Okie

Setup roll Rolls: (2d6)     
Int. roll Rolls: (2d6)

Okie

Cleveland & Fletcher in 11D
DaJudge

Yukikaze in 1D
Akitsuki 1 in 1D

Akitsuki 2 in 1F

3 Zekes on land base of course.

my 3 ships will move forward 2 sectors each.

First air will be Zeke over Akitsuki 2.

Just for the record, my admiral is NOT deployed. It certainly helps to know the rules and format before the tournament starts but I'm finding out you don't even have to deploy your admiral at all so what's the benefit of deploying him? I know if the ship he is on sinks, you lose him, but what is the gain for deploying him?

Your move and first air Okie, thanks.

By the way, can you handle this map, I'm also in the death match and am handling a map there, it will get confusing for me or is GAR doing everyone's maps?
Okie

I have no idea how to do map's. If that will be a problem then I will bow out and let someone who know's how play??  Embarassed  Embarassed  Sad

I don't think you have to do that, we can just draw it on paper and do it that way, no harm, no foul, I just don't want to be doing maps for every game, it becomes a hindrance.

Anyway, post your moves and first air and we'll go from there, just draw a map on paper as best you can, we have the original at the top of page 1 and can just draw it, I did that with packer tim last week and this is only 50 point match, it will be a snap to keep track of.
Gross Admiral Raeder

you guys have a total of 5 ships put together,

Just use the co ordinates like in Chess
I don't think Aqua/packertim used a map at all, Look at there game

Some admirals give Bonus for Dice rolls, Unit Placement etc,
Gross Admiral Raeder



Here is a cheesy map, All planes are at their Airbase's
Okie

Cleveland & Fletcher to 9D
DaJudge

My ships are in 3d and 1 Aki in 3F.

First air is one Zeke over lone Akitsuki in 3F.
DaJudge

Here is a map after moves- I have one Zero in 3F.

Your air placement

Okie

Daunt. & avenger to 3D
Okie

Sorry that I'm not faster but I'm watching the Olympic's.
Aquarius

1 plane at a time.
Okie

Ok! I'm just used to doing 2 at a time in matche's. For now I'll leave them as since I move first that's where they will end up anyway, but I'll do 1 from now on.
DaJudge

Both my other Zero's to 3D and will commence with AA against SBD and TBD since you have no AA-

Zeke with surprise against SBD in 3d- Rolls: (8d6)                 

Will await result to proceed-
DaJudge

SBD aborted-

Zeke with Surprise shoots at TBF- Rolls: (8d6)                 

If Zeke fails to abort, Akitsuki at TBF- Rolls: (5d6)           

If that fails- Yukikaze AA at TBF- Rolls: (5d6)           
DaJudge

Avenger aborted by the Zero. I miscounted and posted incorrectly the first time that the Avenger got through but it didn't.
DaJudge

Actually, I thought that the Avenger has armor 6. Errrf.

No surface or air attacks so we can proceed to turn 2, all planes rearming.

Initiative roll- Rolls: (2d6)     

reroll if necessary- Rolls: (2d6)     
packertim

Two of my favorite opponents.  Good luck to both of you.  Hopefully neither of you will lose as badly as I did.  (I did not help myself with my fleet composition.  I had never played such a low point total and it took me by surprise.  In retrospect, I would go with a much different fleet.)  But it really wouldn't have mattered.  When a player hits 3 out of 5 torps( one being a Long Lance and his aa aborts the equivalent of a Dauntless with a 6.  Even if I had had an Avenger, it would have been aborted)
In a low point total game, there is no way to overcome those numbers.  So, good luck!
DaJudge

I am hoping for some Aqualuck myself with my long lances, that's the only way I have a shot at this game, it's going to be tough. My units are either very small or very big so 50 points doesn't work well for me. If I had a cruiser or two in my fleet, I would have used it but IJN cruisers being so pricey, I can get 2 Yukikaze's for 1 Myoko and they are both just as easy to sink in my opinion.

Thanks for the wishes.
Okie

Int - Rolls: (2d6)     
re - Rolls: (2d6)     
Okie

Look's like me first again.
Both to 7C
DaJudge

Your move Okie-

I am online for a few more hours if you want to bang out a turn today, if you can.

