I really would like to do it as it is meant to be in the rules, and as you set up the situation very well in my opinion, you should reap the rewards (I am not experienced in the way of sea lion, surely it can be done better, but the way you arranged your forces makes me doubt if sea-lion is the way to go for the Axis….especially since the die were quite in my favor in Europe, so far).

I need an hour or so anyway for the kid, maybe you find something definite until then. Only something that would support my view will make me do what I wrote below, every other result including none I will re-think my moves.

Ok Vance, just wanted to be convinced because the rules in the rulebook clearly say “Combat sequence: 1. Strat Bombing raid, 2. Amphibious aussaults, 3. General combat”.
The word sequence implies to me that it is step by step, I did not read “simultaneously” or something like that anywhere. I know that all attacks need to be declared simultaneously, of course.

Its really to my best knowldedge that I cant find anything contrary to my interpretation of the rules, and I also dont find a passage that would explicitly say that a facility disabled still works in the same turn, just that “capabilities are decreased or eliminated” (is there a Q&A somewhere, or a Krieghund explanation for future reference in my local group?), but I never had a situation where it was relevant, and you surely have way more experience than me, so of course I wont contest your explanation. So yes, I need to find another way.

As for the bombing the air base, yes, I’d very much want that as I would not commit my warships to this attack….sacrificing the transports is bad enough courtesy to your combined air force  :-), building infrastructure to better protect my warships from the 6 US bombers and then the British wave is even worse, however, because I will still bleed, even if it will cost you the 6 bombers and a few British air (provided my own air survives UK battle).

**** If you did read my request for Japan and not replying means not agreeing, no probs, my mistake, technically. If you did not read, pls have a look***

3. COMBAT

3.1. Strategic Bombing Raid Air Base UK (on the assumption that this will be played out before Amphibious Assaults and general combat, as this sequence is laid down in the rules, ie 3 damage to an airbase in this phase will preclude scrambling later on during the amphibious assault phase). Also on the assumption that fighters who intercepted cannot participate in the battle for the UK or scramble, independently of any damage or not to the airbase.

Pls correct me if I got the rules wrong, and if not, pls orders for interception!

Vance I just checked in the rules and realized that I can build MICs in areas with a value of 2 or more……I placed my MIC in such a territory, thinking FIC would not be possible. Doing Italys turn I remembered someone having a MIC in Egypt, hence my checking the rules…is it ok for you to relocate my MIC to Manchuria?

Independently of the answer, Italy now:

very strange…now the map is attached twice?!?

Anyways, gn!

Vance, I dont know what happened right now, I posted my turn, I got a red warning message that there were two previous posts I had not read, and my post did not make it.

Its too late to do all again, I send you the map now and will rewrite my NCMs if you want…tomorrow.

Just pls do the damage marker thing, I am unsure how to do properly and would like to see first, thx.

2 “1s” is a probable result, among others. Unfortunately, in this case  :-)
