@mikawagunichi

game notes of BM say
“(EM) Japan can fly over UK and French territories before going to war with them.”

I assumed no difference in this for PtV

PTV is derived from BM, so unless explicitly stated in the game notes you can generally assume the rules are the same.

@zarhunter said in L24 BM FlyingBadger (Axis) vs Zarhunter (Allies+15) #5:

Scramble?

Yes, all 3.
Let me choose the Italian casualties please, I may make different decisions depending on how the dice land.

another pacific fleet pathing error, I lose more games that way and I just cant seem to fix that oversight.

It can be difficult to anticipate all the possible air units which can be brought into an attack when there are lots of islands and carriers around as potential landing spots. I’ve lost many a USN fleet in the Pacific because I failed to account fully for all the Japanese air units. You can always use a Local Game, to skip through to the opponeents turn and play around with their units to see what is possible.

The Caroline Islands are a double edged sword, they are a powrful central location which give attack options across a very wide area, but this also means that they can be attacked from a lot of places too. Both the Axis and Allies have adjacent islands which can be used to land the air units which start closeby, freeing up the carriers to pick up planes coming from far away.

@Stucifer

Hope your home game went well! Board looked fantastic.

I thought I had it but then realized 1 weakness,

I failed to save after dice rolls, so to keep the non-com cleaner I went back and re-rolled and edited to first results.

I’m going to have to take another try at the noncombat, and I couldn’t visualize everything at the end of my turn, to go back.

This cut into my nap time, will finish later!
Your 2 med fleets are nasty!

No problem, I’m sure all is right.

You’ve got me taking time and fine-tuning, you’re making me sweat a little!

I was worried that my play wouldn’t be of sufficent quality and the game would not be competetive. I am glad that I am providing a challenge, although I offer a thousand apologies for disrupting your nap time.
