13L G40 Hobo (Allies+9) vs Amon-Sul (Axis) 2nd game

Shall i proceed with the standard triple a bombing?

@hobo:

no, the issue is triplea rolls all the aa at once then you decide what is lost when hit. it shouldn’t be like that.

for example if you use 2 tac on 1 airbase, 1 tac on port, and 3 bombers on the complex, you need to specify and roll for each target individually.  if triplea handles it, a hit could be chosen from any of the air, but it could be important the port not get hit for example. if that port aa hits, then you could not damage the port instead of choosing a loss elsewhere.

But if I use all of my aircraft at bombing the IC ? Then I as the attacker choose the casualty.

Each industrial complex, air base, and naval base has its
own antiaircraft system. If there is an AAA (antiaircraft
artillery) unit in the targeted territory, don�t roll for
it. Those units are used to protect combat units. Each
complex and base rolls one die against each bomber
directly attacking it (regardless of the number of
bombers). For each �1� rolled, a bomber of the attacker�s
choice is immediately removed.

Are U sure that i can only choose a casualty if i attack the same building? Probably so , but just to be sure…

ok 3 bombers and 2 tac will atack the IC

and 1 tac will attack airfield

for IC

Rolls: 5@1; Total Hits: 05@1: (2, 3, 4, 2, 2)

for airfield

Rolls: 1@1; Total Hits: 11@1: (1)

Damage for IC

bombers

Rolls: 3@1; Total Hits: 13@1: (1, 2, 5)

tac.bombers

Rolls: 2@1; Total Hits: 02@1: (2, 2)

So bombers
1+2=3
2+2=4
5+2=7
(16)

tac
2
2
(4)

all together 20 IPC  8-)

sorry i forgot that the tacticals can not bomb IC. so airfield with them

that means

16 IPC dmg for IC and 4 for airfield

the program killed one of my  tac (the same as we here)

but it made 18 dmg to IC and 6 to airfield (2 more for each) - we should correct it

@hobo:

I think in the aa section each air unit is targeted. it’s not like normal combat where the defender chooses.

Yes, i think U re right. The key word is ˝each˝. So each building is a story for it self. The attacker can choose but can not mix between buildings.

Can U please post territory summary after each turn. Thank U :)

@hobo:

ok np. your defensive hit rate is still running well above average  :-(

8-) It is time that i improve the atttacking ones  8-)

@Amon-Sul:

So bombers
1+2=3
2+2=4
5+2=7
(16)

tac

all together 20 IPC  8-)

I ve counted wrong. It is 14 not 16.

We should correct it.

I apologise.
