Team Imhotep (Axis) vs The Headless Neds (Allies) : the Rematch

[Stalingradski]

It’s ok with me…

I have to give you the prize for greatest use of a normal rule outside the box. Never, ever would I have thought it possible to kill the blockers in SZ104. Without looking it up, it seems like a valid use of the rules.

It is completely legal (Krieg has mentioned it numerous times), and it is a classic tricky attack that has always been possible in every version of Axis and Allies…

Someone did it to me once, and i lost 7 fully loaded transports…since then, i’ve been traumatized and i’m always double checking that kind of stuff before posting my turn…

Will post Italy tonight.

[Major Major]

I’m probably wrong again, but I believe you can only bring 1 italian ftr, because of the german ftr cargo on the carr.

Uh ? If there is a german fgt as cargo (didn’t see it, thought it was on Gib), then you are totally right, only 1 fgt can do it. That would explain why the program doesn’t allow me to send the 2 fgt from SIta…

Will check it out in a few hours, when i come home.

You were very right there… :-)

My apologies for delaying the game because of a problem that was only existing in my head and had nothing to do with the Triple A program… :roll:

[Axisplaya]

Since Septimus was going to France (from Montreal, Quebec) yesterday, i’m going to post his turn, but he’s suposed to be able to play his next turn.

Okay, as expected, sz91 is attacked.

Since i have no destroyer and you have subs, i need to know if all the subs (US and Russian) will fight or submerge.

Map

[Stalingradski]

I will have the Russian sub stay and fight - I’ll let Antholin dictate the US’ move.

[Antholin]

I’m sorry for the late response guys, but I will not be submerging any subs. Let the Allies duke it out together in grand fashion. Have at thee sir.

[Axisplaya]

okay out of 2@2 6@3 3@4…Germany did only 2 hits… :roll: :roll:

OOL Please

[Axisplaya]

Also, those hits can’t be subs since the 2 hits come from planes.

[Antholin]

I understand, as you do not have a destroyer. Keep rolling.

[Antholin]

If you’re asking for selection of casualties for the US fleet, then I will take those 2 hits on destroyers.

Okay, there is 3 arty in sz109 (they had been edited previously and were in fact in the water instead of in the transports).
Those 3 art need to be deleted from sz109 and added to Wgermany. I couldn’t do it because of the “start of pending move” crappy bug.

[Major Major]

Hey,  I cant check on anything as I don’t get the dice sent to me.  Why did the subs submerge? they could have fought with their sneak attacks and been taken as casualties against naval piece hits?

[Axisplaya]

They DID fought with their sneak attack !! If you want to know, they even did 3 big hits total, 2 of them on 2nd round of combat, sinking the BB and the CA BEFORE they could even shot !

I just never got the chance to shot one ! my navy has something like 0 or 1 hit for the whole battle , can you believe that ?

[Antholin]

Oh yeah, the vicious American subs have made their combat debut in the Atlantic with a resounding success.
