AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR

[Mayhemizer_slith]

AA was NE. Final result is X A.

Italy chooses target for X.

[AllenK]

I think you can probably guess this. The Trans.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I did. My plan was to get Dakar MIL to France or sink trying. Mission completed.

France continues combat, I think Axis will do the same?

[AllenK]

Yes thanks

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Axis roll 5, Allied roll 1. Combat is over and remaining cruisers sails to Cape St. Vincent box 1.

Allied initiates combat only in Italian Coast. Juicy Trans loaded with Mech is just asking for attack.

[AllenK]

Finally, on my fourth attempt, I nail a transport.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Allied roll 3, Axis 7. This may hurt a bit.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I had two options:

1) Take only Italian NAV and try to shoot it down when flying as fighter.

2) Fly as bomber and try to damage Trans.

Option 2 has been chosen. Boxes 0 and 1 are included to combat.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Oh... I have 10 surprise points when only boxes 0 and 1 are included.

I guess I go with surface and use 3 points choosing target.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

2 points are used to increase own damage to 2X. 3 points are used to select target.

Italian transporter with Mech sinks. Who takes another X?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

It was worth taking naval with France. I realized too late that I can't move my HQ to reorganize artillery if I want to ground strike with it. I almost started to regret taking naval, but not anymore. Perfect success, no matter how this ends.

[AllenK]

The CL Taranto

[Mayhemizer_slith]

CL Taranto sinks on roll 3.

Axis are causing damage D. France chooses BB Richelieu to be the target. Roll is not going to be 1?

Roll is 1!

France is fighting, how about Italy?

[AllenK]

Quelle surpise! On yet another important combat the die rolls go against the Axis.

[AllenK]

May as well keep fighting.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Round 2: Axis 2, Allied 6.

How will Italy use their surprise points? And will it be naval air combat?

[AllenK]

Avoid combat.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Damaged BB is returning France. Does Axis want to intercept it?

[AllenK]

May as well

Why does Italy spend french surprise points?
