Scramble combat question

The AA50 game we just finished the US bombed the hell out of Germany. We used the unit counter chips (red-5, gray-1) to show damage. It worded ok. Even if there is a mix-up and chips go flying (which happened) you tend to remember how many damage there was. What seems to get mixed up is how many tanks vs inf you had. Even if you had different colors to show damage (good idea), you might need two damage colors to show increments, other wise you could have towers in some cases. For at least 2-3 rounds Germany was damaged into double digits.

ah, thank you.  I looked on the unit description for Naval bases and didn’t see anything.

@calvinhobbesliker:

If you move a sub into a SZ with 2 transports, are you allowed to just kill 1 and retreat the sub?

No.  They are both automatically destroyed.

@Hellmet:

Thanks all for the quick answers!!  Just a point of clarity, I assume that the sub must fight or flee on HIS (the US) combat turn and NOT Japan’s.

Of course.

@Tragedy:

Thanks as always for the quick response.

Sooo, 3 hops for a plane to go from Aleutian to Alaska?  :-D

That would be right.  Plus it is right for actual distances. When the Alaska Marine Highway system goes to Unalaska it takes a good week and basically disrupts its schedule to do it once every three weeks.

By plane while faster still has about 1,000 miles to travel from Anchorage to Dutch Harbor / Unalaska.

Yes, damaged battleships can bombard.

A single attacking warship (or any unit with an attack value of 1+) in a sea zone with just enemy transports will destroy all the transports. The undefended transports rule is there so you don’t have to keep rolling the dice to finish a battle that has only one possible outcome - the destruction of all the transports.

You can keep hitting them, but they can’t hit you back. It might take you ten additional rounds of combat, but eventually you will roll the number of hits needed. No point rolling the dice, just remove the transports.

Thanks Stoney

The people like you make this site a great community.

Ah, nice! I thougt they had a lot more to do still. I dont care for AI the least.

Yes playing by myself is a real bummer, trying to find people in my area “Nashville”.  Good new is my son and my son-in-law both will be moving here some time this year.  Until then I have no choice but to play myself.  The good news is I win every time.  The bad is news is I loose just as many……
