Allies stay. Although we might consider sending out more air when we get to that point.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Any planes flying?

[Orm]

The South African fighters reinforce the 0-box.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Axis 9, Allies 10 ends naval combat.

Good night to all [>:]

Italian artillery...

[Mayhemizer_slith]

German artillery!!! [:)]

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Luftwaffe is making me crazy...

[Mayhemizer_slith]

One hit in China.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

End of ground strikes.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany rails Hamburg MIL to Seville and Stettin MIL to Saragossa.

Japan declares automatic attack against partisan and Germany attacks Gibraltar.

Does CW want to use defensive shore bombardment? Axis have no ships for support. Axis have no bombers, only two fighters and two ATRs.

I have quit from today and continue tomorrow morning.

[warspite1]

Mayhemizer you say two fighters and two ATR but I do not know their bombing capability. So what I would like is to assume the Germans will use those aircraft as bombers. If so, and that would give the Germans 1:1 I would like only sufficient shore bombardment to keep to 1:2 please.

So to be clear, even if the Germans used max aircraft and the odds would still be 1:2 then use no SB. If theoretically you could get to 1:1 by doing this, use only enough bombers to keep at 1:2 regardless of what you chose to do.

Hope that is clear.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I said it unclear. Germany has two fighters (bombing values 1 and 2) and ATR (no bombing value). Italy has ATR (bombing value 1) but there is no reason to use it as that would give -1 to roll.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

If CW does not use SB, attack is 17:22. I would say Axis have .636 fractional odds for 1:1 attack.

If CW uses all ships for SB (14 points) attack is 17:36 and it can't become 1:1. Germany can use 2 points ground support (leaving 6 point air-to-air value fighter and AA gun for CW bombers), then attack would be 19:36 giving very small fractional odds (.028) to get 1:1.

The question is, how big risk CW wants to take that Axis get 1:1 attack?

[Orm]

The question is, how big risk CW wants to take that Axis get 1:1 attack?

No risk at all. So CW provide 12 points in defensive shore bombardment. Adding all ships except HMS Ramillies.

CW reserve the right to add air support and select the land combat table.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Attack is even 1:2 (17:34).

No ground support from Axis.

Does CW want to use HQ support or ground support?

I bet 10 BP's for assault table [;)]

[Orm]

No bet. [:D]

No air support.

Franco provides HQ support.

CW select the blitz table.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Attack will happend tonight.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

On a 3 HQ support fails. Here are final odds. In China Japs destroy partisan in resource hex.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Roll is 10 and attack is successful! But game gave Axis .1000 (automatic) fractional odds. I need to report this and go back to roll a 9.
