@BombsAway said in L25 BM BombsAway (Axis) v simon33 (Allies + 20):

Up for another game, switch sides, same bid?

Want to wait until the weekend.

@simon33 said in crocket36 (Allies) vs Simon33 (Axis+6) French Rebalance:

OOL, DD, Cru then I’m not sure.

If you get 3 hits in the first round you can take a plane.

Regarding SZ92. Maybe this game wasn’t typical as I purchased two bombers (as I like them at 12IPC), whereas most would probably buy navy or slow movers.

I think the key to stopping the attack 92 is having enough in 92 (with scramble from Gibraltar) to discourage a direct attack by the Italians, whilst also having enough in Algeria to discourage Italy invading and giving the Luftwaffe a landing spot. Depending on how the G1 attacks play out, the UK can often achieve, but without a bid I guess it is more likely this will be a stretch.

Maybe some existing units could be moved to help the UK against I1 and G2 attacks. Possibly moving one French ship from 93 to 92 could free up a plane to reinforce Algeria, or the three French infantry in North Africa could all start in Algeria. However, there may be unintended consequences to these moves, I haven’t completely thought it through.

As the intention is to have no bid (which I like as an idea), I think the board should still allow the UK to be able to secure 92 with what it has available - if it concentrates only on this move. The alternative of retreating into the Red Sea seems to give the Axis too much of the initiative, and attacking 97 is very dicey.

@Stucifer Ok. I have some explaining to do…
I had played this out locally, but I was lazy in my moves in the real game:

a) the sub that attacked the DD in SZ56 should have come from Carolines SZ34. That would allow the sub in SZ36 to go to SZ38. Edited.
b) I needed 4 CVs in SZ24. (3 from SZ34 and 1 from Philippines) . I only moved 3. I was lazy and moved all ships to SZ7 from Philippines. Edited
c) I need 2 more ftrs in SZ24. This caused a shuffle…2 ftrs from Caroline Islands -> SZ24
1 ftr moves from Szechwan to SZ20 vice 37. 1 tac moves from Carolines to Japan vice SZ37
So end up with 2ftrs + tac in Japan vice 3 ftrs.

Sorry…

@mikawagunichi Another complicated move…
scramble options?

You probably won’t do it, but Egypt intercept?
