Europe 1940 v2 FMerwinrommel v Colt 45

[Colt45554]

i didnt see your fast response. hopefully my ncm is ok with you

[Colt45554]

but if you arent attacking scotland then it doesn’t matter if you’re using original map

[FMErwinRommel]

The French can have Scotland.  I accept your edit.  Regarding my prior post about GER sub move to SZ119, I was just lamenting my choice of location.

[FMErwinRommel]

OOL:  GER 4 bombers & 1 TB > ALG SB, TB, FI.  Hopfully all will be hit first round.  BEL: 2 TK & 4 ME > 1 aa, 2 in, 1 ar.  We had agreed to default IN first, but Triplea has AA default if present, then IN.  I prefer AA removed first.  Do you agree?

[Colt45554]

post manual gamesave so i can see everything, please

[FMErwinRommel]

Deciding builds.  Took long time to decide how to attack BEL & W. UK.  Want to destroy most units but not take the territories.  Don’t want to take them and have RUS counterattack and destroy my tanks and mech.

need OOL for ALG:  UK took 2 hits.  Can’t find way to save game or post it mid-combat.

[Colt45554]

No, you’re good with the first post then you just tell me like you did. Best defense for both battles so take AAA first in Bel

[FMErwinRommel]

Oops, I meant to retreat after first round.  Will you permit me to edit?  I lost track after posting and receiving OOL.

[Colt45554]

go for it

[Colt45554]

include dice statistics this round if you dont mind

[FMErwinRommel]

My air die rolls have been terrible each turn.  NOV GER 5 dice 17 HP > RUS 3 dice 12 HP, 2 hits each; round 2: GER 3 dice 10 HP> RUS 1 die 4 HP, GER no hits RUS 1 hit.  Same for round 3.  I put 5 air against both NOV and ALG even tho NOV had more defense HP.  But ALG more important to destroy.

[FMErwinRommel]

Thanks, okay for dice stats

[Colt45554]

what’s HP? hit probability of some sort?

[FMErwinRommel]

hit points abbrev on the battle calc box
