Alsch (Axis) vs Auswanderersland and JamesAleman (Allies) Alpha 2

Worst case scenario for us…hit our 1 exposed bomber, and force a CV to die…but we didn’t lose 3 escorting ftrs that we exposed so I’m not really complaining  :roll:

Auswander&James vs Alsch 08eC.AAM

We only got 10 inf…30 ipcs for 12 at the moment, but then you get the cv as well, so its 30 for 28…interesting math at this point…we were suppose to just lose 3 ftrs…30 for you 30.

This is why the air concept may work, USA will lose on average a few more IPCs then they clear, but the other allies will take back the ground and if we clear the enemy land forces, they cannot retake ground.

If you hit well, we are slowed, if you miss we grow a bit larger…over time average rolls should level things out. We are due to lose some big air units since this was our second strafe.

This UK turn is going to be tricky, may pause for today. Sorry for this slow game, if its an issue let us know and I will push to speed things up.

It is an unusual round for dice.  The 3 fighter escorts lived.  An unescorted bomber dies.  We place a carrier to die, but that is for next rounds dice.  Just think JJ, he will have to commit at least 4 subs to guarantee no planes die, but he might opt for less, who knows?

Too bad you can’t change US production after the fact.  I want that bomber back!

Yes Britain is in process, but it is difficult with my son teething at the moment.  And since it is raining, can’t wear em down for a quiet night.

Turn 8 Britain/India

No production India save 7 IPC

Britain production 30 IPC:
1 airbase
5 inf

15 + 15 = 30 save 0

Auswander&James vs Alsch 08fBritaincombat.AAM

Forgot to declare repair of my Battleship, hope this was understood at the beginning of the turn, sorry.

z72 1 destroyer Italy sunk, no loss Britain

Noncombat move:
To z101: 1 british inf aboard US transport
To z88: 1 carrier, 1 destroyer z106; 2 fig UK
To Sco: 1 inf Eir
To z71: 4 inf, 4 art Saf loaded onto 4 transports
To z80: 1 Battleship, 1 carrier, 2 destroyer, 4 transports (loaded); 1 tac Cau
To Cpr: 4 inf, 4 art z80 transports; 1 inf, 3 art, 3 mec Npr; 2 fig, 2 mec Cau; 1 tnk, 3 mec Epr

JJ please confirm tac to Z80 and number of mecs to Cpr from Cau 1 and 2 respectively.  More mec to Cpr = less mec to Russia

To Bry: 1 tnk, 5 mec Cau
To Kaz: 1 mec Cau

JJ please confirm 1 mec to Kaz.  We can take from Bry for three in Kaz.

To Epr: 3 art Wind
To Wind: 4 inf, 4 art Ind

To Man: 1 tnk Korea

To z33: 1 Cruiser z6

Auswander&James vs Alsch 08fBrit.AAM

India no production save 7 IPC

Turn and IPC updated on battlemap

Auswander&James vs Alsch 08fB.AAM

Britain non-com change:
To Kaz: 1 tnk Cau, 1 tnk Epr

So essentially push the tank from Epr to Kaz and the tank from Cau to Kaz…hold the mec from Cau and push to Bry.

Anzac to follow shortly.

updated map and IPC

JJ please confirm this.  I think I have the noncoms for Australia correct, please look this over and give the go ahead so Alsch may finally have his move :)

oops, map

map says Anzac collected 16…but I only count 14…confirm?

Auswander&James vs Alsch 08gAnzac.AAM

It is 16, you are + 5 for an NO(DGu,Ngu,Sol,Nbr) - 3 for convoy(Cel)= 16

It all looks good, don’t forget to Seize Hon with USSR to liberate the UK factory :)

so 16 + 2 saved = 18 IPC collected.

Still am concerned about the Que noncombat - I don’t think I really understand what your gambit is there, give me a call when Wilkinson leaves.  I am coming down to the folks tonight for Easter dinner tomorrow.

Anzac not finished.
