SZ111 - Scramble. OOL - tip BS, Cr, DD, BS, F
SZ110 - Scramble all 3. OOL - sink the boats 1st.
SZ106 - Sub fights. If you hit & I don’t, sink the DD & submerge the sub. If we both hit, sink the sub.
@gamerman01 Makes sense. 4 subs will on average convoy away 8 IPCs-6 to take out 12 if you have Yugo + Greece.
OK, figured it out between putting in tater tots and then shrimp. The other foot will fall on G3. I can’t let the 2 transports and carrier go, simple as that.
@Stucifer said in L24 OOB Gamerman (X) v Stucifer (L+51) with Tech!:
@gamerman01 Makes sense. 4 subs will on average convoy away 8 IPCs-6 to take out 12 if you have Yugo + Greece.
Italy normally has 8 and 4 subs would usually stop them all but not always.
Germany’s 4 would always be lost
So 4 subs takes away all 12 every turn usually
But with all 12 Italy, 4 subs take 8, and even 6 subs can’t surely take it all away, just more than 1/2 the time.
Other considerations, you mentioned German ability to build facilities on Greece.
Italy taking Greece, Germans don’t have to go down there and take it, they can get in Russia faster
But Yugo to Italy normally means some Yugo guys get to fire twice.
I didn’t explain it very well, but all Italy definitely means more money to the Axis every turn, and/or more Allied ships to stop it. It’s just painful to see some subs getting convoy damage 2X every round.
Is there a post I missed with NCM or are you still working on that?
It’s down there a couple posts -

@gamerman01 Found it thanks!

LRA on the 2nd try for Germany? Gentlemen, we have a game! Watching the rest of your conversation with crockett36 right now while I try to recover from a chain of disastrous moves as the USA in a PtV game… 🤓
That is music to my ears.
Finally (referring to all other games recently) my luck has returned
It’s pretty exciting to have my first tech in 12 years…

Your fighter on India is holding up the action!
Does it scramble to 39?
@gamerman01 Yes, I will scramble. Rule Brittania!
It’s only J3 and the Sino-Russo front has been a bloodbath.
The survivors grapple to determine…
WHO WILL HOLD ULANBATAAAAAR?!
Wife wants to eat and go for a drive.
The World is at War and history hangs in the balance.
I guess history has to wait.
An Axis and Allies board is no match for a wife. Or a cat.
@gamerman01 haha! Well as my Marine friend tells me, most of war is “hurry up and wait”, which I think play by post gets accurate…🤣🤣
Enjoy the drive! 😉
I have to say BM/PtV have really spoiled me on just how much more space there is between some of the objectives like Moscow and Berlin; India and Japan. I’m not respecting the Axis enough and it’s already looking a bit grim to my eye
