The Atlantic fleet need another round or two before they moved next to the coast of Gibraltar.  That area is a kill zone when the Axis controls the Rock.  Java also is a dangerous area and you moved your fleet there too soon.

@Arthur:

                British defend with 1 artillery, 1 destroyer, 1 infantry and 1 transport; Americans defend with 1 carrier, 1 cruiser, 1 destroyer, 2 fighters and 3 transports

….2 destroyers, 2 fighters 1 cruiser, and 1 carrier got… 2 hits?  That’s it two hits?  Painful.  You wiped it out with basically, aircraft.  One round.  I didn’t even get to fight.

Lesson learned.

@Arthur:

Java also is a dangerous area and you moved your fleet there too soon.  Â

Attack it.  Teach me a lesson.  If 2 BBs, 1 CV, 3 Cruisers, 6 DD, 2 Subs, and 2 fighters score…. 2 hits…  I think we can box the game.  Lesson learned by me.

You were rated to kill 3 of my units, so slightly below average for that Gibraltar fight.  TripleA has a good Battlecalculator that will show you the odds for a combat.

[innocentbystander]

I did an American Kamikaze maneuver over Java and hit you with everything I had (with the exception of the carrier.)  The batter actually went two full rounds.  The game system wanted me to take hits on your carriers.  Forget it.  I “strategically” took your crippled battleships as the first casualties to preserve your intact carriers so the planes would have somewhere to “land” instead of crashing in the sea.  I still own Java.  The planes have no where to go.

I’m going to hit them both again on Anzac’s turn.  I don’t know if that will wipe them out (4 fighters and 2 DDs coming in) but the order of damage will be fighter-carrier(1)-carrier(2)-fighter-bomber-carrier unless you specify otherwise.

The battle in Java is a critical one that will have different outcome depending on the first round of rolling.  Post the ANZAC first round of rolling and I will decide the casualties.

FYI: the tipped Battleships should have been taken last.  I adjusted the board to get things right.

@Arthur:

The battle in Java is a critical one that will have different outcome depending on the first round of rolling.  Post the ANZAC first round of rolling and I will decide the casualties.Â

FYI: the tipped Battleships should have been taken last.  I adjusted the board to get things right.Â

I concede the game.  Two rounds of fires from ANZAC I got one hit (second round.)  Very discouraging.  Well played game by you sir.  I’d like to play again (now that I have “learned” things.)

Question: when you are defending a sea zone you don’t control you still MUST have enough carriers to carry the planes in that seazone if they have no where to land, correct?  I took the BBs first to preserve all your airplanes.  Taking carriers first (which is how you altered it), and I wouldn’t have attacked with UK or ANZAC because your excess planes would just “crash.”  I’d like you keep your damaged BBs for that.  So do I have that right?

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

The planes don’t crash until the end of combat phase.  If you know that you are going to lose your entire fleet, then the carriers are taken first.  In the case where I would lose part of my fleet, like that one in Java, I would often do:

fighter
tip Carrier
sink Carrier
second fighter

Hence, the most that would crash into the ocean would be a single fighter.  If I knew that you were retreating after that round of fighting (or would be totally eliminated), and had three hits on my group, I would lose two fighters and tip a carrier.

The battleship would be the last choice to remove since it defends as a 4, and could be fixed up again.

We can play again on this same post.  Do you want to be the Axis?  If so, you can try setting up the game yourself.  I don’t need a bid if I am playing the Allies.

[innocentbystander]

I would like to play the allies again.  I trust you’ll hit my two battleships with sufficient resources that it would be stupid to scramble, in such case, just complete your Ger-1 turn.

Thank you
