15L Playoff Rd1: [4] JDOW (Axis) vs. [5] Adam514 (Allies +27)

[JDOW]

At least France was the only disaster in that round so we still have a game going!

[Adam514]

@JDOW:

Adam, you need to tell me what pact with the devil you made to get that insane AA fire against me.
I guess in our last game the hit ratio ended up being 30ish % after 20+ shots or so.

And now you start with a 66% ratio again, sigh :(

Haha I guess the devil wanted to remind me why I fear AA shots  :wink:. You had good success in your other battles though, ended up pretty even. By a stroke of luck I was on my email and I saw the AA shots come in and I was thinking: ‘‘uh oh’’ lol.

[JDOW]

Hey there,

I need to ask your for OOL.

3 hits round 1 in 97, one of them by the sub. I took the DD as casualty just to allow the other dice to roll.
However as there is no surprise strike you can of course choose the 3 casualties as you like.

In case the DD would survive I would probably decide to continue in the forum in round 2, let’s see, I will announce prior to any further dice how I am gonna continue.

Map attached

[Adam514]

3 hits are 2 on the carrier and 1 fighter.

If your sub dies you can continue the rolls in the map pretending the carrier is the destroyer, up to you.

[JDOW]

Alright, Ill roll the defense roll in tripleA first and then write how to continue

[JDOW]

I got lucky so far and you only scored one hit in defense.
So there is no need to roll in the forum. I either retreat or continue and in this case the AC equals the DD.

As I strafed Yugo I am now insecure what happens with the fighter in case I retreat. Can it land in Yugo? According to page 11 Europe rulebook it seems to me it can, however I am not sure.

[Adam514]

No your fighter can’t land in Yugo, it’s an enemy territory. The rules explain that you can land Axis planes in a neutral that has been already attacked by the Allies but not taken. Yugo is pro-Allies, so you can’t land.

[JDOW]

Adam, I was of course talking about the UK fighter in case I retreat from 97.

So can the UK fighter land in Yugo in that case?

[JDOW]

Well, I guess it is quite clear that it can, right?

[Adam514]

Lol oops, yeah it can, forgot it was still alive.

[Adam514]

It probably won’t though with triple a, you’ll have to edit it.
