1940.2 - Witt & PP Axis vs Colt & FMErwinRommel Allies (+25)

All this complex A&A planning is getting to me.  ANZ attacked Borneo DD, sub and tt with planes and sub, but I decided to save ANZ DD, since I had enough power.  Forgot that I couldn’t hit the Jpn sub without DD.  Wasn’t paying close attention to the prompts and clicked remain.  Should have clicked subs submerge.  Jpn sub rolled a 1 and sank the ANZ sub first strike.  Lucky dice for Jpn.  I sank the Jpn DD and tt, but the sub lives on.  Bombing raid on Phil naval base max damage.

Thanks, but it was my fault for attacking.  However, if Witt says he would have submerged, if asked, then we can just ignore the underwater battle and restore the ANZ sub.  What do you say Witt?  I know Colt’s standard reply is submerge in the absence of DD.

I agree with the no scramble.  I wondered when you would build an IC in Cau.

Test summary from TripleA, engine version: 1.9, time: 06:55:02

couldn’t open your test file.

I will swap a Ft fro a DD and save two.

Witt, you said you would swap a ft for a dd.  In the turn summary, you edited out a ft but didn’t add a dd.  You did edit in a sub in sz 35.  What was that about?

Looks like edited ij the wrong ship. Could you please swap it fir a DD? I moved  the SZ6 one to compensate for the new one made.

As requested, I removed Jpn sub and added dd to Phil.  I also gave Jpn 2 P.U.  It was late and I made some mistakes.  Mistook Ger sub for dd and U.S. made combat move to attack sub in sz119.  Battle didn’t occur, I moved U.S. sub instead to sz109.  Brit attack on Persia: changed attacking inf from E. Persia instead of from Iraq.  Somehow under clicked my builds and had cash left over.  I built 2 mech in S. Afr and reduced P…U. by 8 down to 0.  I will not be available Friday.

My usual Friday watching granddaughter, so no turn today.  Finally realized that since my ftrs have no target and Ger can’t currently win attack on Iraq, that I can spare stationing interceptors in Egypt to make it too costly for Ger to bomb IC.  If the Ger would just stand up like men and be bombed.  Come out, come out wherever you are.

Doodlebugs?  What are doodlebugs?  I see the Italians are making the long trek across Europe to the mideast.  Why don’t they sail across the Med instead?
