to be a naval battle, having lost the battleship earlier would hurt now.  I would probably put 2 fighters in z110 and have 2 fighters and 6 tac/bombers for the land battle, then lose 1 or 2 to AA, putting it pretty much right on the mark of 7-9 planes for a normal sea lion.

dohh!

[TheOne]

And why would you take the fighter out in the second round ???  the AC should have died and the fighter fight on giving me 3@3 not 1@2 2@3.

[TheOne]

First round you hit 4 times, 2 hits on AC, 1 hit to battleship, hit to cruiser leaving me with a roll of 3@4 on the second roll not 1@2 2@4!!

SZ110 2
dRolls: 3@4 ; Total Hits: 23@4: (3, 2, 6)

[TheOne]

so round 2 i hit 2 time not just one. you hit 2 times. Hit to battleship, lose french fighter, UK fighter lands in London!!!

[TheOne]

you would actually still have a bomber vs. figher in SZ110 for a round 3 roll.  Are you going to keep rolling or are you going to retreat the bomber?

[Guest]

I did that OOL becasue some people would rather try and save the carrier because it can be repaired and costs more than a fighter.

In any case, the carrier/fighter rolled a 6.  The dice I rolled were 4, 5, and 6.  Whether it was a carrier @2 or a fighter @4, it did not hit.

[TheOne]

It is different because it would be three dice rolled at once not 1 die and two dice rolled seperately.  The odds do change in that event.

[Guest]

LOL no.

but what the hell I will give it to you. Here we go. 1 bomber versus 1 fighter

doesnt really seem as if the changes and extra units are helping much…  I could have had 5-7 more units possibly in London. It still would have fell  :-o !!!

[TheOne]

I am going to go back to the start and buy nothing but infantry as the UK, add the extra inf, armor, fighter, tac from the med, as well as the 2 fighters lost in the SZ110 battle and re-roll to see the outcome.

With the first two rounds of bombing and raiding, UK just doesnt have enough funds to hold off an attack of that size imo… I could have had 5-7 more @2s, 2 more @3s, and 3 more @4s

[Guest]

If you go all out defensive, UK is impossible to take with Germany.  Have a look at the map from another game I am playing with jeff28 at the end of round 2.  He decided to call off his sea lion and go for Novgorod instead, but to defend London that strongly I had to forget  Africa so Italy took Egypt.  I was also lucky that Japan was not threatening Hawaii so USA could spend Atlantic.
