Botider (Axis) vs Jen (Allies) G40A2 +NO -Tech Gm4

@Cmdr:

all those planes and ships next to Kiangsi had to have done 1 damage - so Japan has 36 IPC

i think the map showed this correctly, no?

germany 11 coming soon…

end turn 10 map…

still not clear on japan’s money… i thought the map i posted with j10 took account of convoy damage and left $37, but you say $36. not a huge deal… we can leave a couple of cabins off the next battleship ( :-D) but i didn’t see it. look at my j10 map… then 'splain if you can.

i’m mulling over germany. it may be time to start another game using Alpha+3… i’m not sure i see much of a way to win at this point… but we’ll go another couple of turns and see if the germans and italians can wedge their way into asia…

oops… did you want to scramble the fighters? i’m just goofing up all over the place here…

since it’s my mistake, you know the dice outcome now, you can decide if you want to roll three 4’s for fighters. as is, the bb that was repaired is now damaged again,… but if you bring the fighters at least two of them are dead.

or if you really want to make me pay (since it is my mistake) i will re-roll if you want.

that u.s. purchase is obscene…
anyway, what’s the skinny on how interceptors and escorts hit? too many a&a games that do it different ways (and even change as various versions emerge)…

if i understand correctly…

1. we dogfight … interceptors fire at 2, escorts fire at 1. is that right?
2. do you choose what you lose, or do the bombers go first?
3. then aa fire at surviving escorts and bombers hitting at 1. is that right?

if i have this correct, i will definitely intercept with the 2 fighters and tactical on japan… if i am wrong, please advise and i will modify plans.

btw… do you have to declare the sbr targets before any of this happens, or do you wait to do that afterwards when you know what survived?
