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

[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.

[JDOW]

I decided to continue the battle, did not want that Fighter to kill any precious German ground units.

Hey there,

just to let you know. I plan to put a German sub to 101 in my NCM. I assume now DOW to USA is required for that. Could not find anything in the rules.

In case a DOW is required I will reconsider and DOW on USA and will edit afterwards.

No worries. As long as dice haven’t been rolled I’m fine with any similar edit, and I will most likely catch an edit since I usually refresh the page before making my combat moves.
