@max334 said in PtV Nikola1975 (axis+6) vs Max334:
@nikola1975 You brought 2 subs to the battle, but only hits from my DD can be assigned to your subs. Any hits from scrambling planes can only be assigned to your planes unless you bring your own DD to the battle. I think thats the rule…Is that your understanding as well?
No, the hits from scrambling planes can be assigned to the attacking subs because the defender has a destroyer. Whether the attacker has a destroyer does not matter as to whether defending planes can hit attacking subs.
-
@gamerman01 thank you, understood, but it just didn’t seem quite right for the attacker to be able to use the defenders destroyer to his advantage. If it was a cruiser instead of a destroyer then subs could not be taken as casualties from ftr hits; is that correct?
-
@gamerman01 Can the attacker assign hits to his subs in this situation: Attacker attacks with 2 subs, a DD and 4 ftrs; defender defends with a cruised and 3 ftrs
-
Again, here is the rule:
Can’t Be Hit by Air Units: When attacking or defending, hits scored by air units can’t be assigned to submarines unless
there is a destroyer that is friendly to the air units in the battle Page 33 from Europe rule book. Allies dd are not friendly to axis.
The DD has to be friendly, if its hostile, then subs can not be taken as casualties. -

Yes. And yes, defending destroyers can work to the attacker’s advantage

NO, the defender can’t “see” the subs, and all the subs can do is attack the cruiser. Maximum number of hits have to be taken (defender can’t say the attacking fighters hit the cruiser if the subs score at least 1 hit)

The DD has to be friendly, if its hostile, then subs can not be taken as casualties.The DD is friendly to the defending planes. That’s what that means.

Those 3 trns in sz20 are within range of my bomber. How would you like to protect them
-
@max334 I miscounted. Don’t worry, go on, mistakes are part of the game
-
Mistakes are part of the game, but I dont like taking advantage of an obvious oversight like that. You’ve allowed me to make numerous after the fact corrections and I’d like you to do the same. May I move one of your DD’s from sz6 to sz20.

@nikola1975 Ok, thanks. Please do so.

look carefully at this Nikola. You can scramble to the Marshall Islands, but also think about the sz33 battle. Remember that depending on how the dice go, I have the option of withdrawing and you can not land on damaged carriers and I I’m also trying to take away other possible landing spots.
-
@max334 I am not sure how I keep missing some units in the Pacific and this is now again 83% battle in favour of Americans. I am counting something wrong… It seemed Japan had an initiative which I am losing round by round.
In any case, don’t scramble, we need all planes in the naval battle. When killing units in defense, pick casualties the same way you would do for yourself, ie. leaving planes place to land. You would probably kill one carrier in the round 1, but leave other intact for example.
-
@nikola1975 8 hits Nikola. Sorry I really cant assign the hits for you. Its not an obvious kind of thing and I dont know what I’m going to do until after
-
@nikola1975 as far as losing initiative Nicola I just wanted to say that that’s the way the game is set up axes have the initial advantage and strength and numbers but the Allies have the industrial advantage or money advantage. And you are right each round the axis loses initiative and if they don’t make enough significant gains they lose out to the Allies whose advantage is time
-
@max334 Yes, exactly. It’s race against time for Axis. Italy seems to play very important role in PtV, because Soviets are too strong for Germans to do anything in first 6-7 rounds. If Italians can gain advantage in Mediterannean, it can work out nice for Axis, otherwise it is very hard. Do you have the same experience?
damage Battleship
kill carrier
kill sub
kill 2 destroyers
kill 2 tacticals -
another 8 hits. How do you want to assign them. You had 6 hits. I sank 2 carriers and damaged my BB and 1 carrier,
-
@nikola1975 to tell you the truth I dont pay much attention to those kind of things. My strategy for the Allies is to make everything as hard as possible for the Allies and also to become a real pain in the but by throwing as many wrenches in what I think their plans might be
