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

[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:

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)

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.

[gamerman01]

My bad - never occurred to me.

Well, I did ask if you would scramble to 95, so yeah you probably should have responded what your sub was doing, too.

Just put the sub back, and play on.  Would have responded sooner, but site issues
