14L Whackamatt (Axis) vs Soup (Allies +14)

yes please, 2 fighters and 1 tac.

Do you know about the battle calculator?  It’s on the territory tab.  You can adjust the forces will be for both sides in a simulated battle, and it will tell you your odds of winning, how many units on average you’ll have left over, etc.  That way it’s easier to tell than just eyeballing it if an attack is a good idea or not.

But even without the calculator, this 2 units vs 4 units is not a very good idea.  :wink:

Well if you forget and say, “Oh!  Forgot he could scramble!”  you should close Triple A and reopen it.  Nothing says you can’t.  So if you want to take it back, I’m cool with that.

I redo most turns multiple times (pre-combat, of course), changing my purchases and where I attack.

And even a friendly, “Hey, I’m redoing my CM because I forgot about scrambling, disregard the posted CM/scramble question.”  So long as you don’t resolve any combat, most opponents will be fine with it.

In such a case, you would reload from China, yes.  Because you bought a tech and didn’t score anything, you’d repeat that, only if you actually won a tech, you would then remove it through edit mode to be true to the original dice, then do the UK turn.

And make sure you state what you’re doing in the forums, as seeing multiple dice results for the same thing make people uneasy.

Round: 2

Purchase Units - Italians
            Italians buy nothing; Remaining resources: 1 PUs;

Combat Move - Italians
            3 fighters moved from Southern Italy to 93 Sea Zone
            6 infantry moved from Southern Italy to Northern Italy

Combat - Italians
            Battle in 93 Sea Zone
                Italians attack with 3 fighters
                British defend with 1 carrier and 2 cruisers
                Italians win with 1 fighter remaining. Battle score for attacker is 20
                Casualties for British: 1 carrier and 2 cruisers
                Casualties for Italians: 2 fighters

Non Combat Move - Italians
            1 fighter moved from 93 Sea Zone to Southern Italy
            2 aaGuns, 1 artillery and 1 infantry moved from Yugoslavia to Romania
            1 armour moved from Albania to Romania
            1 armour and 2 infantry moved from Bulgaria to Romania

Turn Complete - Italians
            Italians collect 9 PUs; end with 10 PUs total
            Objective Italians 1 Control The Mediterranean: Italians met a national objective for an additional 5 PUs; end with 15 PUs

I would also ask why you purchased a bomber for the UK, after Germany bought 10 transports to invade london?  A strat bomber costs 12 and defends at a 1.  instead, it could have been 4 hits (infantry @ 3ICs each) that defend at a 2 each.

If you would like to edit/change your purchase, I’m okay with that too; it wouldn’t have affected Italy’s turn at all.

Even without the scramble though, due to the turn order, Germany will go next before that bomber can do anything.  :wink:

yes please.

This is a good example where you could have assumed a submerge, and if I came back saying I wanted to fight, we could roll it in the forums.  No point in slowing down the game for these small fights.
