Here is the map with everything done except UK losses in sz92. night.

Stalingradski

Ok, on you go. I’m interested in how this move works out long term… the double impulse will be pretty effective in wiping out the Brit fleet.

I chose ulimately to lose the carrier and land the fighter/tac on Gibraltar. They can still scramble, but the two fighters already there can not.

France - combat

Clear SZ94

a SZ91 - I’ll do the combat all at once to save time… I’ll do 6 2’s (for my destroyer) and 6 1’s (for your sub) and we just match them up.

Stalingradski

Germany is up!

VanceStalT1FRAend.AAM

OK cool. I am a little confused by the rolling 6 dice for the cruiser & sub, but I guess its meant to reduce the quirkiness a bit and get the odds closer to 1/6 for the sub and 3/6 for the cruiser?

By the way, as a back up I was planning to go all out and hit sz92 this turn with planes from W Germany and land them in Algeria but the Italy suicide run worked out OK and I don’t want to trade expensive planes at this stage so now I’m not doing it. A destroyer left in sz94 would have prevented the Italy suicide attack. I’ll remember that one.

Anyway, Italy collects 14 IPCs (should have been 15 but I forgot Kenya). By the way, there seems to be a glitch with my battlemap because I can’t seem to change the IPCs on the chart in the upper left corner.

Germany buys 5 armor, 5 mech, 1 artillery, 1 sub, 1 destroyer (68IPCs).

Combat moves are…

Southern France
1 infantry, 1 artillery from Normandy; 2 mech from France; 1 bomber from S Italy (land in S Italy)

defender Dice Rolls: 2@2; Total Hits: 12@2: (3, 2)

sz110
cruiser, battlership, carrier, fighter, tac from 112. How many planes do you wish to scramble?

sz109
1 sub from sz112, 3 fighters, 3 tac from W Germany (all planes to land in Holland). How many planes do you wish to scramble?

Stalingradski

I scramble nothing, sir.

The 6@1 was just to make it quicker… in the little battles like that, it can last awhile, and you have to keep posting over and over sometimes… so, if you just do six (or whatever) at a time, you can compare the two lines, attacker and defender, and see who hit first. The results might look like this - destroyer offense vs. sub defense:

a 3,5,4,1,3,2
d 2,6,1,4,3,2

In this case, the defender’s sub got a 1 on the third roll, before the attacker got a hit. It just simulates the effects of a bunch of dice.

Game on!

Gotcha that makes sense. I think I mistakenly gave France an extra unit in the S France battle (we’ll call it the Resistance). I make a lot of mistakes. live and learn.

sz109

1 AA from Slovakia to Romania

3 transports from sz112 to sz110

Germany collects 42+5+5=52.
OK go Russia.

On a case by case basis, we should look at moments when mistakes are made, and we can correct them.

I’d rather play a good, and fair game, than win, so just check with me. In the example of S France, we could look at the rolls and adjust based on dice rolls, for example -

OK will do. On closer inspection it looks like the S france battle was in fact done correctly. I was just confused because I typo’d one of the rolls and did it again.

Stalingradski

And by the way, the title of this thread is misleading. You’re playing a solid game. Germany is burly.

To use the economic chart in the upper left corner, use the roundels of the country you want to add, and add them to the roundel beside the IPC value. Or, use the delete cursor to delete from the same place.

Russia purchases 9 infantry, artillery, armor.

NCMs on the map. Collects 36 IPCs.

Japan!

VanceStalT2RUSend.AAM

Thank Stalin! I think at this point I can handle things with my board set up in front of me but it will be a while before I could play with just Abattlemap. Nevertheless at least I now know how to change the IPCs so progress is being made.

J2…. a bad day to be Chinese.

Japan buys 1 naval base for Hainan, 3 armor, 2 infantry, 1 mech (40 IPCs).

Japan has to say Banzai every round, war or no war.

I’ll take a look at the map, and try to do the move tonight, but the chances are probably 20%.

This is a good one!
