-
@farmboy need scramble orders for 109 and will likely need casualty choice for normandy
-
@farmboy also very annoyed that i put that sub in 108 and not 118. For some reason I thought it was more than 3 spaces away from the French.
-
It was a hard decision. I had a different good option, didn’t want it to go to 110 and disrupt the NO yet again
-
No way on the scramble
I don’t want to give this OOL in advance. I’ll be away from my computer for an hour or 2
-
@gamerman01 2 first round hits. My thinking that that is good enough to assume max d going forward and that you won’t want to conserve the AA.
-
@farmboy but I’ll wait. I’m off too.
-
Incorrect. If you kill everything but the AA, your units get sucked in to Normandy, and depending on the dice I might have just wanted that.
With 2 hits, take AA and French infantry.
Next would be French arty
-
Oh, I suppose you meant with 2 hits, that’s your thinking. Still, be careful to assume, I take unconventional casualties and do unconventional scrambles from time to time
-
@gamerman01 In this case because you don’t have a counter (unless you use allied air) I figured you wouldn’t want to draw me in. My goal was to take it. But my odds were around 94% so there was a possibility that you would win. And I thought you might be interested in conserving the AA if I was doing poorly.

Not a big deal here, just trying to avert future misunderstandings.
If you did poorly, and finally hit everything but 1 unit, I might have saved the AA and drew in remaining units
The mech would be farther from Russia, and the slow would be 2 spaces from West Germany and North Italy, and that could be a factor too. I generally don’t like giving advance OOL’s, especially when my opponent won’t have to wait long. Sometimes anticipating all the possible OOL’s in advance make my brain hurt and I shouldn’t have to do them - advance OOL’s are a courtesy to the playing player and don’t benefit the defender
-
Woohoo, I got 2 out of 5 hits AND your units are drawn in? Victory!! :joy:
-
-
@gamerman01 All sounds fine to me. And I get that an OOL in advance is a favour to the attacking player. I don’t mind waiting. In this case I wasn’t asking for OOL in advance, just letting you know that I might need it once i rolled. I was assuming though that if I had a decent roll, that it was safer to assume a max D situation. I’ll be sure to ask if I think there is any uncertainty, and if I make that assumption in the future and I get it wrong, I’ll defer to you in how we correct that.
-
I suppose one could play where they try to soften the allies in Normandy but avoid taking it to keep it French. But that hadn’t occurred to me at that point. I just wanted to take it, avoid using air, and was annoyed that I didn’t have one more land unit in range.

I generally don’t like the idea of keeping Normandy blue. It lets the USA land air there immediately, and it does have a naval base. You can usually keep the US from holding it for a turn anyway. Furthermore, US can collect 5 while only taking Holland or South France if Normandy is French. And then there’s whatever allied units are there… And then, obviously, the 2 IPC’s per turn. That’s a lotta negatives
