Global 40 2e, nerquen (Axis) vs. DaddyK (Allies +8), game2

Russians cannot attack Germany before turn 3…. I requested that edit before your move, see earlier in the thread… I just thought you forgot to perform it in your move so I did it… then I was in rush so forgot to remind you about it. Please let me know if it is ok now or you want to adjust/change something

@DaddyK:

Also I would have moved the Russian sub to from 127 to 112.

This I can easily edit in my move, anything else you would like to edit/ reroll?

I attacked your Mediterranean fleet and scrambled all your fighters. My luck continues and I got many hits in the round 1 of the battle. I need your OOL. Find the log attached.

Maybe an important detail for that log which I failed to implement: I wanted to attack SZ92 via both SZ93 and SZ94… so I would have an option to retreat to either of them if I wanted. In the log file I sent you I forgot to explicitly navigate the attack that way and it automatically went only via SZ93. So please give me your OOL considering that I can retreat to both of SZ93, SZ94. Thanks.

You can check the hits in a started battle by simply clicking on the battle in progress in the right list of battles (to avoid accidental start of a different battle it is best to review it in the local mode).

Also I noticed that sometimes you do not follow the order of the battles according to the rules (tripleA does not enforce this). The rules state that all naval battles must be played first, then amphibious assaults and last the regular common battles. In most cases the order does not matter but in some cases you can get some extra illegal information when deciding whether to stay or retreat from a battle.

I keep having problems spotting obvious things, I really miscalculated what my odds in protecting those Italian transports are… thus I edit back my retreat from the naval battle to the original location…  please use the attached file…
