@Spud said in Combined bombardment in AAR:
Does anyone know if the destroyers need to be accompanied by a battleship in order to use combined bombardment?
No. There’s nothing in the rules indicating that.
Awaiting utter destruction by the German forces :cry:
AA shots:
Against fighters: 2, 2, 3, 4, 6
Against bomber: 1 (hit)I took the liberty to roll for my Belorussia guy and the 5 guys remaining in Caucasus.
The Belorussia guy misses with a 4 (copied your guy apparently : / )
The five infantry go : 2, 4, 4, 6, 6 (bad roll like your west russia defense).
Finishing Bel then…
INF rolled 2 and 5 (miss)
ARM rolled 3 and 3 (2 hits).
Your INF dead. Germany takes Bel with 2 INF and 2 tanks
In Caucuses (I’ll count those as 5 of your defense INF’s, but I show 9 INF present in Caucuses, plus 1 tank, so you will need to roll 3 more INF and 1 tank:
Germany loses 1 fig to AA (I choose the loss, you rolled 6 AA, 1 hit, I lose the fig not the bomber)
2 INF roll 4 and 5 (misses)
2 INF supported and 2 ART roll 2, 3, 4, 5 (1 hit)
3 ARM roll 5, 5, 5 (that sucks, 3 misses)
4 figs roll 1, 2, 3, 4 (more like it, 4 hits)
1 Bomber rolls 1m (1 hit)
Total attack rolls:
1 INF lost to BB
1 INF lost to ART
4 INF lost to figs.
Awaiting last 3 INF defense rolls and tank defense roll for battle round 1
Purchase: 4 infantry and 3 artillery, 0 IPCs leftover.
3 infantry + 1 fighter from karelia, as well as the fighter from moscow, attack Belorussia.
3 infantry + tank from Archangel, 3 infantry + 2 tanks + 1 art from moscow, 3 infantry + 1 tank + 1 art, attack West Russia.
I choose to resolve the Belorussia attack first.
Shoot I can see where you didn’t count my Caucasus forces correctly. See that set “3 infantry + 1 tank + 1 art”? That comes from Caucasus (I didn’t put a label by accident) which attacked West Russia on the first turn. If I hadn’t used those forces I would have had much lower rolls. Do you still wish to proceed with this combat?
By the way you can’t not lose the bomber. In the rulebook you roll separate dice for fighters vs bombers; I rolled 5 white dice (fighter) and 1 black dice (bomber). The 1 was on the black dice.
OK, I’ll lose the bomber :-P Sine the roll was a 1 for it though, was still a fig hit. So I’ll trash the Bomber and replace with fig.
As far as the INF from the West Russia attack…
That leaves me a lot more forces in WR than I had counted on, but I’ll continue.
Removing the 3 INF, 1 ART and 1 ARM to replace in WR.
And then with that adjustement, your Caucuses forces are dead with no remaining counter.
Damn, A few things I’d ahve done differently, but we’ll call it fog of war and go with it :-)
Combat Moves:
3 Norway INF to Karelia (open, taken w/o loss)
2 Eastern INF, to Bel
1 Eastern ARM to Caucuses
2 Germany ARM to Bel
1 Southern INF and 1 ART via tranny to Caucuses (with BB)
3 Ukraine INF, 1 ART, 1 ARM to Caucuses
1 Norway fig to Caucuses
1 German fig to Caucuses
1 German Bomber to Caucuses
1 Eastern fig to Caucuses
1 Balkans fig to Caucuses
1 Ukraine fig to Caucuses
I don’t see how you attacked with 3 armors. Did you forget to mention that you wanted to move the Balkans tank to attack Caucasus as well? I only see 2 tanks, 1 from ukraine and 1 form east europe. We’ll call it fog of war too if you did indeed attack with the eastern tank. Anyways proceed with your turn. I have to work soon so I might not get to the UK’s turn.
Germany Non-Combat:
All figs from Caucuses battle land in Ukraine
Western Fig flies to Ukraine
1 Southern INF and 1 Germany INF to Balkans
2 Germany INF 2 Eastern
2 Germany tanks to Eastern
2 Baltic Subs, Tranny and Destroyer to SZ 7
1 SZ 8 sub to SZ7
Germany mobilizes
1 ART and 1 INF in Southern
3 INF, 1 ART, 4 ARM in Germany
Money/Land:
Russia: 28/20
Germany: 44/44
UK: 30/30
Japan: 30/30
US: 42/42
And yes, sorry about the Balkan tank.
We’ll both try to do better going forward. If you have time for UK, we’ll begin, otherwise, see you tomorrow.
2 Germany tanks to Eastern
I assume you mean that the 2 Western Europe tanks go to Eastern Europe, since the 2 German tanks are already in Belorussia from the combat move.
2 Germany INF 2 Eastern
And I assume that second “2” is “to” as in 2 germany inf move to eastern europe.
All right yeah I have to work now, I’ll be back in 4 hours so don’t wait up. Tomorrow about the same time I guess?

Wes,
In order to keep the Mods from getting upset, I set up a new forum in the Games venue for us to continue.
