@Emperor:

Churchill addresses the British people by short wave:

“My fellow Countrymen-
The Nazi menace has landed on our beloved homeland, but fear not, this will not stand.
Even now Canadian, Scottish, and British forces from the 8th Army are preparing to liberate London.  We will win the final victory”

Churchill meets with the head of the OSS and approves plans to neutralize the Nazi Transport fleet in Fjords of Norway.

Such Drama… :roll:

Ugghh…having trouble with the new ABattlemap again- crashed on me- tried reinstalling it and it won’t work.  I got try a couple things…if it doesn’t work I may have to go back to Func’s module- sorry for the delay- it may be 2-3 days.

[questioneer]

Ok- got it.  screwy module… :| :?
This low-resolution module usually works fine, but every once in a long while (3 weeks or so) I have issues and have to reinstall it-weird.  I’m getting Win7 next week so maybe that will help…I got crappy Vista right now.  I’ll get to my turn later- sorry for the delay.

[questioneer]

Whoa…hold on chief…this move on UK2 makes no sense according to my maps

SZ110 (German Fleet)
1DD sz92

SZ112 (1SS, 8TP)
1tac Gib will land on CV from sz92 after SZ110 is cleared.

1. Why did you send a lone DD into a German fleet??

2. The tac from Gibraltar can’t make the flight to pillage the 8TTs.  By rules you can’t do “risky missions”-also you didn’t even attempt the redevous for the tac so you shouldn’t get the credit for the kill of 8TTs.

Outside the box strategy, and perfectly legal.  I only have to show that a landing is “Possible” however unlikely.  Had the DD killed the German fleet in SZ110, the CV would have moved in to pick it up.  But alas the poor DD wasn’t up to the task, so the pilot drown when he ran out of gas.  With no plane to pick up, the CV was free to move elswhere.

This rule\tactic has been discussed many, many, many times and deemed legal.

[questioneer]

Wow…very sneaky indeed.

This this pass through Kreighund???

Even if it did I’m definitely going to ask him to clarify this better in the FAQs.  Very ambiguous to me, though I guess it seems legal.  The term “risky mission” must be clarified better especailly in this kind of situation.

What a sucker punch. :lol:

Bending the rules- that’s called a “bend not break the rules” strategy- nice cheapshot. :-)

Well, if this passed through Kreighund, then I’m going to ask that we start over- if I would have had a clearer understanding of that rule (or if the stupid rulebook was better written- gosh there’s always loopholes in these rules sometimes).  I wouldn’t have left 8TT hanging like that- in fact, I remember counting the tac’s moves including a carrier pickup!!!- wow, that’s below the belt man- very dirty- I like it!!!  I’m ticked but I’m laughing at the same time. :lol: :x :lol:  Nice one!!!

Or…if you want we can rewind and do the turn 2 over.  That move just burned $56- too much of a waste of time for me to continue.

[questioneer]

Just read the Europe rulebook- it is clear there so I stand corrected.  If I would have known that I would have built them in z113 or something- I think you also caught me with no aircraft to scramble there either- nice move indeed.  So can I have a mulligan or should we start over???

definitely clear it with Krieg, for your own peice of mind.  The term “risky mission” must be your own invention, it shows up no where i’ve seen.
