Elche (+18) vs Gamerman01 (x) BM4 rematch


  • G gamerman01 referenced this topic on

  • I didnt saw the post first.
    But there is nothing to scramble in sz109 and 1 sub stays in sz 117. If you attack sz109 with the sub I will scramble from Scotland instead of sz111. Full scramble sz 110 please.
    Please check your file because of the attack to sz109


  • I’m sorry, 1 of those files didn’t have the sub going from 117 to 109. So as you said, I will scramble from Scotland to 109 and 3 fighters from England to 110


  • 110 and 111 are left -

    Need casualty choice for 110 -
    1 german sub hit battleship
    G1 combat.tsvg


  • 2 cruiser, 1 fre fig and 1 brit fig please


  • You got hot dice in 110 at least -
    111 I should ask for casualty choice in case I end up with subs against wounded battleship.

    3 hits, do you save wounded battleship or destroyer?


  • I save battleship please


  • Ouch, 3 for 3! Wasn’t sure whether to go for a 2nd round but thought while I was there…


  • At least play by e-mail works for my laptop - better than trying to roll a lot of dice on forum (a few isn’t bad).

    Anyway, G1 done, 3 German planes destroyed :(

    G1.tsvg

    I like the London scramble, it cost me 2 planes I think, and you still have 1 to go to 97 if you want, since you sent it to 109, a no-risk battle for the plane.


  • The fig in sz111 was nice.
    Looks interesting without Vichy and german Navy. Never had a planed non-Vichy game.
    Or will you attack with Italians ? If not I can use french ships and inf in Northafrika ?

    Combat Hit Differential Summary :

  • Interesting that you’ve never seen like this! I never try for Vichy, I want all ground units in Paris for G1 attack


  • I think you are right. French cannot do something that hurts.
    I hope for great defense in SF and in sz93 from famous french Navy.
    I am the victim from this tactic. Should have bought 6 inf in Russia.


  • This is my first year I play BM. I have finished 9 games. Is not much. You are first M I play against. The game against trulpen is running. Therefore I am sometimes not sure about the rules.


  • You really aren’t used to non-Vichy, are you? :) Yes you’ll enjoy some advantages - if you pound my fleet I’ll have trouble with French fleet.

    6 infantry in Russia? I think your buy was great!

    Working on J noncom move - trying to get some work done, too, though.


  • Ask me rules questions any time


  • Thanks.
    In my running game I attack in UK1 N/B with 2inf and 1 fig against 1 tank. I didnt conquer but if I did is non-Vichy game ?

    Yes, if you take Normandy with UK and Italy doesn’t take control back, it stops Vichy.
    If I really want to stop Vichy, I send a transport and/or fighter to South France on UK1. This is another reason I don’t try for it, is because I think it can be stopped fairly easily. Plus it gives Allies chance to control French territories that they normally couldn’t.


  • I will try in next games.
    In the running game I hoped for conquer with 1 inf and battlescore +3 and 6 difference in income. Maybe 1 causuality in def for G. But it was zero. But 1 G tank is more than 2 brit inf. Vichy I remark after the battle.


  • You’re right, that’s why I don’t hit Normandy with Germany either - exposes valuable units.

    I was lucky to sink your destroyer off 109, but then you were fortunate to sink my sub before you lost that transport! I’ve never seen anyone send a sub at 109, but with that destroyer bid and nowhere for that sub to go, I hoped to siphon off a plane from defending 110 or 111. You did the right thing, but if that plane from 111 was fighting, given the dice, it could have hit me an extra time and let that battleship get away. It was bonus that I got the destroyer. Might use this strategy again in the future.


  • Oops, re-reading I see it was hard to follow.

    You sunk my sub in 109 in first round or else your transport was sinking round 2.
    In 111 your battleship would have probably survived if your fighter had scrambled there.
    This is all after knowing what the dice did, of course. You made good decisions, especially to scramble from 110 which most players don’t want to do.
