G40 house ruled nerquen(Axis) vs. wittmann(Allies)

Scramble 3 fighters please , the OOL is flip BB, cruiser, 2 italian fighters, german fighter, kill BB

BUT importantly please add a british sub into that battle. It is such a popular bid in MED and I think it is really needed there. In my G1 opening I really ignored MED… you threw pretty much everything you can on Taranto, still with my scramble you have 27% chance to lose that battle… in my experience, a failed Taranto attack is so horrible for Allies that they hardly recover from it for the rest of the game… even with your extra sub I still get my 10% to actually win :)

btw, I see that the NO are not shown correctly, but they shall be calculated correctly according to new definitions, so just want to remind you that UK has a new NO of 5 IPC for freeing Atlantic of german subs and keeping original territories is reduced from 5 to 3.

Also, thinking more about the new NO of holding Western Europe for Germany, I think I would reward this new NO only if Germany holds at least one Russian VC… otherwise Germany will start collecting that NO form G2 on, and I don’t really see a point helping Germany here.

also don’t forget that bombers are now attacking at 0 if not supported by a warship, so don’t kill all your boats before the bomber

ok, testing the new blitzing feature here… purchased a TT and attacking SZ97, does your sub submerge? if not who dies first?  note that regular combat move will follow

yes that is the plan…

Just a cruiser supported by sub is attacking

feel free to adjust your UK/french/Anzac move retrospectivelly… if you forgot about the blitzing option for my cruiser

maybe 2 anzac infantry shall stayed in Egypt?

in Ita1 I switched German armor and inf in Romania/Bulgraia, I copied that wrongly from my original move. Also I edited UK income as they were not supposed to coledt for just conquered Ethiopia.

in Jap2 in my combat move I forgot to actually move TT to conquer empy Borneo and forgot to move land units to Kwangtung. So I eddited those into those regions between the battles, but the engine did not pick my new land units for the battle and rolled my dice only for planes… luckily planes were capable enough to win that battle without infantry so no edits were required. Also I decided for you not to scramble the guam fighter… as he missed there is no difference, but the question pretty much was either a damaged BB or killed infantry, I wanted to let you chose after the battle.

Also in J2 the rule that there is no income from just conquered territories hit Japan hard… -19 IPC in the edit, that is a lot, quite an impact of this rule on Japan… attrition battles for territories shall be a good strategy for Allies… original owner (or its ally) collects 1/2 (rounded up) from just conquered territory, but enemy collects 0…

And yes, my attempt to blitz in MED did not work at all, your cruiser deserves a medal, it even killed my plane in G2.
