@beelee ok. I’ll do that. Thanks. that’s actually a great ideal.

@johnnycat Looks like you are conducting winter training exercises in Finland. Fine duty for people of the Fatherland. Just a peaceful R1 turn from the Communists

scramble to the bottom of the ocean? I would assume no but I guess I gotta ask right?
-
you should post the save too so he can see what other attacks, if any, you did.
Probably doesn't matter in this case but sometimes it will
Edit
Remember to take Transports as casualties last. That is Player Enforced -
@beelee yes of course. Actually I took a photo of the map but the file was too large
Now I’m driving
-
oh ? The picture showed up for me but yea don't respond while driving
Especially if on the I 5 Battlezone -
@beelee No scramble- playing you is a lot of fun. Your strategies are all new to me. Panzer is a player similar to you in that way. Always springing surprises on me!!
-
@trout surprise? Dude I think I’m doing the only thing possible.
These opening moves seem similar to chess. In chess One either pushes the kings pawn two squares or the queen pawn.
Anything else is in the 1 percent. And Japan 1 seems like very little options. I guess I should study more games.
-
Standard Jap Turn 1 as far as I can tell. Although I recall you did not bother with the Philippines , hmmm. Hope I am not sticking my neck out too far with that move.

@johnnycat Getting Philippines cheaply before I can fortify or destroy the naval and air bases is the biggest advantage of doing it. People that don’t do J1 attack normally focus on fighting China in the beginning. Unless your name is Panzer, he does his own thing and somehow still wins a lot of games
-
@johnnycat Unfortunately, I don't know how to do the cool screenshots but need scramble instructions for SZ 97 and for SZ 111, would you like your U-Boat to submerge or fight?
-
@trout I dont get it. I thought Uboats dont have SAMs. What am I Missing?
-
@trout so why would they "fight". I saw that in the AI while playing the computer and figured that was a bug.
-
@johnnycat Well, the U-Boat can submerge and survive since no destroyer. Since it's just a fighter and Batt against your U-Boat and damaged Batt, I could see where the U-Boat could help sink my Batt but he only hits with a 1 on defense so odds not in your favor. I would probably submerge but I don't think it's a horrible thing to fight. For example, let's say I roll average and get 1 hit, you roll average and get 1 hit. For losses, I have a damaged Batt and you lose the U-Boat. Then on round 2, I get a hit and so do you. In that situation, we both lose our Batts on round 2 and that would not have happened without the U-Boat. OR you can just kill my Batt easily on G2 by having a U-Boat wolfpack finish him off on that turn.
Anyhow, 9.5 times out of 10, a sub would submerge and survive but I could see where you would choose to have him participate. Your choice sir
-
@trout OK the sub in 111 stays - maybe we'll get lucky
-
@johnnycat Got it and for SZ 97, scramble or no scramble. How would Italy like their eggs?
-
@trout Oh My - I did not even consider all that. OK all the planes that can fly out to destroy you... mooohahaha

You successfully fought off the Taranto Raid and in doing so killed the majority of the RAF. The U-Boat not submerging didn't pay off but killing the RAF hurts Mr. Churchill badly. Will need to munch about 100 additional cigars to help salve the pain of that. Speaking of Italy, Mafia up

DAMMIT
So what does one do when the darn pieces don't do what I thought? I tried to take Malta and only 1 of the 4 guys landed... I pressed shift and only 1 tank landed and not all 4 attackers. I guess I missed it?
Anyway check it out? Maybe Master @beelee could give us some advice on this one?
1769228692655-85638cae-d5d7-4106-8abe-3f6258312070-exp-game-2-jc-I1.tsvg
EDIT
I figured out what to do from the axis allies group here in San Jose.
They said to “just do what you would do if playing the board game!”
Which makes sense.
So they say to just finish the intended battle before closing the turn.So we save the one tank destroyed by your guy but have to roll the other tank and 2 inf.
Other things to consider are you might have even scored another hit so we have to check that. And does the BB get to do that barrage thing or probably not cause there was a fleet battle?
Anyway, I just don’t know how to do this extra roll stuff.
How you think ?
-
These small TTys can be easy to miss sometimes as the Units will overflow into the SZ. There's a couple ways to do it but you being on a mac it might do it different as Idk what shift does.
On linux I click on an empty space in the TTy or SZ and it will list my Units.
You then select the ones you want to move and move them to the TTy.
Or you can manually click on each unit and then move them to the TTy.
Anyway your Tank missed and UK got 2 hits. Since I'm a neutral party, I will roll it out with the Dice Roller. If your opponent should not agree for some reason, then you would want to use Dicebot.
Seeing how this is a Gentleman's game, I will use the dice roller.
So we need to roll for 2 Inf and 1 Tank that didn't land. The first 2 dice are for the Inf.
1 Tank gets a hit. So UK takes the AA Gun as casualty and the 2 Italian Inf are killed for the 2 hits that UK got.
That leaves 2 Tanks against a Inf and a Ftr The first two dice are the Tanks then Inf Ftr
So 1 Tank gets a hit and the Inf and Ftr miss leaving 2 tanks against 1 Ftr
Both Tanks hit and the Ftr misses again. Italy takes Malta with 2 Tanks.
At start of NCM use edit to remove the UK Units and change Ownership to Malta. Add 2 Tanks to Malta. Remove the unlanded Units and Trprts, otherwise triplea won't let you remove them and then add the 2 Trprts back in.
