A bummer to sacrifice some units to prevent USA from owning Korea only to have them fail. At least I should get India on schedule but I think this is a major setback.

[mainah]

@simon33
I was quite pleased how that panned out. And yes… you are getting india on YOUR schedule…:grin:

@mainah
Hope my cheekyness came accross. Your definately getting India ahead of my schedule.

Hope my cheekyness came accross. Your definately getting India ahead of my schedule.

Was actually wondering if you thought a J3 take down of India was more preferable. I think it is possible but may not be worthwhile. If you go mostly overland, J5 is the correct turn. I get upset if I can’t do this.

You’re getting Libya as well? Good thing I didn’t take Tunisia, which I thought about I3.

Now back to the question at hand, I’m going to say no scramble. I expect you will get everything round 1 but if not, preserve the DD until last.

The UK CV has to move to SZ97 to catch the fighter. You can’t intentionally splash it.

[simon33]

I suggest loading the AfterBritishNonCombatMove autosave.

[simon33]

Eur rules, p22:
“• You must have a carrier move, remain in place, or
be mobilized (new carriers only) to pick up a fighter
or tactical bomber that would end its noncombat
movement in a sea zone. You can’t deliberately move
an air unit out of range of a potential safe landing
space.”

[mainah]

@simon33
My understanding of the rules was that you have to be able to provide a landing zone during CM, but you do not have to use it.

Bummer. I re-read the book, and you are correct sir. And in either case, your GD italians were supposed to be better shots.

Bear with me - new NCM to be posted.

I couldn’t find an autosave, so I edited. Please double check but should be good.

The average casualties on the battle calc for the allies was 3.5. First time all game I was actually mad for getting considerably better than average
