Scramble from Gibraltar to 92?

I3 scramble.tsvg

[gamerman01]

I didn’t do it in Triple A, but I want to move ships through both 93 and 94 to establish retreat zones

[aequitas-et-veritas]

Full scramble please.
Thank you

[gamerman01]

OK, will roll now - might need casualty choices thx

[gamerman01]

1 sub hit, please choose casualty

I rolled the rest (and shouldn’t have because you have no destroyer) so please make your casualty choice without looking at dice e-mail, thanks

[gamerman01]

Eh, surely you take a hit to the carrier so that all 3 boats can fight back

My other naval and air scored 4 hits, 5 with the sub hit included.

Your casualty choices?

[aequitas-et-veritas]

Sink all Naval Vessels and the TacB please.

Thank you

[gamerman01]

And thank you for the timely reply - proceeding then

That went bad for France.
Thought that I at least score one or two hits.

[gamerman01]

And after I was lucky winning 92 with 4 units - oof

[gamerman01]

I unknowingly triggered Vichy on F3 and you can grab 5 territories that have income?? I hate those Vichy rules. :D

[gamerman01]

Did you move out of South France on F2 to try to trigger Vichy? If not, will you allow me to take South France with Italy on I3 to stop Vichy?

Please feel free to deny.

[aequitas-et-veritas]

@gamerman01 will be back this weekend in Germany and should be able to give you a clear answer to that.

[gamerman01]

Don’t worry at all, I am not in a hurry
All the best -

Hi gamerman, i moved out willingly to trigger Vichy rule and force you to take action.

I would be ok with Italy taking S.Fra.
Nevertheless you realized it, even though i was hoping to get Vichy.
Feel free to edit.

[gamerman01]

Thanks Aequitas, but I won’t edit because you did move that way because you were aware of Vichy.

I was saving South France for Germany, and on G3 I wanted all 3 men to attack Normandy. I didn’t take South France I3 to save it for Germany, and I was totally blind-sided by Vichy.

I only realized it when looking at G4, therefore it’s my problem because I missed it. As you know, that’s a big part of A&A - seeing something your opponent doesn’t.

It would not be right for me to take that away from you - well played!

[gamerman01]

Besides, you do have to go out of your way to take 4 of those territories, so you get +5 a turn but I get a bit of pressure taken off if you claim them.

[gamerman01]

We’ve got a great game going - hopefully we can both play regularly soon. I need to move my G4…

[aequitas-et-veritas]

Being back to Germany is hard.
Jetlag, the temprature swing and a tuff Opponent making it hard for me right now 🤔😉

But i am back on track.
