Minor Conflict: Warspite1 vs Mayhemizer AAR

[warspite1]

Yes please - the CP goes to the main fleet anchorage

[warspite1]

ORIGINAL: Mayhemizer

EDIT: Now I realized I should have send one more CL to Baltic Sea this impulse, so that I could initiate combat if Germany sends more CPs there.

warspite1

Wouldn't that have been impossible as the Germans hold Copenhagen?

The current situation on the Danish/German border

[brian brian]

“As usual I take the attacks in the order presented by program”

There are times when selecting the order of the combats can reap big rewards - such as when an attack on hex B then puts hex A out of supply. WiF uses instant supply calculations, so even if A & B were in supply when attacks declared, if that changes after an attack, defense strength of disorganized/flipped units can change.

There can also be advantages in combat order for blocking retreat paths from a Blitz combat.

Ah right - thanks

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Partisan appears to French Indo-China. There is a TERR protecting resource, is this a good place? It can move and cut rail road to China and possibly attack later to city if more partisans joins the combat.

How Germany places their markers?

[warspite1]

Can the Partisan be placed to the northeast please, in the mountains and cutting the road?

Markers are both defensive please.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No it can't, Chinese unit ZoC is the reason. You can move it there next turn.
