11L '41 LL (Axis) v TDJ (Allies +5), -tech, +NO

if only I could have rolled the perfect 4-hit second round, it woulda been a giant victory.  but maybe my tanks will put up a spirited defense!!  here’s hoping.

@Boldfresh:

If you roll CAU aa guns you have to fight the CAU battle first no?

Not a problem for this round TDJ, but Bold’s got a point here.  If there were several battles with AA guns firing and they were all rolled at the start of the Combat phase rather than separately for each battle, it would be an unfair advantage to know how many planes you got shot down before resolving the battles one by one.  Here there were only two battles, one of which was the battle with AA fire and the other which was against only one infantry and involving no AA.

But in general, I believe the AA is fired and the battle for that territory immediately follows.

Thanks Bold, I’m trying to get back into this one!  I think that last German and Soviet round helped but there is still a long way to climb.

Cheers
