Are you sure? I never received it.
Anyway, you can go on I guess. I'm sure you are both honest players  .

I'll go to bed very early tonight (10.30!), because I go gliding tomorrow 7am  . Will you be able to do your own MS paint editing? See the other matches to see how the others have done it.
I'll be back to the forumini in about 20 hours from now.
|
Gross Admiral Raeder
|
do you know how to do the map?
|
The Mighty A
|
I can do a rudimentary edit, but uploading it is beyond me.

Uploading mapsGet a free photobucket account (http://photobucket.com/) and upload the map there. Then post a link using [img] tags.
Goodluck!
|
The Mighty A
|
Thanks. I 'should' be able to run the maps. Keep a check on it to make sure I don't forget something.
Your movement phase (and you can do your air phase too).
This should be the map after setup and your Koln's moving:
|
Gross Admiral Raeder
|
Scharnhorst D9
Kolhn B7
U 510-2 C6
U510-1 E6
Kondor c4
BTW this is the first time I have ever played with the Ship torps in the gun Phase. Not a fan but I am open to new Ideas.
|
The Mighty A
|
Here is the map, comments below:
I will be out until later, so you can proceed with your air attack phase. Since none of the ships are in range of each other and your Kondor can't attack my Ambra, I will go ahead and attack with my Ambra. This way, you can do your submarine phase as well. If this is a problem, I can re-roll for my Ambra later.
Ambra at U510:
Rolls: (3d6) 
Initiative for turn 2:
Rolls: (2d6)
|
The Mighty A

That should be Ambra at U510-2, not that it matters.
|
Gross Admiral Raeder

ok
My Kondor will launch his Missle @ Luca #3
Rolls: (9d6)
My Uboat will return fire and use Wolf pack for a +1 against Ambra

U510-2 D7 Your AMbra is there correct?
U510-1 E7
Kolhn B5
sorry bout my slowness
|
The Mighty A
|
No problem, I was afraid that you had dropped out. My Ambra is in D7.
For attacking, don't forget that surface ships now fire their torpedoes in the surface attack phase and that the torpedo phase is just for submarines. Also, destroyers are immune to extended range attacks and the main guns for a battleship have to roll sixes to hit a destroyer (sixes still count as two successes and the 2nd and 3rd guns fire without a penalty).
Map after second movement (you realize that you were supposed to leave your submarines next to the Lucas so that I could use sub hunter ) :

The Mighty A

My surface attack:
Luca1 guns at Koln Rolls: (5d6)
Luca1 torpedo at Koln Rolls: (1d6)
Luca2 guns at Koln Rolls: (4d6)

2 hits on Koln, time to finish it off.

Off to Davy Jones' Locker for the Koln. Unfortunately, D'Aosta2 barely missed the Scharnhorst.
Your surface attack phase.

I think that I hear 'taps' starting to play. You move first.
|
Gross Admiral Raeder
|
Will you update the map?
Taps, whose it playing for?
|
The Mighty A
|
I think that Taps is playing for the person that is about to be attacked by the Luca swarm  . Well, maybe not.
Here is the updated map:
|
Gross Admiral Raeder
|
O ok well then,
My Scharnhorst will move into the Northern Objective Space B6

Summary
Scharnhorst sends Luca #1 + 4 to the bottom reguardless of what happens to Kondor
If kondor is aborted Luca # 2 is Sunk by u-510-1
If Kondor is not aborted, Luca #2 is just Crippled
I can do this all over if you would like.
Waiting on your AA Against Kondor
And Hoping you wiff with all those torps. This is kinda hairy for Scharnhorst.
LOL
Remember that Luca #1 is Crippled from last round so it gets 1 less Torp.
Any q's feel free to ask.
If Kondor is Aborted I will claim Northern Objective unless you sink Scharnhorst. You will claim Southern Objective.
|
Gross Admiral Raeder
|
This game depends on your torps and AA fire
|
Gross Admiral Raeder
|
Good Luck! 
|
Gross Admiral Raeder
|
I almost forgot. If you do Not Abort The Kondor, Luca #4 also is crippled so 1 less torp. from her as well I believe
|
The Mighty A
|
It does not matter for torps whether I abort the Kondor or not since a Luca has only 1 torpedo at range 1. Also, it does not matter how many torpedoes I use since I miss with all of them anyway . Maybe this turn...
Luca4 AA at Kondor:
Rolls: (4d6)
|
The Mighty A

Kondor aborted!! Inspired by this success, all Lucas in range fire at the Scharnhorst.

Gross Admiral Raeder

Good game dude, With the Kondor Aborted I have Sunk your 3 vessels able to contest the Objective in the North, I believe I have won Due to the 35pts from Objectives and I have sunk 2 Cruisers 3 Destroyers and a Sub. I am pretty sure that is at least 35 more points in my Favor.
Good game
Am I wrong in this Assumption?
|
The Mighty A
|
Note: just because my men are inspired does not mean that they have learned to shoot.
Totals after round 3
Gross Admiral Raeder: 100 pts (objective + 4 Lucas + 2 D'Aosta + 1 Ambra)
The Mighty A: 46 pts (objective + 1 Koln)
The winner is Gross Admiral Raeder
Congratulations on a game well played. It was quite enjoyable .
Will you be participating in the land minis tournament?

Gross Admiral Raeder

A Question for you.
How come you Seperated your DD's from your Cruisers? I would have kept them together, Shoot w/ cruisers and then Pop smoke.
I think you only popped smoke 1 Time(at the end cause you could)
Did you forget About Smoke? or was it Had Initiative 1st 2 rounds?
Thank you Again for the Game. I was on edge with all those Lucas at the start. All I could think about was a Board wide Smoke Screen.
And My subs are going to die quickly. I think that is why I Missiled the DD instaed of Cruiser.
|
The Mighty A
|
If there is an opening, I will participate in the land minis. I have more experience in that area.
The idea behind separating my DD's from the cruisers was that the DD's would be free to hunt your subs and claim the southern objective. I counted on my two cruisers and the Ambra to sink the Scharnhorst. I did not use smoke because it would prevent the DD that used it from firing its guns and torpedoes. That and I haven't had experience using a ship that could lay a smoke screen. So, I wasn't completely sure when to lay it.
If you had kept your Scharnhorst back, I was going to advance past the objectives and then lay a smoke screen. But when you brought the Scharnhorst up, I had to scrap that idea.
Very good match. Thanks. I gained a lot of experience from this game.
