Trajan01 (Allies) vs Alex (Axis), G40 alpha3+

[lexgreat]

From Mor it can reach London, which I guess is what you want. If you tell me that is what you would have done (although I see no reason why the fig should go there strategically (I could not have reached Mor with a combat move), I certainly am fine with it.

[Trajan01]

Agree, Fr Ftr stays in Alg, no way i would have moved it.

For z33 Battle, I assume you are bringing 13 Ftr, 8 Tac, 12 Sub, 2 DD, 1 Cr, 5 Cv, 2 DD or something similar. If vastly less than this, I’ll need to re-think, but otherwise:
Scramble 2 Ftrs
OOL is fight to the death, save as much defense as possible, so:
1 Hit Each on BBs, CVs
Anz Subs
US Subs
Anz DDs
US DDs (except save 1 if you have a sub left)
Anz CV
US CVs
US Cr
Anz Cr
US Tacs
US BB

US BB

Naval battle, comes as 75% for Japan (99% low luck). Those can go horribly wrong of course, would be game over for Japan. A Japan win would not kill the Allies.

Trajan, congrats to this battle. I am sorry I made one mistake, not taking your DD after my subs were gone. But I think I am the one that is frustrated, did not manage to get your BB with three air, so even your TTs live. Its only a game, but those are the moments were I think “Diplomacy”.

Wow…I can’t believe it, a draw had to be < 1% probability.
I didn’t go through the battle in detail, so I don’t understand your comment on Diplomacy (I’m familiar with the game but have never played).
