Tinydictator: First Blood (Axis)

[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!)

We’re just in turn 2… Mutal annihilation suits me fine, as long as the USA is pumping from round 1…

USA 2

I’ll separate the first strike subs.

Well, I think it’s pretty obvious it’s the sub (could have hit a little bit more…)

oh my… I suppose it’s the cruiser.

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

[tinydictator]

hm. actually I take a fighter (sub in round 1 and fighter in round 2)

NB that I shot down your bomber in round two, the fighters can’t hit the subs.

[Pakitho]

You’re right. I’ll re-roll the sub instead of the bomber, if it hits it’ll stay the same (the cruiser didn’t hit anyway), if not the cruiser lives:

Rolls: 1@2; Total Hits: 01@2: (6)

[Pakitho]

Three full rounds of subs and not a single hit… (sigh)

NCM:

UK: 1 fig (Ice)
W.US: 1 bom (lands Sz26)

Convoy raid E.US:

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

[Pakitho]

And this bastard hits every time!

Build:

W.US: 2 dd, 2 tac, 2 acs

I forgot to move the figs in E.US, of course they’re supposed to go to the carriers.

[tinydictator]

your bomber is dead.

in combat round 2, you have one kill with the bomber (I take the fighter). I have two kills, one kill with the battleship and one with a fighter (supposing that the BB was either first or last in line - actually we should as a rule have first ships and then airplanes in those rolls, exactly for these situations). The hit from the BB goes on a sub. The hit from the Ftr cannot go on the sub (I don’t have a DD present), so it can only go to the bomber.

No need to reroll anything, but you have to decide whether your sub dives or presses on, in which case the battle continues without my remaining fighter. My next loss would obviously be the cruiser, if you press on.

[tinydictator]

also, there is a convoy raid on Hawai (only 1 IPC but still) and you don’t collect the Phillipines bonus anymore. So its 50 + 20 - 4 (or 5, if Hawaii hits) = 66(65), plus the one you saved.

[tinydictator]

of course your sub can also retreat
