Global 40 2e, nerquen (Axis) vs. DaddyK (Allies +8)

[nerquen]

I screw up the battle in SZ104… I did my combat move on a train commuting to work… then when I came to my offfice and was ready to roll the dice I found that my fighter can join the battle in SZ104, so I moved him in… and then thought… that I don’t need a sub in SZ104, I can send it to SZ109 instead… my plan was that in a worst case, if your sub in SZ104 hits I would sacrifice a fighter… as the main purpose of my move was to deny US a landing in Germany…

then you rolled your hit in SZ104 and what was my desperation realizing too late that my fighter can’t take the hit and my blocking destroyer died…

I would need to redo my postcombat move in Germany…  but I can’t see Europe surviving much longer after this mistake.

Or, since this is a friendly game, would you not allow me to change my submarine from SZ109 for a destryer in SZ104, pretending that I did not forget that my fighter could not take a hit from your submarine?

[nerquen]

I will submit later today two files with my edits, one with my edits if you allow me to change the casualties (see above post) and the other one if you don’t…

[nerquen]

here are two files with alternative edits, I prefer the one with Submarine/Destroyer exchange… but if you don’t like such an edit take the other one. Thanks.

[DaddyK]

No problem, I will use the one you would like me to use.  We are playing a game after all.  Those subs just have a tough time shooting those torpedoes into the air (although in this case I wish they could).  Sorry, but I don’t think I will be able to do my turn until tomorrow

Thought I would check to see if you want to specify an order of loss for the big battle in Java sea, or just go with the Triplea standard order?

[nerquen]

pretty complex decision making for that battle… I went ahead and rolled dice for first round and took my casaulties. I selected 1 of ,y submarine hits to reduce your BB. You can edit that if you don’t like it. It is your turn to select casaulties. For the following rounds my OOL is:  submarine, destroyer, 3 carriers, cruiser, destroyer, 2 BB, 2 t. bombers, 2 fighters, last t. bomber, last fighter and the transport

of course, there is no problem with the edit. due to your mistake, I finally learnt how submarine works… I thought that if a submarine submerges it still must survive the opponent’s submarine shooting of that turn. That was the reason I attacked your submarine with 2 of mine on previous German turn.  Now I understand how useless move that was… at least I got some convoys disrupted from that.

Well I think that roll probably seals the game for you.  I needed average rolls in the US and ANZAC attacks to take out the Japanese ships, which was my chance to slow/stem the Japanese tide, but didn’t get it.  I used max defense for your ool (normally I would have asked you, but after my pathetic first roll it did not seem like it would matter), I suppose you might have lost the cruiser instead of an AC.  Let me know if you want to change and re-roll accordingly.

[nerquen]

The casualties are ok, I would do the same. I am getting beginner’s luck in this game :))) . I did not expect many of my ships to survive the ANZAC raid… the AAA battle calculator was giving like 50:50 odds.

I think I made a mistake by flipping all my 3 carriers on first round of the US attack. I thought you would not retreat from the fight as early. If I killed a sub and keep one carrier undamaged I would make my chances against ANZAC much better… but then you would very probably not retreat with your US fleet and just keep fighting until all my carriers are damaged.

This kind of sucks… that I do a mistake in my combat reasoning and at the end come up with a nice victory.

But frankly… the US attack surprised me… I thought you would wait a turn or two longer till your fleet gets larger… it looks to me USA can grow its fleet with higher rate than Japan…

OK we will see if I can use the advantage of the previous battles for something useful. In my view the game is pretty open now… you kick my ass badly in Europe… communism will spread all over Africa soon and then The Red Army will be unstoppable… Now I got an advantage in Pacific… it will be interesting to see how the war ends…

I am traveling till Saturday evening so my response will get worse… but I believe there will be internet at the hotel so I should be able to post once a day…
