  • @FlyingBadger

  • @zarhunter said in L24 BM FlyingBadger (Axis) vs Zarhunter (Allies+15) #5:

    Scramble?

    Yes, all 3.
    Let me choose the Italian casualties please, I may make different decisions depending on how the dice land.


    another pacific fleet pathing error, I lose more games that way and I just cant seem to fix that oversight.

    It can be difficult to anticipate all the possible air units which can be brought into an attack when there are lots of islands and carriers around as potential landing spots. I’ve lost many a USN fleet in the Pacific because I failed to account fully for all the Japanese air units. You can always use a Local Game, to skip through to the opponeents turn and play around with their units to see what is possible.

    The Caroline Islands are a double edged sword, they are a powrful central location which give attack options across a very wide area, but this also means that they can be attacked from a lot of places too. Both the Axis and Allies have adjacent islands which can be used to land the air units which start closeby, freeing up the carriers to pick up planes coming from far away.


  • @FlyingBadger
    subs are working for both of us now

  • @zarhunter Yes, that selection of casualties is what I would choose.
    Carry on the battle to conclusion, order of loss is:

    • Cruisers
    • Battleship
    • Fighters

  • @FlyingBadger Actually, one slight alteration. Keep 1 destroyer and lose a cruiser instead.


  • @FlyingBadger Then the subsequent order of loss is:

    • Destroyer
    • Cruiser
    • Battleship
    • Fighters

  • @zarhunter I assumed no scamble as there were 9 escorting fighters against the 2 potential Soviet interceptors. However, if you would have wanted to have intercepted then we can roll for those and edit the results.

    It’s not always easy to spot this. I’ve had it done to me many times. It can be particularly effective as the Italians go after the Russian, UK and US.
