14L Playoff R1 wheatbeer (Axis) vs Gamerman (Allies +22)

[boldfresh]

ooooooohhhhhhhh and here we go!  i love the playoffs.

[gamerman01]

The blistering G1 dice made this move difficult.

Need a scramble decision to 95

[gamerman01]

It only posted the combat move and not the purchase?  That’s strange

[wheatbeer]

I think it always does that with the UK, even on the final turn posts.

[boldfresh]

as i had hoped/expected, some very unsual situations are already developing in the major palyoff games!  A&A renaissance… with XDAP2 right around the corner!

@wheatbeer:

I think it always does that with the UK, even on the final turn posts.

another mistake to report to veq!

[wheatbeer]

Scratch that, it is in the final turn post.

It consistently doesn’t appear for a combat map post though.

[gamerman01]

Ah, never noticed that

[wheatbeer]

No scramble

nice move with SZ95 … works very well with the 2 subs

[gamerman01]

Thanks, that’s not why I did that bid, actually, but now seems the thing to do.
Now I need you to hit me once

[gamerman01]

With a non-submarine, that is.

Here’s the Italian subRolls: 1@1; Total Hits: 01@1: (4)

UK attackRolls: 2@2 1@3 2@3 2@4; Total Hits: 32@2: (2, 3)1@3: (4)2@3: (6, 6)2@4: (4, 3)

[gamerman01]

Sub hits sub, bombers hit surface ships, all ships sunk

Italian destroyer and cruiserRolls: 1@2 1@3; Total Hits: 11@2: (1)1@3: (5)

[gamerman01]

Whew, dice cooperated in 95.  I lost the fighter that came from Gibraltar.

[wheatbeer]

I wouldn’t have surfaced my submarine in this scenario since I am not scrambling and expected to lose anyways.

I didn’t initially notice that you sent your dd to SZ96 rather than SZ95 … but I would have expected the program to prompt you.

[wheatbeer]

(except that you did it manually, please excuse my mild idiocy, it’s been a long day  :lol:)

[wheatbeer]

If you want, you can swap a sub from the SZ95 attack with the dd from SZ96. Dice would be the same, and then my sub would die as well.

[wheatbeer]

Scratch that, dd can’t reach SZ95 … so the UK can’t force a surface.

Let me know how you want to resolve the surface/submerge issue.

Am I more obligated to say something before responding with scramble orders or are you more obligated to ask in this case?

In a FtF game responsibility would clear since I would have to remove the sub from the battle strip or roll for the sub myself. Whereas in tripleA matches, I am used to being asked.
