I learnt something today!

You are not the only one

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I loaded from ground support intercept phase were I had a save. In this phase US CVP's that are bombing are shown both in target hex and in sea box 4 with others but they have text "bombing / flying as bomber" These 3 planes were not able to land.

I try to bomb again, but if the result is the same I will work around this problem by not using them as bomber but fighters to make them disorgnized and I edit dice roll so that we get the correct result, odds on the previous page

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Problem did not appear again, we are moving to land combat. I will only roll France and pass file to JJ as I don't know for sure how USSR is going to take possible losses and advance.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Allies take the hex losing MOT and shatter enemy units in fear of next turn impulse 1 counter attack

44 JF i9 allies (cont):
allied spate of land attacks and invasions continues....
The attacks in the Pacific are easy:

Axis will choose table on some of these 4 remaining attacks. Also if it's possible please let me know loss order then I can start executing them all.

I have to ask one more time about choosing the combat table and AT gun. Is AT gun worth of ARM or 1/2 ARM?

[Orm]

Each defending AT is worth one ARM. An entire corps/army.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Thanks. I knew that but got confused as I didn’t notice the second attaking ARM. Over 10 years of playing and still I don’t know the rules

[jjdenver]

here are pictures at time of rolling dice that should include winterized.

Loss units in priority order are: MIL, GARR, INF, AT, MOT, AA.

We select assault wherever we can.

[jjdenver]

44 JF i9 allies (cont):
Attack results slightly below average. Nothing too great really, but lots of German oil is burned and the number of Axis units facing the Soviets thins imperceptibly while against Japan a fighter is overrun so overall it's a much-needed positive impact to start 44 for the allies.

Not going to argue with that. Just want to clarify that, as I understand it, the Soviet attack rolls were slightly below average, but that all the Allied attack rolls combined, including the Soviet, CW, and US, were above average.

[Orm]

I hope to begin our impulse tomorrow, Thursday, sometime during the day,

[Mayhemizer_slith]

NAV4 as high as possible
NAV2 box 1, if there is no NAV or CV

[Orm]

There is a CVL in the 1-box. Only CPs in the 0-box.

I am going to proceed with the NAV2 going to the 0-box, and then go back and change it if I was in error.
