13L G40 Nerquen (Axis) vs Tyzoq (Allies +11)

[nerquen]

I need your scramble orders and OOL for SZ33.

[Tyzoq]

scramble 3 ftr.

Round 1 OOL: start by damaging BB, 2AC, then lose 4 subs, then lose 3 DD, lose 1 AC, 3 ANZ Ftr if you get more than 14 hits please send another OOL request
Round 2: Request Round by Round OOL

[nerquen]

OK:

round 1: I got 11 hits, followed your OOL, you got 7 its: I flipped all 3 ships + 3subs + DD

round2: I got 9 hits, OOL?

[nerquen]

that means… decide 1 unit to keep into round 3

[Tyzoq]

keep the BB

[Tyzoq]

I am counting that I keep 2 but I could be wrong.  +1 Ftr if it is 2

[Tyzoq]

yep I couldn’t count  :-)

[nerquen]

ok my luck is still on, more planes survived the Caroline raid than I planned for.

[Tyzoq]

@nerquen:

ok my luck is still on, more planes survived the Caroline raid than I planned for.

Oh believe me, I noticed…

I just noticed you landed Italian Fighters in a territory that was an Axis-friendly neutral at the start of Italy’s turn.  Is that allowed?

[Tyzoq]

I found the answer.

“Air Units: An air unit must end its move in an eligible landing space. Air units can land in any territory that was friendly (but not friendly neutral) at the start of the current turn.”

• page 22 “Rulebook Europe 1940 2nd edition”

This will need to be corrected before I continue.

[nerquen]

Sorry, I also thought it should be not possible but then when trippleA allowed it I thought it is ok. I land them in Trans-Jordan instead.

[nerquen]

Actually,

my plan was to hold Iraq, without the fighters it is not possible if you commit maximal attack.

But if I knew Italian fighters can’t land in Iraq… I would adjust my German round this way

combat move:
2 W Germany fighters -> Iraq (instead of Norway)
2 Baltic States t.bombers -> Norway (instead of SZ115)
my sub to SZ115 (instead of SZ113)

non-combat move
2 t. bombers from Norway to Finland
1 fighter from Norway to W Germany (instead of Novgorod)

placement
2 mechs to W Germany, instead of Germany

Overall it makes me 1 fighter short on each eastern and western front and adds 2 fighters to Middle East.
We would need to reroll battle in SZ115 (1 DD + 1 sub + 1 t.bomber against your sub)… fortunately, you can only gain by rerolling SZ115.
The battle in Norway, I would keep as was, as I only upgraded 2 fighters to t. bombers. So one of my dice improved from 3 to 4 but I don’t mind it.

Since the situation on the eastern front is about the same (1 fighter short + 2 tac. bombers from Novgorod are in Finland now) I hope you don’t need any complex adjustments to your R5.

If this is ok, please accommodate the edits (along with the 2 Italian fighters from Iraq to Jordan) and please reroll SZ115 on the thread.

Thanks.

[Tyzoq]

I thought you might want to make additional changes.  Go ahead and edit in the changes and I’ll take a closer look at it, but I think it all sounds fine.  I don’t think you need to reroll sz115 your first roll at 3 was a hit, however, if you feel you need to then go ahead.

[nerquen]

I think we have to reroll SZ115, it would be too simple to move unnecessary units from a battle somewhere else once you know the battle is secured with a smaller attack force.

So I reroll here 1 sub + 1 DD + 1 tac against your sub

my attack
Rolls: 2@2 1@3; Total Hits: 12@2: (4, 6)1@3: (3)

your defense
:aaa 1@1

[nerquen]

second try for your defense

Rolls: 1@1; Total Hits: 01@1: (5)

[nerquen]

ok, so no change in the battle outcome… here is the log file with the edits

[Tyzoq]

sorry for the delay.  I’ll be very busy the next couple weeks so my move will continue to be slow.

[nerquen]

ok, no problem
