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)

[wheatbeer]

Soviets lose 6 inf
Germans lose 4 inf

round 2

A 6 inf, 3 art, 1 fig, 1 tact, 2 strat =
3@1 6@2 1@3 3@4 = 30 = 5r0

no remainder

D 1 inf, 1 art, 1 tact, 2 fig =
2@2 1@3 2@4 = 15 = 2r3

Rolls: 1@3; Total Hits: 11@3: (2)

[wheatbeer]

Baltic cleared

Germans survive with 3 inf, 3 art, 1 fig, 1 tact, 2 strat

This means I need to use EDIT to add 1 inf, 1 fig, 1 tact back to the board.
