Rematch 4 player game (Orm, Peskpesk, jjdenver and Mayhemizer)

[Orm]

Germany initiates combat with the FTR2 (FW 190A-1). No additional air.

[jjdenver]

CW will send FTR2 into 1 box on reaction. I don't think this will change Axis reaction response but if it does I will go back, please just let me know.

[Orm]

No change.

[jjdenver]

Ax win a 1-8 split. Which box(es) to choose and how to spend surp? Also how will ax air be lined up (if you are willing to decide that in advance)?

[Orm]

1-box only. I expect 8 surprise points for Axis. Two points to increase a2a, and two points to decrease enemy a2a. 4 points saved for later use.

The two Italian fighters take the rear. Re.2000 take the last spot.

Enemy fighters will be selected for combat results if it is our choice.

[jjdenver]

Round 1 results. Stay?

[Orm]

Yes. Stay.

[jjdenver]

Round 2:
al roll 16 DXPX - destroy FTR I assume?

[Orm]

Yes. FTR goes down. [:(]

[jjdenver]

Round 2 results. Stay?

[Orm]

No, Axis abort back to the sea area.

[Orm]

If there is no AA fire, then all remaining surprise points will be used to increase damage done. TRS will be targeted.

[jjdenver]

Something strange is happening (a bug?) with the results or else I'm missing something. Here is what game shows and a screenshot of the damage chart. I think natural result should be 1D2A and shifted up 2 columns should be 1X1A. But game is showing natural result 1X1D1A before spending surp. If you agree game is doing something wrong should I manipulate the outcome to reflect 1X1A after shifting? (I can try to change defense rolls to achieve a result possibly if we agree there is some bug. CW will abort sz if TRS is damaged instead of sunk otherwise will probably stay at sea)



EDIT: I went back to try to re-create the battle and made sure to click "abort" for both sides at end of round 2 air combat to be sure that somehow the 2nd IT NAV wasn't clearing through but same result. The result looks like both IT NAV are being used (6 a2s). I can apply the X to TRS, D to Barham and roll 10 defense for Barham, aborting it then based on actual defense roll of Barham I can either just roll a 10 for the A result.

[Orm]

Yes, seems to be a bug in my humble opinion. Looks like MWIF thinks both surviving naval bombers are included.

Treat the combat result as 1x1a.

Axis remain in the sea area.

Edit: I agree with your edit. [:)]

[Orm]

Maybe post a bug report and include an save?

[jjdenver]

Strange. Once I clicked through to results the game showed correct results. So I re-ran the combat.

Dutch TRS and MAR sunk. Barham saves abort.

Will Axis stay?

[Orm]

Yes, Axis stays.

[jjdenver]

Round 2 naval allies win 9-1 split with 7 surp. 2 surp to shift a2a to -5ax/+4al.
Here are air results. I assume ax abort a2a. Stay in sz?

[Orm]

Abort air combat, and stay in sea area.

[jjdenver]

No one sees anything. On with the impulse.
