@Arthur:

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.

The thing is….

Battle in 91 Sea Zone
                Germans attack with 2 bombers, 6 fighters, 1 submarine and 4 tactical_bombers
                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
                Units damaged: 1 carrier owned by the Americans
                Germans win with 2 bombers, 5 fighters and 4 tactical_bombers remaining. Battle score for attacker is 83
                Casualties for Germans: 1 fighter and 1 submarine
                Casualties for British: 1 artillery, 1 destroyer, 1 infantry and 1 transport
                Casualties for Americans: 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.

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.

@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?

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
