No scramble. Sub fights, unless you get first hit, then kill the DD and submerge the sub.
12L AA50-41 Gamerman01 v LL(+12)
-
Seems like about average…
Italians had about a 1 in 4 chance of sinking everything, going in
The destroyer greatly increases your chances of repelling the Germans, assuming you move a lot of subs in
Losing the fighter will help your chances of holding Z12 through G9, but you will probably lose another American fighter because of it.
Of course, this is all academic because the dice gave me the game the first round and beyondI didn’t wait, so you have every right to change the choice afterwards, and I can’t really argue. That’s what I give up by expediting the battle and assuming choices. Thanks for being a good sport, as always

Karl kept me busy with a 1940 game today, or I’d keep this one moving forward…. not that you’re having too much fun with this one…
It’s the first time I’ve been past like round 4 in a global game (have played several different rulesets over the past two years, too :-P) and we’ve got a very tight one going. It takes countless hours to play that game right, but man is it a whole 'nother level of A&A…
I liberated France in round 7 or 8 and am denying counterattacks so far, so that’s been fun. Will soon be spending 17 IPC’s with France for the second time. Thinking about buying a researcher because I can :-D Couldn’t bring myself to do it the first time though - wanted a fighter more.
Also about to do a neutral crush, unless I change my mind. Spain is hugely strategic for USA - 5 different sea zones to build in, and one of them off South France allows naval base access right out of the gate if South France is controlled…
Check it out - it’s a heckuva game. He just got the 5th city with Japan and needs that all-elusive 6th to seal the game. He’s also got Moscow under siege and the Japs are closing in. The middle east oil bonuses are calling the Axis… But USA just got improved shipyards, and it’s USA and UK’s turn…It’s like the old Classic game in that it always looks really good for the Axis after Japan goes, but really good for the Allies after Russia (Classic) or USA/UK/ANZ/France (1940) goes…
The game has been out for 2 full years, and this is the first compelling game I’ve had… Has a lot to do with my opponent (Karl’s played real sound) and the Alpha3 ruleset, I think…
Let me know if you check it out.
Until tomorrow then… Cheers

Consider carefully - take your time
Map attached
Need casualty choice for Z12 and will be needing choices for Persia after 12 is done
Too tired to figure out whether it’s ok to roll Persia attack right now, so just won’t - will play it by the book -
Yeah, it should be OK… let’s move things along

That’s weird. With all those 1’s hitting, it’s still 2 hits below average
OK, waiting for choices for 12 and Persia both

Lose 3 submarines in Z12 and lose 14 infantry in PER
