Spoox (Axis) vs Alsch91 (Allies) Alpha 2 round 4

@DoManMacgee said in TGC (German) vs. Doman (Allies) Original Europe:

@The_Good_Captain Fight to the death!

I have to ask you to EDIT back in your Russian sub. Chalk it up to the non-intuitive nature of sub rules but I should not have asked you to submerge. The Russian sub submerges, full stop.

An attacking sub is 60/40 win loss against a defending sub.

The Russian sub gets no benefit for fighting to the death.

It attacks the German sub on its turn at 60% as opposed to defending on its own turn at 40%.

The German sub will fight to the death on the Russian turn in order to try to win at 40% and deny the Soviets their IPC. I’ve encountered this before and should have known better. The battle really was always only about the Russian transport only. Even if the German sub had “hit” on the surprise strike, you could just select the transport since casualty selection is sequential and the surprise attack occurs before normal combat. The Russian sub was never under threat and should always submerge.

Play on with the Russian sub and I will fight to the death as the German sub on Russias turn.

@The_Good_Captain said in TGC (Germans) vs Doman (Allies), Original Europe:

G6.tsvg the reason I left one inf behind was the 50% chance you remove one of my tanks with that Russian tank in the Caucasus. I sacked a one attacker to ensure the survival of a three attacker.

All good I get it.

On to the next game. Need to try the same playbook (for the most part) with the Ukraine bid before throwing in the towel on this version.

I skipped intercept in Japan due to odds. I think coming up to the Carolines was the right call overall, but you’re definitely in a tight spot. KJF is still such a strong strategy.

Even though you have great odds to kill my stack on Wake, it’s costly, and keeps the DEI in UK Pacific hands for yet another turn. Andif you ignore it, it’s like a dagger in the back.
