Taskforce 57 you need to lose 10pt's, you have 60 not 50.

Good catch Okie. Nice to throw an extra cruiser or sub in....  I'm sure it wasn't intentional.

Hello!
seems you deploy first.
I am not sure how to proceed. ou have 10 points too much...(with 60 points I would have opted for a BB too  )
if you simply drop an unit, its a bit unfair (I would drop the cruiser as the ellcat can't touch the Sub...)
Should I add another 10pointer? or should we make new builds?
JUDGE!!!!!

Gross Admiral Raeder

ps...
whats the best times for you to play... your about 6 hours ahead of EST
I can play from 10am-3pm most week days + sat/sun is very open.
|
Richter von Manthofen
|
I usually can look here the whle day - weekends are usually familiy time weekdays are better.
my setup:
either D1 or D11 with both Javelins -you rolled higher, so you choose side and setup first... - depending on your setup I have the above options?
|
Richter von Manthofen
|
Oh I see - you are at the left side, so I am at D11
INIT: Rolls: (2d6)
|
Richter von Manthofen

You go first...
|
Task Force 57

|
Richter von Manthofen

Both Javelins move to D9
The Planes all go in the sector of your ships.
Air Defence please...

Your turn to go 1st RN...
ps...sorry, no clue how to do maps, im marking my moves on grid-paper.
|
Richter von Manthofen
|
both J-s to C7
no planes this turn
|
Task Force 57
|
scharn and koln to E3 ....
edit: I Assume that you are making smoke... cos Scharnhorst is firing on jav 1
Extended range 4
Rolls: (11d6) 
|
Richter von Manthofen
|
I assume we are playing with Ruels updat and Clarification (July 2007)
You can't use ER against DDs and BB Main Guns hit only on 6!
As I must fire first (you are Out of range) I would have fired with one Jav and the other smokes of course...
|
Task Force 57
|
then its init rolls....
( I never followed the rules update.. just used the book...my bad, thanks for the lesson)
Rolls: (2d6)
|
Task Force 57

IS there any chance of getting a couple of moves in tomorrow morning if i get up at 7am my time? .... about 1pm your time I suppose. I can put off a work meeting till 10am and thus get a few turns in early before I have to commute.
This is the worst part of online matches... the blasted time zones.

Ok, im up again:
Scharnhorst and Koln go to E5
|
Richter von Manthofen

My Javelins both go to B7. I assume you don't have LOS through the smoke from last turn.
My planes go to E5
Air defence please

Scharnhorst on swordfish

Task Force 57

swordfish aborted
Hellcat gets through
|
Richter von Manthofen
|
Hellcat at Köln: Rolls: (3d6)
I don't Smoke blocks LOS thus you can't see/attack my ships (they are out of range too if I counted the sectors correctly) If thy had stayed within the smoke you could have attacked, and if I rolled 5 or higher the damage would have been prevented, but as I am BEHIND the smoke you can't attack.
|
Richter von Manthofen
|
Hellcat misses.
You are out of LOS/Reach, so my Javlays smoke for next turn...
my init (turn 4 - no planes)
Rolls: (2d6)

rolls init... I need more coffee, still half asleep.
Rolls: (2d6)
|
Task Force 57
|
scharn and koln move to objective on E6
|
Richter von Manthofen
|
the javelins stay in the smoke - they are at range 4 - so you can't attack they again lay smoke
You score the objective  (its better when I can go first - sigh)
init for turn 5 Rolls: (2d6)

|
Richter von Manthofen
|

|
Task Force 57
|
im staying on objective...no air... surface guns time?
|
Richter von Manthofen
|
Air mission is AFTER you move...
|

|
Richter von Manthofen

....
rolls init
Rolls: (2d6)
|
Richter von Manthofen
|
Ok one Javelin down
I score the objective ...
I will retreat as I see no chance in winning the game - only thing I could achive (with a nice chance of sucess) is possibly sink the Köln... after a prolonged game, but you would probably sink my first Javelin first.
I think its quite a sucess I scored one objectice this game...
Congratulations
(note to myself - Swordfishes only in great numbers ...)
|
Richter von Manthofen
|
BTW you should have attacked with the Köln and the secondaries of Scharnhorst too
|
Richter von Manthofen
|
An addition: the Hellcat attacked three times scoring 1 hit - thats right on what one could expect...
|
Task Force 57
|
thank you for the game. you fought with the honor I expect from an RN player, bravo old chap!
ps... hrrrrrm, who needs secondary guns when your at range 3 ?
next time I will try to be more awake.
(note to self.... I must bring 109's next time, a lot of 109's)
|
Task Force 57
|
just to see what would have been the effect of the small guns
Scharnhorst Rolls: (5d6)
koln Rolls: (5d6)
|
Task Force 57
|
bugger ... 2 hits...just what I didnt expect.
anyway... good luck in the rest of the Tourney!
THE KRIEGIES GO ON TO NEXT ROUND... All Glory to the Fatherland!
|
Richter von Manthofen
|
Ok! Lets check what the concealment rolls had yielded 
Rolls: (1d6)
Rolls: (1d6)
|
Richter von Manthofen
|
Seems I hit would have been avoided - result a crippled Javelin - no real change to the outcome - though in larger games...
|
Task Force 57
|
So in conclusion:
The German navy sinks Hms javelin and knocks down a Swordfish
without loss.
Not a bad start to the campaign season... gods of dice dont fail me now!
