Good Morning
so a few things. For the battle in 98 you roll for the NMs first and remove any hits before combat takes place.
I found the die rolls in my email. I almost never look at those. It's easier for your opponent to follow what's happening by posting a screenshot of the rolls.
So 3 NMs hit. Subs can't be hit by NMs, so the CV and DD are sunk. You got 1 Sub hit, so I would have taken a hit on a U-boat.
All 4 U-boats hit, so both Subs would be sunk, leaving 3 U-boats and the Escrt.
Here it is step by step.
You need to use edit if there are any NM hits. Since you only have 1 battle, triplea immediately goes to it which doesn't allow you to turn on edit.
A few ways to allow for this, roll for NMs and remove hits and units at end of CM. This means you have to undo your CM, edit any hits and redo your move. Not recommended.
Roll for NMs and if no hits, just go to battle phase normally. If there are hits, turn on edit and then go to battle. Also not recommended, as you have to fight the entire battle in edit then.
Preferred way or how I'd do it, create a dummy battle so there is more than 1 battle. Then you can turn edit on at beginning of battle.
Can add a solo Inf or use an existing unit and replace after battle phase.In this case I sent a Mech to Tobruck.
Now end CM and go to battle. Turn on Edit and roll for all 6 NMs.
and post a shot for your opponent. Obviously, these weren't your rolls but 3 NMs did hit in your battle. So 2 hits CV and 1 on DD as Subs can't be hit by NMs.
Remove the Ships and NMs, turn off edit and start the battle. Actually, go ahead and remove the Mech from the dummy battle and replace him too.
Then turn off edit and fight normally.
Since you no longer have a DD, you can't prevent the U-boat First Strike. In this example there are 3 hits, there was 4 in your battle, so both Subs are sunk before they can fire.
So, if you want to cancel your attack, that is fine with me. If you would've attacked anyway, well, as you can see, it's not a good result
The other thing, is when you use the Air Trprt, click on A Trprt and then click on the unit you want to move. You don't need to use edit.
If you don't want to transport anything, hit cancel and he will then fly empty. Remember, movement is PlayerEnforced.Obviously you undid the move, so you didn't move it anyway, just a heads up on how they work.
So this is what 98 should look like
You only had the one combat, so with the new information on how NMs work, you can redo your UK turn if you want or I'll make the adjustment to 98.
Edit
Just saw your video
You were close, almost had it right

@beelee I'm going to need help with this. I am not sure how to solve the 98 problem and my cpu is pretty occupied with other things in life. I'm assuming the minefield is across the Suez. What would you do? Go the other way. I took 7 casualties in that round. Seems unbreakable. Please advise.

Good Morning
Yes it's a tough battle problem. As you can see, you are able to place in 98 to avoid the NMs but you can only place 3 a turn.
That makes them susceptible to a counterattack. Your Sub is safe, as there is no DD but the Escrts are probably sunk. They might get lucky and take a Ftr with them.An AB where you can scramble to help defend 98 placements and sending Escorts up from S AF to sweep the NMs or attempt to, would be the best bet to break through.
That takes a lot of resources and time though. The AB, which can be upgraded to scramble 4, the Fctry can't be upgraded to build 4, would probably be your best bet. If you can survive with 1 surface ship, Italy can't place anymore NMs until the SZ is clear. Subs don't stop them.
So, basically you're in an Arms Race then with Italy and the Reich can produce out of S FRA as well. If Germany sends Air with it's U-boats, it's gonna be that much harder.
It will take power away from USSR, although the Air can still hit it.
It's hard to break through once they get established, the Naval Mines. 92/91 and 113/112 are the other chokepoints.
At any rate, Idk. It's up to you if you wanna invest that much into trying to break into the Med but I think your attack was ill advised last turn and I wouldn't have launched it.
It does prevent him from sewing anymore NMs this turn though, unless Italy just sends all Air at the Escorts. Which is a gamble but something they could consider.
You need some Escorts in 81 to go in and sweep as mentioned earlier, so, yea
Idk what to say It will take a combined effort and won't be cheap or easy.Something else to consider, is you can run the gauntlet so to speak, if you have a fairly sizable Force in 81. Not all Mines are gonna hit and they might all miss too. Once you get Ships in 81 and can hold it, you'll have succeeded.
Edit
Something else you can do, is use Air and Subs to take out his Escrts. Forces him to keep buying more of them then.Sometimes you just have to concede the Med or as you say, keep hitting GIB but it's hard to pry them off the Rock as well. And they'll start mining 92 if threatened.
It all takes resources away from SSR though, so there is that. Just depends if you think it's worth it or if your money would be more effective spent elsewhere

Thanks for letting me have a do-over.

Good Evening
a late one at this point. Just watched my hockey team get destroyed lol
Interesting move to kill JPN's last Trprt. DDs can still transport but just dudes. I can see why you'd do it though.
Actually happy you didn't attack my Fleet
Pacific has sent a lot of ships to the bottom of the Ocean this game

Can you give me a unit count in the AG and tell me whether the AG can attack Moscow next turn? Movement 2?

Good Afternoon
There are 18 total units in AG Center. They are led by 1st SS Panzer. 1st Panzer and 1st and 2nd Waffen Armies comprise the rest of it. They can all move 2 but 1st and 2nd Waffen can't blitz.
Don't forget to deactivate the Commisar in stalingrad if you decide to attack with him.
You also need to decide whether to destroy the Fctry in Ukraine.
