Whoa, guys. I think both of you skipped the part in the rules where it says that you can only have four planes per side per sector...
|
USS Virginia BB 13
|
Well I can have up to 5 planes on my air base and I can have as many planes as I want as long as I can land them on carriers. so, are you saying I can't attack the same sector with more than 4 planes at the same time? I'll have to look for this in the rules in the morning.Yyyaaawwwwnnn. 
|
EvilKobra
|
That's right...
|
swarbs
|
yeah, but the Baltimore's aborted nothing, the Betty's all missed and the Zeke's didn't even fire, no one profited from the whole thing, it doesn't seem like you need to do it over
|
USS Virginia BB 13
|
I just found it on page 16. it has to be one of the worst rules in this game. "Lets go attck pearl harbor sink the Amarican pacific fleet with our air planes" "good idea but we can only attack with four squadrons"  oh well its only a game right? 
|
USS Virginia BB 13
|
I know what you're thinking, did I roll for initiative or not. Well to tell you the trueth in all the confusion I kinda lost track myself. But seeing as how this is the Imperial Japanesse Navy one of the largest in the world, you got to ask you're self one question, Do I have cleen underware on? well do ya punk?

Zeke #1 move to B5 and strafe if you're PBY doesn't move there.
My last zeke will attack you're PBY if it moves. Unless it moves to B5 then it will do nothing.
|
Masterchief

my PBY will do nothing
My Fletchers will each take defensive fire on a different EB Val

Different from the land game, in WaS the winner of initiative always goes second. Not sure that effects your game so far but there is no choice involved in initiative.

Not necessarily, you may want to go first to take advantage of Smoke Screen, Pursuit Ship.

You may want to, but that doesn't make it legal...

The Fletchers only have 6 AA dice. Might want to re-roll.

Never mind, then.
So that's why so many things seemed different about this match.

What'd I say about Sprague? 
Spraguified Fletchers are EEEEEEEEEVIL!
With a bit of luck, it's an SPRmatch! (ague vs uance)

I spent about three hours for two days trying to come up with a build that could beat 8 Fletchers, 2 Baltimores and 1 Wildcat. I guess I came pretty close to the guessing what Masterchief was gonna build. But the only build I had that won more than one time was the build I brought to the match. of course I missed the five little words on page 16 in the rule book.  I knew I should have gone with 4 Myokos and a Subchaser and prayed I got lucky with Long Lances.
|
EvilKobra
|
Well, now it's my turn to suffer. I can't really come up with a good build to counter that monstrosity either.

I'm just glad both of you are on the other side of the bracket.
