Are you interested in either:

A. Returning Yunnan to the original result and using that LL reroll on SZ96 instead.

OR

B. Editing the map to reflect having cleared SZ96 with the loss of only the UK’s sub but giving the Axis a second LL reroll option.

I don’t know why the dice gods hate you when we play.

Ha, I know!  :lol:

You are too generous.  Generally I’d just take the lumps but Italy with an extra transport this early is pretty tough for the UK, especially since I am going got the IC in Egypt.

Hmmmm  … I’ll go for extra LL.  You are too kind.  But then you do get 2 LL’s when I had to spend mine to fix dumb battles…  :lol:

Using 1 of the 2 Axis LL on Baltic States.

Nice aa shooting by Soviets in the original.

[wheatbeer]

aa fire

6@1 = 1 hit, Germans lose tactical bomber

A 16 inf, 3 art, 1 fig, 1 tact, 2 strat =
13@1 6@2 1@3 3@4 = 40 = 6r4

Rolls: 1@4; Total Hits: 11@4: (4)

D 2 aa, 12 inf, 1 art, 1 tact, 2 fig =
13@2 1@3 2@4 = 37 = 6r1

Rolls: 1@1; Total Hits: 01@1: (4)

[wheatbeer]

Just to be sure (since retreat is a possibility) do you want max defense?

I didn’t bother waiting for OOL in the original roll since the aa went so bad and I figured it’d be a LL anyways.

[Karl7]

max defense yes

[Karl7]

well, hold on, what did you buy?

probably wont make any difference

[wheatbeer]

Bought:
4 inf
10 mech
1 transport
1 sub
1 dd
1 carrier
1 minor IC

Only other combat was SZ111, attacked with 3 planes from Holland and cleared without loss.

Have a map with NCM in progress (with the original result, which was terrible aside from the aa hits)

[Karl7]

yes, then on max defense

[wheatbeer]

Soviets lose 2 aa, 5 inf
Germans lose 6 inf

round 2

A 10 inf, 3 art, 1 fig, 1 tact, 2 strat =
7@1 6@2 1@3 3@4 = 34 = 5r4

Rolls: 1@4; Total Hits: 11@4: (2)

D 7 inf, 1 art, 1 tact, 2 fig =
8@2 1@3 2@4 = 27 = 4r3

Rolls: 1@3; Total Hits: 01@3: (4)
