Minor Conflict: Warspite1 vs Mayhemizer AAR

I suspect that if you re-do it again you will notice that the second die roll, the five, is shown as targeting the unit that was already disorganized by the first die roll (the two). The die roll is in practice annulled, even though it is rolled. And, in my humble opinion, a ok way to do things. Although showing it in the ground strike summary would have been nice.

In short, it is ignored since the unit it is against is already disorganized by the first roll.

MWIF has done so repeatedly when there is a extra die roll from surprise.

Edit:

2,5 vs first unit. The 2 disorganize, so the 5 isn't shown.
7,8 vs second unit. No unit disorganize.
4,5 vs third unit. The 4 disorganize the target and the 5 is ignored and not shown.

Well that makes sense. I suspect that is what Courtenay was trying to say - so it was me that was not understanding. So on double throws the program does both throws on each unit before moving on - but then doesn't make the second throw if the first succeeds.

Yes, rolling 1,1,10,10 sucks...

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Warspite1, I think it's easy to swap 5-4 MOT with 5-5 MOT. Also that 6 moving AT is coming next turn, do you want it to map for this turn?

How will Germany place their reserves?

No thanks - I will go with what I have.

As I'm in the other game at the moment, for the sake of moving the game on, please place where you think sensible. I am looking for everything possible to be on the Western Front east of the Dutch-Belgian border. Thank-you.

IGNORE ALL THIS I NEED TO GO TO WORK AND WILL DO PROPERLY WITH PICTURES TONIGHT.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

It’s all clear.

Chinese don’t send plane.

Polish use HQ support and choose assault.

Tell us what you think, Ronnie.

Can we move 3 planes from destroyed pool to reserve pool (or any other place)?

Not sure but this is how I'd go about it. These are the US carrier planes right? Do you have a game save during or after US setup but before you ended setup? If so, I'd go to that save and move those three planes to the reserve pool. I'd then save it under another filename. Then, I would just copy all the lines associated with those three planes and paste them over the corresponding lines in a COPY of your current game file.

If you don't have a game save that you made, you could keep going through a "game start" until you got a start that had those three planes and use that.

I have a save and will test that.

How do you place them to reserve at the start?

[warspite1]

Right I've re-done the land movement to properly optimise the German position - I was rushing this morning as I had to leave for work - hence the instruction to ignore the post (I didn't fancy writing all that out again). This has changed the odds in Poland.

Sep/Oct 1939
Impulse: 3 (Axis)

Land Combat:
Germany

An attack on Lodz is announced. The odds are 68:8 8:1+1 The Poles can use HQ Support. The Germans bring in two bombers.

Japan

The Japanese announce an attack on Wuhan. It's currently automatic but the Chinese can bring in a bomber. The Japanese bring a bomber and a fighter to the hex.

Land Combat Resolution:
Germany

As usual I take in order of the program. So the German attack first. The HQ Support works and takes the odds to 7:1+1. I assume the Assault table or its automatic.

The fractionals fail and the land throw was a 2(3). Both Poles are destroyed and all Germans disorganised.

Sep/Oct 1939
Impulse: 3 (Axis)

Land Combat Resolution:
Japan

This attack is automatic and the division is destroyed. Congress couldn't give a monkeys about this development (a 4 is thrown)

[warspite1]

Sep/Oct 1939
Impulse: 3 (Axis)

Air Rebase:
Japan

A FTR and a LND are re-based in range of Wuhan.

The Germans continue rebasing from the east (3 x FTR) and move a ATR to Essen.

HQ Reorganisation:
Germany

All 3 HQ reorganise the maximum troops

Dang, that was the reason we sent that division. To get attention and help to our cause!

Well it diverted troops from Chengchow so it didn't die for nothing.

I though you attack Chengchow and I can safe with that division. Defenders of Chengchow salute the heroes!
