@Degrasse:

Combat - Russians
            Battle in Archangel
                Russians attack with 1 fighter, 1 infantry and 1 tactical_bomber
                Germans defend with 1 infantry
                    Russians roll dice for 1 fighter, 1 infantry and 1 tactical_bomber in Archangel, round 2 :  1/3 hits
                    Germans roll dice for 1 infantry in Archangel, round 2 :  0/1 hits
                    1 infantry owned by the Germans lost in Archangel
                Russians win, taking Archangel from Germans with 1 fighter, 1 infantry and 1 tactical_bomber remaining. Battle score for attacker is 3
                Casualties for Germans: 1 infantry

Just as a friendly hint for future reference. Probably not the best idea to try this battle in this situation.

Trigger Russians 1 Lend Lease: Russians met a national objective for an additional 5 PUs; end with 29 PUs

Because you basically just gave Germany an extra $6 next turn by taking that terr and then evacuating Moscow.

[Degrasse]

I thought about that after I did the attack, but then didn’t worry about it.  Russia is the one country that I don’t really care to play.  China is even more one dimensional, but I like the challenge in China of annoying Japan as much as possible.  Russia to me is just a speed bump that I don’t play as well as the other countries.  I had Vold playing Russia for me in the XDAP tournament, he does a much better job.

[seth4god]

I rolled for tech and missed. And then didn’t like my purchases while I was setting up my attacks and restarted. I didn’t roll for tech the 2nd time around, but you will see a -5 edit to Japan’s cash. Just letting you know so you wouldn’t wonder when you saw the edit.

And as far a Russia goes. They may just be a speed bump, but they’re still a very important part of the allied scheme. Is 6 bucks going to make or break this for either side in the grand scheme of things? Not really, but mistakes can pile up and start snowballing. At the very least, I get Germany’s next tech roll basically free of charge.

[seth4god]

Need OOL for sz16 if I get a hit on the first round.

Also need scramble orders for Wake and OOL there? I’m assuming best D for this one.

[Degrasse]

Sea zone 16, lose the sub and then the destroyer

Sea zone 25 (Midway Island, are you lost in the Pacific?  :) )  Scramble three fighters and max defense

1.  Free hits
2.  2s, the DD and CV
3.  3s, but no CAs or tac
3.  4s, Fighters and then battleship

[seth4god]

Right, Midway.

[Degrasse]

I need intercept orders for Rome for the three fighters against the three bombers

[Degrasse]

And I’ve managed to hit the wrong buttons on the game in progress.  If you do intercept, please go ahead and roll the dice on the forum for the results.  I’ll back up and edit the game file to reflect any intercept casualties.

[seth4god]

I honestly haven’t seen the results of your bombing one way or the other. But yes, I will intercept. 3 vs 3 baby!

[Degrasse]

Here’s hoping I’m doing the commands right.

Your three fighters, looking for ones.
Rolling 3d6:
(1, 1, 2)

My three bombers, returning fire looking for ones.
Rolling 3d6:
(2, 4, 6)

[Degrasse]

I’ll edit the file to remove two bombers and then go by the first die for the AA fire for the surviving bomber.  It should be hitting the airfield.

[seth4god]

Sorry, you’re just not catching many breaks here.

[Degrasse]

The first AA die missed but now I need to roll airfield damage.  best of 2d6 for the heavy bombers

Rolling 2d6:
(4, 4)

[Degrasse]

So I’ll edit the air field to have the six damage.

Rough turn on bombers, 3 of 4 knocked down.
