Akreider2 (Axis) vs Wizmark (Allies + 12) BM3

[wizmark]

@akreider2 tac bombers can only bomb harbours and airfields they get a 1d6 with no extra points. Strat bombers can bomb everything and get a +2 to a 1d6.

yeah play around with your attack until you find what works for what you want to do

This is my second ever Sea Lion attempt. First was in the Europe 1940. Hmm, might be easier for the US to take it back in Global. I feel sad for the transports!

[wizmark]

@akreider2 nice rolling with the sbrs…really put the hurt on the UK :disappointed:

[akreider2]

Well expected damage of 11 (or 7.7 with an expected 1/3 chance of a AA hit), got 13. Lost a fighter on SZ109. Overall it looks like it evened out, maybe a 1 IPC gain for me.

When I was planning this strategy I thought I could use tactical bombers on the IC and was going to (80% probability) get 20 damage.

[akreider2]

I’m very liable to make a mistake. Just panicked when I thought Russia might be able to declare war on Germany and wipeout my transports. I’m still used to Revised where the distances were so much shorter. Fortunately Russia cannot declare war until Round 4 or I take the UK.

@akreider2 changed russian sub ncm

[akreider2]

Do people ever go super-aggressive with the Russia buy? I guess Germany still has an army lead and could use the UK money to invade Russia, so that probably tempers the buy.

[akreider2]

Hmm I maybe should have tried to set it up to have the ability to hit EPL and fake Sea Lion, but I was a bit stretched. Have you ever see anyone do this? Might be hard and once you spend 60-70 IPCs on transports, it’d be a shame to waste them.

[akreider2]

So if Japan declares war on France this doesn’t affect its relations with anyone else does it? But there is a 10 IPC national objective that I’d lose…
