Champinoman (Allies) vs Thurhame (Axis) 1940.2 Global

[champinoman]

Yeah, scramble both of the fighters. They’re doomed but I think it’ll be a better net result for me with them there.

I once again didn’t consider the possibilty of you bringing in units from Japan. It just seems so far away that I never consider it.

[Thurhame]

Oh, and you have the option to submerge your Indian sub, since I don’t have a destroyer there. Sorry I didn’t notice earlier.

[champinoman]

Keep him in the battle. I’ll need the fodder.

[champinoman]

Might have made an error here so wanted to check with you for OOL.

I attacked SZ26 with 1 Battleship and 3 subs. You’re defending with an A/C, I tact bomb and 1 fighter.

1st round of attack:
US:
3 subs all missed.
Battleship hit for 1. This is where I think I got it wrong. TripleA assigned the hit to the A/C. However after I clicked it I realised that if you take the damage on the A/C then your planes have nowhere to land and are doomed regardless of the result.

Would you prefer I put the hit onto the tact bomber?

[champinoman]

Forgot to mention that I played the battle through to the end of round 2 in the event that you want the hit assigned to the A/C.

If you decide to take the hit on the tact bomber then I’ll roll an additional dice for the A/C in round 2 before continuing the battle. (The tact bomber missed anyway so it won’t effect the battle).

[Thurhame]

Take the first hit on the AC. I don’t see any way for it to survive by itself against three subs (my planes can’t hit the subs).

If I scored 1+ hit on the battleship in the first round, take the next hit on the tac (if possible), so the carrier can get more shots on the subs. As long as the battleship is whole, go with the defaults.
