Not too happy with this turn. Although I saved a plane from Sz97 I didn’t need it, and didn’t sink the German BB, the Italian transport in Sz96 or take Yunnan - should have gotten at least one of these objectives. Oh well, your move. Say hi to Cath!

Indeed, that went very bad for you, but you were taking a lot of chances. But you are playing incredibly aggressive - suiciadal may be the proper term! Your build in UK(E) is really asking for sealion - in particular now that my BB is alive. And with your bad rolls, Italy says “Gracie” as well.

Talking of Italy…

Forza Italia!

Do you take the hit in sz93 on the DD or the Crs? I will make another round with both - if you hit with neither, the question becomes moot (for all practical purposes, unless you survive AND hit my BB, the question is moot anyway)

sz93: 1 sub, 1 DD, 1 BB vs 1 DD or 1 Crs

[tinydictator]

ok, for ease of game let’s just say you hit my BB, it doesn’t matter (which is of course why I sent it there in the first place! :) ).

[tinydictator]

Result:

All battles victorious, 1 loose 1 Inf in Gre and 1 Inf in ISo. For good measure I take a hit on the BB in sz93.

Non-combat move:

Ftr (Gre) and Bmb (Tun) land in SIta
2 Inf, 2 AA (NITa) -> Yugo
3 Inf, 2 AA (SIta) -> NIta

Build:
NIta: 1 Inf, 1 Trn (sz97)

For some strange reason, my post as been classified as sp*m and won’t show until a moderator sees it… In any event nothing special, just moved some ANZAC and French around. I’ll try to re-send the final map so you can get started on the German move.

GERMANY 2:

Build (70):

3 subs (18)
1 Inf (3)
7 Trn (49)

Combat move:

Bombing raid on UK: 1 Tac (Hol); 1 Tac, 3 Bmb (WGer)
sz101: 1 sub (sz101), 2 subs (sz106)

Scramble?

[Pakitho]

Looks like Sea Lion… Curious to see how it will turn out.

Don’t intercept the raid, scramble in Sz101.

[Pakitho]

On second thought, also intercept the raid (with the 2 UK figs).

[tinydictator]

well here you go:

UK bombing raid, dogfight: 2 Tac, 3 Bmb vs 2 Ftr

Rolls: 5@1; Total Hits: 05@1: (2, 6, 6, 4, 4)
Rolls: 2@1; Total Hits: 02@1: (5, 4)

sz101: 3 subs  vs 1 DD, 2 Ftr

Rolls: 3@2; Total Hits: 13@2: (6, 1, 5)
Rolls: 1@2 2@4; Total Hits: 21@2: (5)2@4: (3, 3)

[tinydictator]

Bombing raid:

2 tacs on the airfield:

AA:Rolls: 2@1; Total Hits: 02@1: (3, 6)

Rolling 2d6:
(3, 4)

3 bmb on the factory:

AARolls: 3@1; Total Hits: 03@1: (2, 2, 6)

Rolling 3d6:
(2, 4, 4)

[tinydictator]

and thats 6 damage on the airfield and 16 damage on the factory, plus one sub surviving in sz101!

(that is btw why the attack on the US in G1, while risky, can be quite worth it when successful: 48 points of damage done so far by the three subs!)

Non-combat move:

3 bmb (UK) land in WGer
2 Tac (UK land in Hol

BB (sz111) -> sz112
Crs (sz113) -> sz112
Trn (sz113) convoys 1 Art (Normandy) to WGer -> sz112
1 Tach (NIta); 1 Ftr (Hol); 1 Ftr (SIta); 2 Inf, 4 Art (Ger); 1 Tank, 1 Mech (Normandy); 1 Tank, 2 Mech (SFra); 1 Tank (Fra) -> WGer
3 Tanks (Fra) -> Ger
6 Inf (Fin) -> Nor
1 Inf (Yugo) boards Ital. Trn sz97

Lets try to adjust the income at the top left of the map as we finish our turns (I adjusted Germany and Italy).
