@gamerman01:

Yes the transport lives because it has to get hit to sink.  Auto-sinking of transports only happens if you don’t retreat and all defensive units with combat value have been destroyed.

You probably know this, but just in case:
If you went another round and the bomber and fighter both hit, then the transport would still survive.  It still takes time and a military unit to sink a transport - they don’t sink themselves  :-)

[gamerman01]

No no no, I want it in Poland, not NWE.  Just saw that juicy target in Ukraine and I only have one fighter in range without this one.

[DarthMaximus]

No Prob on Poland.

Yeah, I knew that was the case, which is why it didn’t make sense on pressing the attack.  In all likely hood we both hit and your trn is still sitting there anyway.

I figured the trn survived, but wanted to make sure, since the ftr can’t stay in the sea zone, but when thinking about it (after I asked), technically the bomber has to retreat before you have to worry about landing the ftr so the tran always has the ftr cover.

@gamerman01:

@DarthMaximus:

Oh yeah, I forgot.  Landing spot for Ftr?

That battle reminded of Revised.  Sending UK air to kill the baltic ships.  Somewhat of a bigger pain in Revised when the pesky trans can fire back too.

Yeah.  Normally I have 2 fighters on there, but with one I guess it invites disaster.  But we both got our 2 hits.

Yeah, in this case one ftr is too tempting.  Might have been a different case if the UK had other targets that it needed to hit, but I was pretty clear in the Atlantic.  And 10 vs. 9 (3 units to 3) is pretty even and considering in most cases you’ll lose a ftr just taking out the ca alone, not much more of a risk IMO to risk another ftr for the AC.

[gamerman01]

Yep

Your Z6 destroyer took out a sub and the fighter on G1, leaving 5 vulnerable.  If your destroyer would have survived, I’d have even more problems.

FYI:

I’m going to be gone from July 10-17.  I probably won’t be doing turns on Fri night or Sat either.

So feel free to take your time.

I appreciate that.  For some reason have found it hard to make my way to A&A.org lately as much as before.  Mainly due to other games competing for my plentiful gaming time……  :-D  It’s tough, being gamerman  :wink:

[gamerman01]

I will be sure that it will be your turn when you return.

[gamerman01]

Whoa - 17th already.  I’ll get 'er posted tonight.

Other games have been hopping…  Ours is just getting warmed up.  Maybe Tuesday…

[gamerman01]

Gaa!  Sorry for the delay.  DD still hasn’t made a tournament move, so this one’s up.
