Mayhemizer vs AllenK: The rematch

[Mayhemizer_slith]

OMG!

[AllenK]

The 4 USSR Lnds miss.

The French 105mm hits 2/3 targets.

[AllenK]

The Potez misses all targets.

ORIGINAL: AllenK

The Potez clears through, while the leading LW fighter is destroyed. The remaining Ftr aborts.

We play with optional rule backup fighter. Why it is only Axis +2?

I though it would be:
Axis 6,5=7
Allies 4,4=4
Axis +3

But is it something like:
6,5-4,4=+2,1
Axis +2
This does not make sense as second round is Axis +1.

Edit: Result is the same. I just try to understand this rule.

[AllenK]

I think it's okay.

5 - 4.4 = 0.6. I presume it rounds up to +1.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I said 2nd round does not make sense but it does.

[AllenK]

The Chinese have nearly all units in mountain hexes.

Edit: re-done as I realised I hadn't got the land moves quite right.

[AllenK]

Beaufighter and Halifax rebase to Sardinia.

Zhukov reorgs the 2 best bombers.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

N/D 1940 Axis 3

No DoW

Germany and Japan land, Italy combined.

Naval air
Italy sends to West Med FTR box 2 and NAV box 4.
Germany sends to West Med FTR and NAV (Condor) box 2.

Italy sends CP, Trans and CL from La Spezia to Italian Coast. Do Allies want to intercept?

[AllenK]

Yes please. Use the CW sub in 2-box.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Brave plan worked so far!

On a roll 8 ships sailed to East Med box 0 loading Italian INF HQ and INF div from Egypt.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Italy initiated combat in West Med.

Italy sends NAV and bomber to box 2, German sends NAV to box 2.

Do Allies want to send more planes?

[AllenK]

Spitfire to 0-box and Beaufighter to 2-box, if you please.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I guess CW subs don't take part to this combat?

[AllenK]

Yes, I think they'll decline the offer.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Axis 5, Allies 9.

With no fighter cover Italian Gabbiano chooses only box 1 with 2x CA.

All 8 surprise points are used to increase damage.

Where does CW place D?

[AllenK]

The Berwick thanks.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Berwick is only aborted. Is Gibraltar good place to abort?

Axis stay, I think Allies do the same?

[AllenK]

Gibraltar's fine. Carry on the fight.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

2nd round:

Axis 1, allies 8.

Only box 4 is chosen. Order is to sink CV's.

Does Allied planes fly as fighters, the best as front fighter and the worst as last?
