i will move tomorrow afternoon norway time, I will probably keep the fighter as you indicated
L23 BM4 Gamerman (Allies+10) vs Roboto (Axis)
-
2 hits with my 3 planes
-
OK, normally no one rolls their defense dice but it doesn’t bother me.
Triple A is wrong to require casualty choices right now, so I reserve the right to change choice after the ships roll, because that is when the rules require it.
-
Take both hits to carrier but depending on the other 2 dice I can completely “change” my casualty choice. So go ahead and roll the next
-
Well, there’s no need to wait for you on this step, I can roll your 2 ships on forum so that I can make my casualty choice and roll round 2. First I’ll see what you took off…
-
My casualty choice does end up being the carrier, then your ships got the expected 1 hit, and I took off the destroyer.
Sub hit and sunk the battleship, then I scored 1 hit with the rest, and you scored 2/2.
I can’t take the sub off, so I lose cruiser tac.
Sub sinks transport, I score 1 hit, and your plane hits me back yet again. I lose bomber, so UK wins with the sub and a fighter.
We should both be satisfied (although not happy) one of the most decisive battles in G40 went close to average.
Now what will happen with the risky 111 battle?
-
A complete whiff by all in the first round!
Do over.
-
I got lucky. Very lucky.
OK, noncom and it will be your turn again.
-
Big hit by the destroyer in 96, but Allied player just gotta be happy they’re sunk when attacking with only 2 units
-
Tough combination of no buy G1 and 10 bid. Have to keep a plane or two at London and don’t have a sub in 91. That 77% 97 could have killed and so could 96 or Ethiopia, where I took the 4.
I needed to get rid of that battleship so had a reason for 2 planes to stay home anyway, but had little choice but to go 95% on 96 and 77% on 97 and I got away with it. This time.
I’m glad you didn’t go for 91 on G1 (I’m not saying you’re wrong) because without that cruiser I really couldn’t hit 97, I would have gone 99.9% at 96 instead. But I always hit 97, I don’t know how to defend Egypt if I don’t (without Indian planes), and letting 96 go is also not a good option.
I don’t know. I’ve lost a couple of games badly because of losing Egypt early. I gotta learn it’s about as important as Russia or India. Allies need to hold all 3 to be comfortable
-
I couldn’t figure out from the balanced mod rules whether “land unit” includes AAA for South France Vichy rules. Didn’t matter because I want the infantry and AA to stay on Malta in this situation.
They specify land unit does not include AAA for China purposes, but not elsewhere in their rules. The rulebook says land units definitely include AAA. I can’t remember if BM counts AAA for NO’s on North Africa, Sardinia etc
-
Wow, that 111 battle is a setback.
-
Yes, I realize it’s a big deal for clearing the way for 106 transports in the event of a foolhardy German 14 transport buy
-
I gotta sweat about 9 German planes. I usually scramble 110 so am used to 7 or less
-
I have 10

I am not feeling very comfortable this game, tbh.
-
Actually you only have 8, I was wrong.
111 and 97 you lost planes
-
I count 8 planes and 2 bombers. Are bombers not planes?
-
Ah
That can go either way.
You’re right, planes is short for airplanes and bombers are airplanes. Some of us just mean fighters/tacs though -
