Yep, you are exactly right. If you overkill the attack you end up with risking the battleship . I was trying to get 3 hits and then retreat. It doesn’t always work obviously, hehe. Thanks again for a great game. Very much appreciate quick turns :)
I’m also pretty sure it’s a no.
The rules say you can plan to win a sea battle (no matter what the odds are), but there’s nothing about planning to lose a battle or retreat from a battle.
Yes it was a very fun game. I made some blunders in Europe. I think I miscalculated and sent too many units to Russia. I did like your idea of having more transports for UK instead of USA. Definitely threw a wrench in my plans. Well played sir and good luck with your future games.
Also, if/win London is liberated, then UK Europe will collect the IPCs from Persia (unless an Axis power has taken it beforehand, of course)
This also works on the Pacific side. If Calcutta is captured and some UK Europe troops liberate West India, no one gets the IPCs until Calcutta is liberated.
I posted a synopsis in the league thread since Bold wanted a recap of the game. I obviously didn’t include everything since it was a very long game. Great game my friend, we will play again I’m sure. Next time we play as a group live your definitely invited. If you can’t make it in person perhaps we could setup a Skype session of something.
