2014 Championship – (4) Ghostglider(+21) v (2) Gamerman01(Axis)

[gamerman01]

No intercept - I want to make you defend your fleet and Norway to the max, so don’t want to lose a single plane

Now roll at least one ace for me this time

[Ghostglider]

Luck is surely on your side now - I hope I get some back in your Germany turn,

Yeah, you finally lost a USA bomber to AA…  Have waited a long time for that

[gamerman01]

Alright, mixed SBR that Triple A doesn’t do right

Let’s say the first AA shot is from the airbase and the 2nd and 3rd are from the complex

Well, the first one was a one and Triple A actually took off the one going at the airbase, so no edits necessary

I lose a bomber, and only roll a 5, so 9 damage for a 12 IPC bomber - yet another disappointing bomb run for me

6 ANZ FTRs in z54 on 3 US carriers

[gamerman01]

Were all 4 German bombers sent at the IC in West Germany?
It looks like they were, but Triple A does a terrible job with this and doesn’t show it in the history

[Ghostglider]

3 W.GER, 1 GER

[Ghostglider]

Easy to see in TripleA…
Game/Show history + press on Round 14 US combat
Here you can see combat moves before rolling any dice

[Ghostglider]

Sorry - yes all 4 against IC

[Ghostglider]

If they dont all go against the same target I think it should be mentioned here, right?

[gamerman01]

@Ghostglider:

If they dont all go against the same target I think it should be mentioned here, right?

Should be, but never are.  That’s why I’m asking.

I did find that with no fighter intercept, if you combat move multiple bombers at once it asks you what facility you are bombing and I guess they all go to the same place.  But since you moved a fighter along with at the same time, and there was a potential air battle, I wasn’t sure it asked you.

Triple A doesn’t say in the history which facility the bombers were sent to, and rolls all the AA together.  This is why I asked to confirm.  Thank you for confirming that they all went at the IC.  Game on

[gamerman01]

Here we go again
In Egypt, the first AA die rolled will be by the naval base, the second by the IC
