@corriganbp:

General Combat Sequence
1. Place units along the battle strip
2. Submarine surprise strike or submerge
(sea battles only)
3. Attacking units fire
4. Defending units fire
5. Remove defender’s casualties
6. Press attack or retreat
7. Conclude combat

Yeah I know there’s this ERROR in the book, check the DETAILED reference, really. Page 18, step3.

[corriganbp]

finally

[Noll]

also there’s not error… you REMOVE after defending, but you allocate hits before rolling, really!

[corriganbp]

very aggressive attacks this turn

[Noll]

India loses everything

(yeah Taranto was hard, a 45%, worth doing it though)

[Noll]

NCM as map

mobilize:

7inf 1rtl London
7inf Calcutta

London collects 28+5 = 33
Calcutta collects 25+5 = 30

[Noll]

oh I forgot to add 6IPCs to china for the Burma road NO.

I’ll add them during Anzac’s turn.

[corriganbp]

I need to get some sleep.  Good game so far.

[Noll]

me too but please let me do anzac before sleeping :)
Let’s just finish round2!

Italy won’t do much anyway this turn

[Noll]

well, since it won’t affect Italy, during Anzac#2 I will attack sz36 with 1dd and 3fighters.

I’ll roll now the attack so you will assign the casualities.

(PS: I noticed the french dd is not in sz58 but I’m sure I’ve moved it there…… like I do in every game I play…)

[Noll]

anzac’s attack on Japanese Imperial Navy

Ok, see you tomorrow, thanks for the amazing game. Please choose Japan’s navy casuality before rolling the Anzac’s slaughter :)

[corriganbp]

that is a dmgd bship, not a dmg AC by the way

[corriganbp]

you have a 0% chance according to my odds calculator

[corriganbp]

dmg AC, dmg 2nd AC, tac, tac

Now if things go really crazy, I might consider sinking an AC, but I should not have to make that decision unless things go really crazy.

And by the way, it is unfair for you to ask me for OOL before declaring your combat - if you suspect that you can force me into a sleep depraved mistake, then you should be committed to the attack.

I won’t make other anzac attacks, ok here’s Anzac:

IPCs: 10
builds: 3inf (saves 1)

Combat moves: 1dd 3fig from JAVA and sz42 to sz36.

As I already rolled the first batch of attack, you took 3hits not 4, so it will be CV* CV* tac bmb.

Japanese counterattack:
2cv 2tac 2fig 1bb*
Rolls: 2@2 2@3 3@4; Total Hits: 32@2: (2, 4)2@3: (6, 3)3@4: (5, 1, 5)

[Noll]

Now if I can have my french ddin sz58 like I planned, I will continue the battle, otherwise I will retire to sz37 with a surviving DD, loosing 3 fighters.

In the scenario you let me have my dd in sz58, the fig attacks for another round

Rolls: 1@3; Total Hits: 01@3: (6)
