French AA fire can be used, will they fire?

AA fire is lowest of 6.

Odds before ground support is 74:7, so it will be 74-76:9.

Don't you have AA that can reduce the effect of the defensive ground support?

I was just coming to that. Germany can fire lowest of 5. So maybe French don't want to fire I guess.

If Germany rolls 2 or higher, attack is automatic, no matter how HQ rolls.

If HQ fails, attack is automatic.

If Germany rolls 1 and France does not fire, attack is 7,5:1B. French HQ can drop it down to 6,5:1B

If Germany rolls 1 and French AA fire roll 2 or higher and HQ succeeds, odds are 6,25:1B. This is the best possible result for France.

I do not think this is correct. The German AA needs to be 3, or higher. The AA is before weather modifications.

Edit: Same with French AA. France needs a 4, or higher, to eliminate the German air support.

Hmmm, when I rolled 2 it negated ground support.

Might be a bug.

Cut from RAC: 8.2.3 Air effects
Halve the naval, tactical and strategic bombardment factors of aircraft (including carrier planes) in a sea area,
or attacking a hex, in rain or snow. If the aircraft is suffering anti-aircraft fire, apply this halving after the AA results
are applied.

The AA needs to be included if - without it - the battle is or is even possibly automatic. Thank-you.

Both fire AA and this is result:

Roll One
Generating 6 rolls of 1d10, 10 per line.
Comment: French AA

7 7 9 4 4 3

--------------------------------------------------
Roll Two
Generating 5 rolls of 1d10, 10 per line.
Comment: German AA

6 4 1 4 7

I have some problems as game freezes if both sides fire.

4 factor Stuka is hit by 3 and halved after that = 1 point ground support.
3 factor French bomber is hit by 1 and halved after that = 1 point ground support.

Final odds are 75:8 = 9.375 B
-2 from weather = 7.375B

If HQ succeeds, Germany has 6.375B

Anyone confirms I'm right?

I move on without firing German AA gun, I leave 0,5 reorg points unused to compensate that.

French HQ support fails on an 8. So the attack is automatic.

Units destroyed, note that odds are wrong because German AA gun was not able to fire due to a bug.

German MECH, MOT and ARM div are O-Chit doubled during advance after combat and they overrun French HQ adjacent to Paris. All three units gets disorganized.

Hello
Finally, I managed to catch up with my reading on this AAR too.
I'm impressed that you manage to juggle 4 AARs without becoming too confused
Thanks for the effort

I can tell that few times I have been confused. Then I go to the first page and check which major powers I’m playing with [:)]
