With no opposition, the Axis bombers clear through.

The Italian fighter makes short work of the Nimrods.

Carry on?

[Orm]

Carry on?

No.

[AllenK]

Would the returning Swordfish care to land on the Glorious or the Eagle?

[Orm]

HMS Glorious.

[AllenK]

Facing a wall of flak (1D10), the Axis pilots decide to fling their bombs in the general vicinity of the Allied fleet (for the sake of impression) and call it a day for this round (3 rolled, reducing A2A to 0).

Do the Allies wish another round?

[Orm]

Do the Allies wish another round?

Indeed.

[AllenK]

Which boxes do the Allies wish to include?

[Orm]

Both.

4 surprise points on selecting surface combat.

[AllenK]

I used the remaining 2 surprise points to increase damage as Allied losses were already at NE.

Remarkably, the Italian transport survives but will be out of commission for a while.

Another round?

[Orm]

Another round?

Indeed.

[AllenK]

Searches: Allies 8, Axis 10. No combat.

Japanese aircraft manage to frighten the horses.

[AllenK]

While German artillery pounds Gibraltar with some success.

[AllenK]

Japan rails Mil from Port Arthur to Taiyuan.

Italy moves Arm HQ and Mech in Spain.

Japs make a couple of minor moves in Southern China.

Over to Mayhemizer for German moves and the rest of the impulse.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Japan disembarks Mil to Tientsin.

Germany declares 15:24 attack against Gibraltar. Germany has 2 points shore bombardment and Allies have 20 points. How much are Allies going to use defensive shore bombardment?

[warspite1]

Sorry gents but I assumed we were done for the evening. Just checked in after a dramatic end to Poldark [X(] to see that you have played on.

I think that in the absence of Ormster, and in view of how vital this attack is, we should adjourn for the evening.

CW adds all available defensive shore bombardment.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany uses 2 points of shore bombardment.

No ground support from Germany. Does CW want to send planes? German fighter is ready to intercept.

[Orm]

No defensive air.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

This truly was a suicide attack! First time I ever make attack with lower than 1:2 odds, looks like there is no fractional odds.

Picture will follow. (roll was 1)

[Orm]

First time I ever make attack with lower than 1:2 odds, looks like there is no fractional odds.

Well. Then we, or you, have to simulate a fractional odds roll. Because the final odds matters. Each odds lower than 1:2 gives a die roll modifier of -1.