I will update the map after this turn finishes, just refer to the previous map.
Okie

I have a couple of erand's to run but shouldn't be more than an hour if I hurry. Okie
DaJudge

Aki 2 to 5E

Aki 1/Yukikaze 5C

No air this turn just surface fun.  Wink
packertim

while okie runs his errands, do you want to play a quick 75 pt match?
DaJudge

Yeah sure, very quick.  Wink

Using the same map as we are using here?
packertim

let me know when   i will get a thread going
DaJudge

right now, use units from your fleet, I'll do same, send to aquarius.
Okie

I got a call from my youngest and have to go grocery shoping for her and pick up some med's as she is sick as a dog, so I don't know when I'll get back to our game. Will post when I return. Sorry! Okie
DaJudge

No problem, I'll check in late tonight and see if anything got crippled or sunk and then do my surface fire.

I'll be on at work tomorrow, just can't do map at work but we shouldn't really need it, only 3 ships left.
DaJudge

Here's the map anyway   Smile

Okie

Cleveland only crippled, it take's 3 to sink her not 2
Int Rolls: (2d6)     
re Rolls: (2d6)     
Okie

Cleveland to 8B
Fletcher to 6B objective
Aquarius

Cleveland's sunk. It was a long lance torpedo.
DaJudge

Yes, the dreaded Long Lance torpedo does 3 hull points.  Twisted Evil

Yukikaze and Akitsuke move to 6C, this should be the defining turn.

Your air.....
Okie

Cleveland sunk!!
Daunt. to 6C
DaJudge

Zero to 6C
Okie

Avenger to 6C
That's all my air.
DaJudge

My other two Zero's to 6C and will commence with AA-

Zero at SBD- Rolls: (7d6)               

Zero- at SBD or next plane if applicable- Rolls: (7d6)               

Zero- same as 2nd Zero- Rolls: (7d6)               

Akitsuki at available target- avenger first- Rolls: (5d6)           

Yukikaze at Avenger if applicable, SBD 2nd- Rolls: (5d6)           
DaJudge

SBD splashed, Avenger aborted. Nice shootin gunners!
DaJudge

Since you have no AA, do your surface fire when ready and I'll go ahead and do mine as this will decide the game(possibly)

Yukikaze fires Long Lance torpedoes at Fletcher, range 1- Rolls: (3d6)       

Akitsuki fires Long Lance torpedoes at Fletcher, range 1- Rolls: (2d6)     

Will do gunnery if necessary after results.....
DaJudge

Fletcher sunk.

Your surface fire matters for this tournament so fire away.
Okie

Torp's to Akitsuki Rolls: (2d6)     
Guns at yuk. Rolls: (4d6)         
Okie

Phenominal shooting there Judge.  Congratulation's!!   Shocked  Sad
Okie
Next turn I'll blow you out of the water!! Twisted Evil  Twisted Evil
DaJudge

Crap, I was afraid of that, didn't want to lose Akitsuki but hey, I can't complain.

Good game Okie, luck was on my side with the torpedoes and AA.
Okie

I get another chance at you, to get a tie out of this.
Your move!
packertim

just you n me in the other bracket  

hmmm 2 usn   maybeit is not as dominant at smzller figures as everyone thought
Okie

I may get a tie out of this!
One more move as no Objective's claimed yet.
DaJudge

Yes, you're right actually except neither of us have any air this turn, they are rearming so Yukikaze moves on the objective.
DaJudge

Plus, as far as I know, as soon as you have no surface ships, the game ends, objectives are irrelevant if not taken.

That was a another question was if you get a point value for destroying the enemy surface fleet?
Okie

DANG your right I can't contest the objective!!

Good fight!! I hope that I get another go at you! Twisted Evil  Very Happy  Very Happy
Again Congratulation's!!!
Okie
DaJudge

Thanks Okie, good game!

In summary-

Okie lost USS Cleveland-16, USS Fletcher-7, Dauntless-13

DaJudge lost Akitsuki x2- 20

Not sure if objectives matter or not for means of next round pairings but none were taken unless destruction of opponents surface fleet has a point value.
