Gamerman's G40 Laegue House Rules Playtest Shin Ji (Axis) vs Nozdormu (Allies)

@Nozdormu:

@Nozdormu:

@Shin:

1 hit on the second round.  Man, what a waste.  :lol:

Well go for 1 infantry. I need to save my AA for your German airforce. They need more targets.

Kinda wondering what the maximum amount of kills is with AA. 3-4?

Each AA gets 3 shots, so it depends on how many planes are attacking.  Or did you mean what’s the max ever shot down in one AA roll?

Oh?  Isn’t that how we did it the last few times?

Or you mean for the intercept?

Truthfully, I’m very sleepy right now.  I could be missing something obvious, but I thought you made the choice of where to attack after the air battle, don’t you?

Page 17 of the Europe Rulebook seems to back me up.

“After the air battle is complete, or if there were no
defending fighter interceptors, surviving fighter escorts
are considered to have retreated. They don�t participate
in the actual bombing raid, are not subject to antiaircraft
fire, and will remain in the territory until the Noncombat
Move phase. Any surviving attacking bombers carry out
the bombing raid. If the territory offers more than one
target, the bombers may be divided into groups, and each
assigned a specific target”

So it seems the order of operations is the same way it works in TripleA, right?

There’s also this earlier on the same page:

“To conduct a bombing raid, the attacking player moves
his or her bombers to the territory on the map containing
the target(s).”

I think I’ll need an OOL here.  I hit you 7 times.

Well, I need to shut my computer down, so I’m going to roll it through with the standard units lost.  If I win, it won’t matter.  If I don’t, we can roll it out here later.
