L24 OOB Culann (X) vs. Martin (L+40)

[Culann]

I should have asked for casualty order for the battle off of Southern France. I figured you’d want the carrier and fighter over just a cruiser. I had two hits this gives you the most IPC.

Yeah, that’s a pity. I would not have chosen the carrier. Otherwise the planes were lost. And had I chosen the cruiser, it could not have returned fire, as it was hit by your sub.

There is no ideal fix. I propose that I edit you back the third Italian fighter. What do you say?

[Martin]

I guess you retreated the two Italian planes assuming/knowing that the UK fighter are lost

[Martin]

You know what? Let’s leave it as it is. I will edit back the cruiser.

@Martin

You sure, this was my mistake so I’m good with however you want to handle it. I’ll leave it with 2 fighters.

[Martin]

OK - just go ahead with the France turn I posted. Two Italian fighters left and the British Cruiser.

[Culann]

oob-41181-round-06-germany.tsvg

Scramble SZ 110. Not sure if it matters but don’t want to make another blunder.

[Martin]

@Culann you are right, it does not make a difference here, as fighters cannot hit subs w/o destroyers and not be hit by them.

I should have better built a destroyer in SZ110…

No scrambling, thank you

[Culann]

I did the battles, but my game got stuck maybe because I submerged after the carrier sunk. Going should I just re-roll it?

[Culann]

Rather should I re-roll it or just edit it in?

[Martin]

Please edit, and I can have a look after.

[Culann]

@Martin I figured it out! I’ll edit the results from the original roll. Didn’t realize I had to keep shooting at the transports until they were gone even though it should have auto-won it for me.

[Culann]

First time I’ve encounter this situation my bad.

Now that I’m thinking about it, I’ll just concede given I screwed up the last few turns in the spirit of fairness. I’m game to restart this game with the same bid should you be willing to play again. I promise not to make the same series of screw ups.

[Martin]

Oh, I just saw your message. I need to run and can write more, later. Germany is missing the boots on the ground to win against a financially strong Russia. And in total, the Allies are too strong economically for round 6.

Honestly, I do not see how the Axis can win at this stage. I would be willing to switch sides, same bid. Let me know how you spend the bid, and I can set-up the game later today. But we can also continue - you decide.

[Culann]

@Martin

I’m in agreement with your assessment. I’ll give the Axis another shot with the same bid. If you’re keen to play the Allies again.

[Martin]

Not at all - I can play the Axis this time :-) Will you post the result and let me know your bid spending?
