July/August 1942 Impulse: 9 (Axis) Right, AllenK is not around but has said he will take a chance and not intercept the 11-ship force (which he knows to contain the TRS and GARR (from last nights picture)). As I can't save the game at this stage I will continue on the basis that he does not want to intercept the TRS. The transport continues onto Cagliari, leaving its three escorts in the 0-box. The next Italian naval move is a convoy moving into the West Med. Do the CW wish to intercept this time? [image]local://upfiles/28156/87B804E5883C483F90848CED5FF95570.jpg[/image]

The unparenthesized number is the sea zone, but I have no clue as to what the parenthesized number is. I am sure I could look it up, but I am posting this because I suspect others might not know what that number is either, and could benefit from being told. (Also, I am lazy. [:)])

The number in parentheses is their search roll modifier. The units with hyphens can't search (i.e. no matter what they roll, they can never find). It must be fine weather, or there'd be a search modifier for being in the 3 box.

AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (1/5/2020 2:10:09 PM)
No thanks. Good call on the 2nd TF with the TRANS.

If it were a search roll modifier (which would be useful), the Axis NAVs would have a modifier.

July/August 1942 Impulse: 9 (Axis) Naval Movement: (Cont) Italy An Italian cruiser initiates combat. a 5-strength fighter flies to the 0-box. Three NAV and one LND join them - as does a German LND. The CW have available: a FTR - 0-box a FTR - 1-box a LND - 2-box a LND - 2-box (or 3 with extended range) a ATR - 2-box I'm not sure how the Boston is in supply but.... What do the CW wish to do?

The CP in West Med is putting the DB-7 in supply (for now [sm=innocent0001.gif]). Fly the RSA Hurricane to the 0-box, thanks.

composer99 -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (1/5/2020 3:08:55 PM)
I could very well be mistaken - it could be the invasion modifier. Actually, now I come to think of it I'm sure I'm mistaken and it is the invasion modifier.

July/August 1942 Impulse: 9 (Axis) Naval Combat: (Air to Air Combat Subphase) Advantage Allies - are you happy with this set up [image]local://upfiles/28156/A49F43BAD2D3449DB55544865F1FF7CE.jpg[/image]

AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (1/5/2020 3:21:26 PM)
Go for it.

warspite1 -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (1/5/2020 3:24:39 PM)
July/August 1942 Impulse: 9 (Axis) Naval Combat: (Air to Air Combat Subphase) Round 1 Allies - 6 (DX) - The Italians decide to lose the NAV (the pilot survives) Axis - 14 (AA) - Where does the Hurricane abort to? If applicable shall I say from whence it came?

AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (1/5/2020 3:30:30 PM)
Whence it came is good, thanks.

July/August 1942 Impulse: 9 (Axis) Naval Combat: (Air to Air Combat Subphase) So now all even in modifiers Round 2 Allied - 6 (DA) - Italy chooses to abort the NAV Axis - 19 (AXPX) - Front fighter destroyed (pilot is killed)

July/August 1942 Impulse: 9 (Axis) Naval Combat: (Air to Air Combat Subphase) Modifiers now +3/-3 to Axis. Do the Allies stay?

AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (1/5/2020 3:45:59 PM)
Stay.

July/August 1942 Impulse: 9 (Axis) Naval Combat: (Air to Air Combat Subphase) Modifiers now +3/-3 to Axis. Round 3 Allies - 13 (AC) - CW clears through the weakest bomber but with better attack factors Axis - 8 (DA) - The Nimrod is aborted. I need to go have some tea - will be back circa 6:30 [image]local://upfiles/28156/9A86C980E8474115BA216467D2967374.jpg[/image]

AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (1/5/2020 3:52:49 PM)
If it's my choice on what to clear through, then the SM.79 please. Edit: Never mind. Just seen the next die roll.

warspite1 -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (1/5/2020 5:24:34 PM)
July/August 1942 Impulse: 9 (Axis) Naval Combat: (Anti-Aircraft Subphase) I've no idea how this works so will roll 10 dice and this will be taken in strict order. 5 10 4 7 6 5 7 10 8 4 Looks like its the highest of 1 so there are 5 points. One aircraft is aborted and the background is Italian so I abort the lowest air to sea factors. Assume its 13 points vs 6 bombers = 1/1. 5 points = 1 land based air aborted That leaves the attack as follows: [image]local://upfiles/28156/B7A5F9E7F15D47499E8F05510637AB2A.jpg[/image]

July/August 1942 Impulse: 9 (Axis) Naval Combat: Remind me, when do we choose targets? Is this individually or do we choose up front?

AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (1/5/2020 5:42:41 PM)
With it being air attack, the choice alternates with Axis going first.

warspite1 -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (1/5/2020 5:43:12 PM)
