Ask me for Scramble orders in SZ 96. Also need to know your first round of attack dice before I can assign my hits. (You can wait to throw my defense dice, of course.)
Wait for France after Italy, please.
I said you could roll for research, not get the discoveries ;)
I take it you got long range, all air plus 1 movement for the US? Let me know if that has changes, I suspect next Larry will change the name of Infantry to Conscripts.
Wow, “Pants around the ankles” You want to slow Italy down a turn I see ;)

This game should be proof that Italy at its worst, is not a big deal if everything works out. I see this as an opportunity to demonstrate the in game decisions that can make up for the rules. To start, a coup takes out Mussolini, Italy is under new command. Regarding the new convoys: Thanks IL :evil: I suppose there will be days then only 1 out of 5 are successful.
Collection: oops, forgot to roll France’s disruption: We can thank Larry for this extra work.

Rolls: 1@3; Total Hits: 11@3: (3)
Perfect, I like a challenge, only one Convoy failed out of 6 I’m tempted to subtract 6 so I can test the concept of an Italian Phoenix ;)
12-5convoy=7
7+10saved=17
Collection: 17
I had a feeling the convoy was broken for the other way(needing twice the ships), looks like its broken both ways if you go high or low.
By the way, Anzac went out of turn…If you want to attack me in Tob, that is your option.
Fighters and Tactical Bombers move 5
Strategic Bombers move 6
under Long Range Aircraft Rules.
Sorry about ANZAC, it’ll be a change that’s for sure, but they cannot hit Tobruk from where they start in Egypt. Maybe Alexandria.
French Infantry to Scotland
2 French Infantry to Algeria
French Infantry to FCA
French Destroyer to SZ 39
French Infantry to Jordan
You could easily have taken less convoy damage than you did. Normally, you would have taken 3 dmg (2 destroyers, 1 aircraft carrier.)
Also, you took 1 dmg too many. Aircraft Carriers cannot do Convoy Damage. So add one IPC to Italy.
I did Italy right…dd is one roll, 2 fighters are 4 rolls and I placed a 0 under the number of rolls for AC, I only listed it to show I saw it.

Oh, yes, you are correct. I thought only Jets were 2 dice, but he does say any carrier based aircraft and submarines roll 2 dice each.
Australia (unless you undid it when you did Italy) and France are done.
Keep a fighter in SZ 97.
