Tinydictator: First Blood (Axis)

[Pakitho]

You really wanted to get that US fighter in the Phi… Could have costed you more  :wink:

No need to spell out the casualties in every round, I can see who dies by looking at the next round, it’s only good for the last round (and double-checking the map).

Europe side a bite dicey, lets see if the dice roller still hates you (what a difference  :-) )

Ponder if you want to SCRAMBLE Sz97, I’ll leave that combat for last.

[Pakitho]

OK, scramble Sz97?

[tinydictator]

uh, you don’t have a fighter in sz98 to attack with… (the AC has only one Tac loaded).

but in any event: have you gone totally mad?!? why don’t you play the uk turn again and we count this as my first victory…

[tinydictator]

and if you actually want edto do the attack in sz98 with the 1 ftr, 1 tac, 1 DD, 1 crs and 1 AC you have: Yes I scramble all three Ftrs. (NB that there is a German Ftr as well in SIta).

First hit goes on the BB, second on the Crs, then on the fighters (Italians first), last on the BB.

[tinydictator]

and you forgot convoy raiding damage for the US:

1 sub in sz101:Rolls: 2@3; Total Hits: 22@3: (2, 3)

lots of stuff in sz35:Rolls: 9@3; Total Hits: 49@3: (3, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 3, 5, 6)

[tinydictator]

that makes 7 convoy damage - US income is 71.  :evil:

PS Cath says hi.

[Pakitho]

Yes, I was going to add that convoy raid, turned out to be something  :-( By the way, I’ll move the US destroyer to Sz25 instead od Sz26.

You’re right about the fig, it was a typo, but I’ll still go for Sz97 (you have the edge in numbers but I have more soakers and, in any event, I just want to make a dent):
