Odd question regarding capture/movement of AA Gun

Im looking for an experienced classic opponent, any variant will be fine.

IRL on triplea or pbem.

you would be correct scardog. lol i dont know why i put 3 fighters total. sorry about that misprint.

even with only 2 fighters, it is still pretty much a lock (barring crazy rolls)

and i made another misprint as well

instead of "combat:
battle 1, sea battle

2 battleships, 2 fighters, 1 sub, and 1 aircraft carrier    vs  1 fighter , 1 aircraft carrier, and a sub."

it should be 2 battleships, 1 bomber, i fighter*, 1 sub……

try downloading tripleA from triplea.sourceforge.net

Not realistic, but good looking with the nice counters, figures etc….
somewhere out there is this funny thread about how to misuse them, and “acting out” fighters that attack etc…

:lol: :lol: :lol:

BigBlocky relax, man! :wink:

The “when the Axis meet in Persia, they cannot be knocked off their inertia” is just a general rule of thumb, not some kind of victory condition! With that in mind, Morphling was just saying that when the Allies meet in Berlin, the game is probably in the bag for them, as the Axis generally can’t win on the force of 1 alone.

The only “official” victory conditions are military victory for the Allies (capture 2 enemy capitals); military victory or economic victory for the Axis (capture 2 enemy capitals, or have a combined income of 84+ IPCs at the end of any round of play). Anything else is a house rule or special rule…

@cystic:

You are reducing the number of dice rolls with number 2 for every ftr killed. Let me clarify, with
#1: You will always roll 12 dice. With #2 - say you shoot down one plane in territory 1 - the
most dice you will roll will be 10. If you shoot one in territory 1, then 1 in territory 2, the
most you will roll would be 9 dice - total. This means that overall, the probability of the 2nd
and 3rd (and 4th) hit might drop over time (as you lose planes and you decrease the number of
shots). Is my reasoning faulty here? Please point out if so.

I think you are correct in your logic. It doesn’t make sense to shoot at all the aircraft since
some of them might not have made it through each of the territories.

So, although aa gun fire is technically resolved during combat movement, it is more convenient to
resolve it during combat. Thus the extra “AA gun fires” step in the land combat sequence. If we
were to follow the rules exactly, you’d need to have multiple rounds of combat with each aa gun you
flew over during combat movement one gun at a time (order doesn’t matter). You need to track which
plane came from which territory as well because it is possible that you may choose to shoot down a
plane that defined a retreat territory. Whew!

Does anybody know how the CD-ROM version handles all this? (I don’t have a copy)

Basically my T1 for Russia is the same as yours mind a few exceptions. First I don’t place any inf. in the Caucasus. Why? Because Germany probably has better things to do with it’s inf like support N. Africa. Plus if Germany decides to I can just counterattack next turn, stripping German of 3-6 IPCs.

Second, I don’t use my planes on the attack on Ukraine. The inf. and ARM should be enough. Instead I use the Yaks to wipe out Germany’s trans and sub in the Baltic Sea and save my Russian sub and trans to help absorb hits when the Luftwaffe strikes against the British fleet.

Ahhhhh….
Thanx
