@simon33

Just checking in - Anzac/France is up.

@aequitas-et-veritas

Oops, just double-checked the rules, and see the 3-plane maximum on carrier scrambles. So no scramble here. I might not have brought the DD in had I realized that earlier!

@aequitas-et-veritas

OK, I see it now.

Yes, scramble 6 fighters to SZ24.
Max Defense (lose DD first)

@simon33 said in 2025 OOB Playoff round 1 Simon33(L+40) vs Booper:

Sorry about the delay in this turn, I found it exceedingly difficult.

A couple of minor changes to USA NCMs there.

No problem. Yes, definitely a very complicated position!

@aequitas-et-veritas

This one we can just go max D.
Kill 3 AA, 2 bombers, and then 11 inf.

Take logical casualties from here on based on cost and defensive value.

Thx!

@Jacob16

OK, we did indeed get 3 hits. 2 from the subs, which I took to tip the BB and kill the Italian sub.

Where would you like to take the 3rd hit, on the Cruiser or DD?

At this point, your sub has already shot and missed, so I’ll have a minimum of 1 sub left, as your have 3 return shots remaining.

Thx!

Great!

I think you will have to choose your casualties before seeing how many hits back you make. I think the 3 hits scenario is where the decision points come in:

1 hit - tip BB
2 hits - tip BB, kill sub
3 hits - add DD or CA to kills?
4 hits - DD + CA, or CA + BB?
