Mayhemizer vs AllenK: The rematch

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I knew there will be bad news for Allies...

Edit: Oops, I meant to say "you knew..."

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Axis use all 4 points to reduce AA down to -1/3.

AA fire is quite effective.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Final result is X D A.

CV sinks from the first hit. Who takes D?

Edit: CV Glorious seems to sink about same day as in real war.

[AllenK]

CL Cardiff can take the D.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

CL Cardiff is aborted on a roll 10.

Axis choose to abort CW CP.

Axis stay for more, how about Allies?

[AllenK]

As suckers for punishment, they'll stay.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Axis 7, Allies 5 and combat is over.

Where does CL and CP abort?

[AllenK]

Both to Gibraltar thanks.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

In Cape St. Vincent Axis roll 2 and Allies 4.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Final results:

No damage to Axis.

Allies take D A. Ships are identical and CL Cairo is damaged. Which one takes A?

[AllenK]

Abort the Cairo, back to Gib when the time comes.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Second round:

Axis 10, Allies 9.

Rolls in North Atlantic:

Axis 2, Allies 6.

Only box 0 is selected.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Italy uses 2 points to reduce Allied damage to A. Italian sub takes only 1/2 abort on a roll 8!

Italy uses 2 points to increase own damage to X 3A.

I believe Allies stay until the end?

[AllenK]

You believe correct.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

This is getting even more ridiculous.

Axis 1, Allies 10.

Again only 0 box is included.

Game was showing that Axis cause 2A (3 sub factors vs 5 ships) and crashed when Allied ships were about to take damage. I think damage should have been D.

When I reload it crashes again...

Axis would like to use 4 points to negate Allies damage and 6 points to increase own damage to X 3A (or X A if that is maximum).

Edit: Here is save file is it works with AllenK. I need to quit from today and figure out tomorrow how we get around this.

[AllenK]

Perhaps it's recognised the continuing ridiculousness of the naval search rolls and crashed in shame.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

One way to get around this is roll 10 and 10 so that combat is over. And if CW cannot replace destroyed/aborted CPs then CW will dump enough BPs to compensate both destroyed CPs and resources that came from America using destroyed/aborted CPs.

That way CW is forced to build CPs but gets them to play without waiting.

[AllenK]

The combat result is reading okay. From RAC, "only the convoy points count as ships. Every 2 convoy points (and any spare point) counts as a ship." That makes 3 sub factors against 3 ships and the shown result is correct. By not spending 2 surprise points, the result is 2D, A. This is functionally the same as the X, A that would have been the result with all 6 remaining surprise points spent. The game was happy with that and didn't crash.

Figuring you would like to stay around to finish off the remaining CP's, I went for another round. Searches Axis 5, Allied 2. No effect on Allies. 4 surprise points used to increase damage.

I aborted it back to La Spezia.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Very good. It crashed on my computer every time. I think I should have tried to restart my computer.

It would have been better to take A and increase my damage. Then North Atlantic would been almost empty of CPs. Next time I'm smarter...

It generated a MadEx and froze each time I spent all six points, so it seems there is a problem. Fortunately, by spending 2 less the result was the same and it didn't crash.
