1940.2 - Witt & PP Axis vs Colt & FMErwinRommel Allies (+25)

[Private-Panic]

So that hits your TB. Battle over.

But perhaps all of this is unfair and you should start the battle from scratch? That would waste my good luck in triple A though!

I don’t know! What do you want to do Colt?

[Colt45554]

Whoa dont you have a destroyer present he round your fig hits? Id kill another sub

[Colt45554]

And after your dd dies i submerge subs and retreat TB. Is that combo possible?

[Witt]

No. The Subs have to retreat from the battle as well as the Tac.

[Colt45554]

i stay until battle is resolved

[FMErwinRommel]

Correct Colt.  Italian DD means Brit sub can take the hit.  And the only purpose of the battle was to sink the dd.  So you would have retired from the battle regardless, once the DD was sunk.  Terrible dice, 5 Brit dice with attack of 11 all missed and sole defender hits twice.  3 subs miss on second round.  That’s 7 dice with attack of 14 and no hits.  Adam, would you really have scrambled knowing that the subs would take the hits and kill the dd, leaving your ftr to take a hit from the Brit TB?  I’d say be happy with your lucky Italian dice and forgot it.  But then, I’m biased and it’s not my call.

[Witt]

Good choice .
So is it Adam’s choice if casualty : DD or Ft?

[Witt]

I would havr  scrambled. And I would have had three Fts. I am the one insisting on the DD purchase every round.

[FMErwinRommel]

you only have 1 ftr in Italy

[FMErwinRommel]

If Italy takes dd as hit, then subs can no longer participate as they can’t hit the ftr, so they should be able to submerge and the TB retreat.  I tried to replicate the battle, but the Brits scored hits every time.  See no reason for Italy to take ftr as hit and leave DD with lower defense and that can still be hit by subs.

[Witt]

I meant I would have had three. I keep Italy fighting for its convoy, if it stilln has 8 to spend.

The rule is all retreat or none retreat. The subs cannot submerge. You need to stay and lose the Tac or win with it, then they are still in the SZ.

[FMErwinRommel]

Colt and Adam need to decide whether to redo the battle or whatever.

[Colt45554]

I said i wont retreat. He can keep doing the rolls if hes available

Oh Leo!

[Private-Panic]

Sorry! Quite right about your taking the sub instead. I would take my dd. So we have left 2 subs and a TB vs my fig. Subs no longer participate.

[Private-Panic]

Sorry Colt. That is the TB gone too. You were very unlucky.

I will look at Italy tomorrow and make the necessary edits.

[Private-Panic]

Leo - let me know anything you would like to insist I do! :roll:

I will then do my own thing as always. :-P

If anyone thinks of a fairer way to have done this then let us know.

Cannot think of a fairer way to do it but the tone if Colt’s post suggests he is no happy?
