Tinydictator: First Blood (Axis)


  • Hit on the dd.

    That sub is a hero, has given me nothing but trouble and, true to form, went down fighting… I take my hat off as he sinks into the cold depths.

    NCM:

    S.Me: 1 inf, 1 art (C.US)
    W.US: 1 fig (land from Sz10)
    Sz89: 1 tra (Sz10)
    Sz25: 1 dd (Sz10)
    Sz10: 1 sub (Sz12)

    Build:

    W.US: 2 subs, 1 dd (Sz10), 2 figs
    E.US: 3 tra

    No need to roll for convoy raiding of Hawaii, I’ll take the 1 IPC off.

    Collects:

    49+20 (69)


  • Place inf in E.US too, and add the two to the income that I saved (71).

  • well I can’t re-roll everytime I have bad luck, can’t I?

    Concerning the sub - it was a true hero indeed (one iron cross with oak leafs coming up), but are you sure that sz64 connects to sz11? I always thought it didn’t. If you put the maps together, it is sz28 that connects to sz64.

    Concerning your transport, I’m pretty sure that you did place it - it is exactly the transport that is in sz10 right now. Your other two transports got both destroyed when I attacked sz26 in J1 and J2 (as one Pearl Harbour wasn’t enough for you  :wink: ).


  • although I do feel slightly insulted by the fact that the Chinese infantery that defeated 2 Inf and 1 Ftr now goes and singlehandedly kills the Inf that I “wisely” withdrew.

    btw they are the nationalist chinese, no commies there (yet)!


  • You’re right about the transport - I’ll move it with the ac then, no tra in Sz10.

    SZ64 does connect, I don’t have the Europe rules with me but it says so in here, for example:

    UK 3

    Buy (12 UK Pacific):

    1 AA (5)

    Combat:

    Irq: 1 inf (Ind, via tra Sz39), 1 fig, 1 tac (India); 1 cc (Sz76); 1 bb (Sz39)
    Eth: 1 tan (blitzes on the way to Eth)
    Sz56: 1 fig (W.Au), 1 dd

    This is a bit risky, but the Italians can’t have that infantry join their middle east advance…

  • Another post flagged as sp*m! I think it was because I put the link to a page - from this site! - which says that Sz64 connects…

    I’ll try to copy paste it in parts. First the combat move:

    UK 3

    Buy (12 UK Pacific):

    Sz56: 1 fig (W.Au), 1 dd


  • I rolled the dice and this is what came out… Quite surprising!

  • Man… In short, all of my shots hit, but two of theirs also hit… inf and tac killed.

    Corrected the transport by the way, you’re right (tra then moves with the ac to Sz89, no tra in Sz10)

  • arrivederci and au revoir, my french fellows. you were persistent enough. (there’s no shame in surrendering - all your friends did it already :evil:)

    Sorry that this took so long. I had a rule question and was searching the forum for an answer, but couldn’t find it. I posted the question in the forum now. The question is whether your AC counts as a “surface warship” in suppressing a sub in sz91 when it comes to the question whether your transports can initiate an amphibious assault or not. Given that the AC has an attack value of zero, I find it not evident that it does so. If the AC suppresses my sub, it goes to sz92. Otherwise, sz91 is the lucky winner and you would be pretty screwed  :evil:

    Non-combat move:

    Bmb (Alg) lands in SIta
    1 sub (sz88) -> sz91/sz92 (depending on answer to rule question)
    1 DD, 1 BB (sz98) -> sz92
    1 Inf, 2 AA (NIta) -> SFr
    2 AA (Hun) -> Yugo
    1 Inf, 1 Art (Bul); 1 Inf (Yugo) -> Rom
    1 Tank (Syr); 1 Mech (Egy); 1 Ftr (Alx) -> TrJ
    1 Inf (TrJ) -> Irq

    Build:
    6 Inf, 1 Art, 1 Tank (NIta)

    Collect: 22 + 17 = 39 IPC (yeah baby!)

  • PS: I forgot to indicate the Japanese income. It’s 35 IPC.


  • Change of plan: If the AC would suppress the sub, it moves to sz85 instead.

    In any event, the fact that the US has no surface ships with attack value in the atlantic is going to come back to hurt you!  :evil:


  • No luck there buddy, Alpha +3 rules say about convoy raiding ‘All surface ships, except an aircraft carrier’. Update your navy: the ‘happy days’ in the Atlantic are over.  :-P

    I’ll post the ANZAC and French turn tomorrow. The French will be back, with a vengeance! (when there are no threatening Germans around)


  • I moved the sub to Sz85 until you get official confirmation.

    DiceRolls: 2@3; Total Hits: 12@3: (1, 5)


  • Krieghund says “any warship will do”, so I assume that includes ACs. However, thinking about it, I’ve decided that my sub is going to sz91 anyway.

    PS: I’m shaking in my pants thinking about the French navy! 8) And for the rest of the guys, if you think that this is enough to have a successful landing anywhere else but French Westafrica, you’re sadly mistaken (btw I couldn’t give a damn if you were to land in FWA, so feel free to go there).

    PPS: Move the sub to sz91, no matter whether your AC can drive it under the water or not.
