TripleA Manual Gamesave Post for game: WW2 Path to Victory
Game History
Round: 3 Purchase Units - AmericansCombat Hit Differential Summary :
The transfers Botider had listed were loaded in non-combat zones.
@Cmdr:
You may not load transports in a combat zone, so you cannot bring the infantry on the transport in the attack on SZ 20 nor may you take the Philippines.
Otherwise, take casualties in SZ 20 to maximize defender damage against Japan. You may just call it off without Philippines tho, since you’ll never get a fleet in SZ 6 again.
Inf to phi came from guam. Inf for formosa came from asia, not japan. I believe those are legal. I need casualties because I don’t know how you want to assign hits to cv’s…
okay… moving on in this seemingly interminable game…
per your ool instructions (always retaining best defense)… 12 hits assigned thusly:
1 - damage dd
2 - damage cv #1
3 - damage cv #2
4 - damage cv #3
5 - sub
6 - sub
7 - sub
8 - sub
9 - sub
10 - cv #1
11 - cv #2
12 - cv #3
so… 3 ca, 6 ftr, 1 dbb remain… best defense
sz20
round 1 defensive roll…
5 ss @ 1, 3 cv @ 2, 3 ca @ 3, 6 ftr/1 bb @ 4
Rolls: 5@1 3@2 3@3 7@4; Total Hits: 85@1: (3, 2, 2, 3, 4)3@2: (4, 4, 1)3@3: (4, 6, 4)7@4: (1, 4, 2, 4, 3, 3, 3)
your 4’s rescued you from complete disaster… but then, so did mine. :-D
jap casualties…
1 damage bb
2 damage bb
3 ss
4 ss
5 dd
6 dd
7 dd
8 ftr
2 ss, 3 dd, 4 ftr, 2 tbmb, 2 sbmb, 2 dbb remain…
sz20
round 2 - attackers…
3 ss @ 2, 2 dd @ 2, 4 ftr @ 3, 2 tbmb/2sbmb/2dbb @ 4
Rolls: 3@2 2@2 4@3 6@4; Total Hits: 63@2: (3, 3, 3)2@2: (5, 3)4@3: (5, 2, 1, 4)6@4: (5, 6, 4, 4, 2, 1)
not good… had a great chance there to minimize your defense with the subs,… no dice. literally.
3 ca, 3 ftr killed…
sz20
defense
3 ca @ 3, 6 ftr/dbb @ 4
Rolls: 3@3 7@4; Total Hits: 53@3: (6, 4, 2)7@4: (2, 6, 4, 6, 3, 2, 5)
japs lose 3 ss, 2 sbmb… retreat to sz19.
i put the 3 surviving ftrs in ksi… you may alter makeup of remaining ftrs (there were 2 british and 4 aussies to begin with - i left 3 aussies) and can move them to another place within one movement point (formosa, kwangtung, etc.) if you want.
noncombat
2 dd, 2 cv, 2 dbb, 4 ftr, 5 trn (1 inf aboard) sz20 > sz19
2 tbmb sz20 > ksu
2 arm anh > ksu
arm hop > ksu
deployment
3 ss > sz19
2 inf, arm > jap
1 ss > reserve (if that’s legal… i can’t remember. if it’s not, put him in sz6)
