PTV OwenToo vs max334 (Axis)

[OwenToo]

@max334 If you decide to attack the fleet, save the game after your first round, so I can pick the hits and name my OOL

[max334]

@owentoo I guess that’s the nice thing about being the attacker If the first round doesn’t go well you can always retreat.

[OwenToo]

@max334 That is very true, but if your dice go badly and the defender’s dice go well, you can’t retreat far enough to escape the inevitable counterattack.

[max334]

@owentoo nah that never happens to me The dice love me

[OwenToo]

@max334 :face_with_head_bandage:

[max334]

@owentoo I had a little difficulty with the set up. For some reason the AI wouldn’t let me land my sz35 planes. Shouldn’t they still have 2 moves left if they survive? 12 Jan 21.tsvg

[OwenToo]

@max334 The problem is you have 8 aircraft attacking and only 3 CVs within range to land them. So that is illegal.

[OwenToo]

You have already brought in 2 aircraft from elsewhere that must land on that CV in 35, therefore the planes from 35 must go somewhere else and not participate in the battle in 55

[max334]

@owentoo I have the carrier in Japan that can reach Caroline islands and pick up two planes that have two movements left

[OwenToo]

yes, but the CV in 35 must come closer to the battle or participate in the battle to receive the aircraft with 1 or 0 movement left. It should be able to do that in NCM. What is the program not allowing you to do?

[OwenToo]

I loaded the game, and it seems to work. Just click “Done” on the combat move. Scramble the 2 fighters in Queensland, and let 'er rip. OOL is damage all capital ships, then sub, CVs DDs, CAs, BB

[OwenToo]

o yeh, take tac and Fighters after the CAs, before the BB

[max334]

@owentoo just to be clear the ftr and tac from sz35 can land on the sz7 carrier and the sz35 carrier can pick up any other surviving planes?

[OwenToo]

@max334 Yes, it appears to be that way to me, as long as the SZ35 carrier can move during NCM

@max334 Yes, I obviously missed on my screen that there was carrier in SZ7 could assist in that attack, and even without that, I could easily and should have put up blockers. This will make it a lot tougher on the Allies, so we shall see how it goes.

[max334]

@owentoo Me personally, I would through in the towel at this point, but you might have thicker skin then I and probably much more experience so who knows. Besides you didnt reach that tier solely on your personality :)

[max334]

@owentoo pls let me replay J4. Since this is a non-league game could you put blockers up where you would have and could have put them. Makes it better for both of us

[OwenToo]

@max334 Well, I think my mind was preoccupied during the American turn with what was happening in the Atlantic. So, I sent some east, and the rest to 55. I obviously didn’t check very closely, like I usually do, and If I had checked I would have left the remaining fleet next to Hawaii, because I did not have a blocker that could have reached 56, the critical blocking zone. So, if you like, I will concede this version of the game to you, and if you want to redo your Japanese turn, just move my entire fleet from 55 to 27, and leave 55 empty. You can then redo your Japanese turn, and we can take the rest of the game from there. I do want to find out how the aftermath of SeaLion turns out.

[max334]

@max334 Yahoo…VICTORY…:person_doing_cartwheel: …thats my happy dance. Because its a non-league game gloating is allowed, otherwise no.
So great I’ll make the edits and redo J4
