Scramble to z32 or Marshall?

@artofwar1947 said in L21 #2 ArtofWar1947 (AX+12) vs. Trulpen (AL) PTV:

@trulpen

Scramble 3 fighters of SZ32.

Scramble to Marshall Islands from CVs not allowed as there are no Japanese land units of them. If wrong, will reconsider.

Interesting. As the notes say, particularly with carrier-scramble it needs land-units in defence. As opposed to land-scramble from an airbase.

I’ll check the rules here in the forum to confirm.

That’s what it says, so I guess we have to use it.

Casualties, since it’s first-strike?

Dmg bs is evident, but the second hit is not completely obvious.

I’ll dmg a carrier meanwhile.

@artofwar1947

It’s generally a good idea to give your opponent a chance to respond before starting a battle.

Sink all sea vessels, except damaged BB.

Sorry, I think I wrote Marshall, but meant Wake. Asked about scramble to z32 and awaited your response.

I’ll change the battle-setup, although it’s a bit cumbersome. I’ll have to restart the battle with 3 less figs. I’ll therefore run a new battle for the defence-dice, so they’re correct and I won’t have to adjust dice afterwards.

That means that another attack-roll will be made, but those dice will be disregarded.
