@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.
Just finishing this up here…
Trihero played a GREAT game, and taught me a hell of a lot in short order.
I made some CRITICAL mistakes (see the game thread for details), and Trihero exploited them to the max.
It was truly an honor to play Trihero, and I do look forward to a re-match at some time!
Thank you Wes!
Thanks too switch for being so gracious and showing me some errors in my Allied play. I believe you’re going to shape up to be extremely tough on the next bout. I usually have problems being too aggressive against Germany and too conservative against Japan haha.

Your aggression against Germany was well warranted with my play. But, when we play again, might I suggst you pressure Japan just a bit…
Had I even done something as minor as put all of my G2 build in Germany, you would have faced a Russia that was down to Russia/Evenk/Novo on R3, and that is just too weak of a position for Russia if faced with a competant German player (which I was NOT). Allowing me to advance to Sinkiang, India, and Yakut without loss, had I built 3 trannies in J1, would have been devastating if I had not blundered so badly as Germany in G1. If you are going to pull back, at least leave 1 INF to tie up some of Japan’s offensive fire-power, and to reduce the forces reaching Russia by a few INF along the way. A 6 INF Yakut stack would have slowed Japan significantly…
And I do believe that if ANYONE had any doubt about the idiocy of the “minor victory” we put THAT to bed with this game :-)
I just have bad memories of trying to do a split action LOL. When I was absolutely terrible with the Allies I would try really goofy things like complexes everywhere (sinkiang, india, southern africa) like try to slow both powers. I probably should have stalled a little bit longer in Asia, although there is a reason to my retreating: I was retreating to a point where I had enough offensive power to destroy your little inf separately. I didn’t want to face something on the order of 4+ fighters + 1 bomber with infantry guarding them when all I had was little bits of infantry; I’d rather wait until you got close then jump the infantry without any of the airforce interfering. Though yea, you didn’t have all that many infantry and if I had stood a little earlier I could have cost you some infantry power which would make you wait for reinforcements before pressing.
And with that… time for bed here in North Carolina.
Thank you again for the game Wes.
I hope to next time be a far more worthy player.
