your battleship cannot go to z48 killing the trannies AND go back to 50.  you have to either leave the battleship in 50 or you have to attack 50 with a plane.  if you want to attack with a plane, you are going to have to decide if you want to attack z49 with some combination of the 2 fighters and battleship.  either way, if you want to attack z50 with something other than the battleship, you will have to re-declare what you will attack z49 with and reroll the battle….  you understand why i’m sure.

Thanks,

[boldfresh]

probably the most fair thing to do, since you actually made a legal attack with the battleship, is to leave the battleship in z48 since you already rolled z49.  but with this being your first game, i know you would probably not want to sacrifice the battleship for the transports (even though you are of course already killinig more than the battleship is worth…), i am willing to allow you to change your combat moves for z48 and z49, but of course you will have to reroll 49.

[Manstein]

thanks for your patience
in that case i will take the trannies out with one of the fighters
the BB stays in sz 50

what a disaster that was for me. that has totally screwed my strategy. clearly i’m an idiot for not leaving the fighters on the ACC. told you it would be worth playing on. major headaches.

FYI, if you attack the sub in either z38 or z48, you cannot also pick up the unit on the island (sum or ngu) during the same combat move (this is because the transport cannot pick up a unit in a hostile seazone).
