WAS Grand Final - Gross Admiral Raeder Vs. EvilKobra (WON) 
It's time for the Grand Final.
The new limit is 220 pts. Each of the four objectives is worth 60 pts and you win at 180 pts.
We play historical limits and each ground-base can hold 7 aircraft.
The map for the Grand Final:
Send me your fleets gentlemen  .
edit: oops. Once again I forgot that EK doesn't need to 
|
EvilKobra

Nice map! The fleet limit / VP mismatch is interesting, I would've thought you'd want a deathmatch instead of an objective rush. Especially since historical limits are going to make it tough for the Germans to field more than a few big ships... we'll see.
Herr Raeder, wurden Sie mir Ihre Flotte zeigen, bitte?

You can't have over 6 Karl Galsters. I deleted your previous choice, but you'll have to change this one too.

Historical Limits.
|
Gross Admiral Raeder
|
What? 
We played Historical limits last game, and I had more then 6 DD
I can't seem to find my Rule book right now (still packed)
I don't recall Karl Gastor being restricted.
So Basically My entire Navy is restricted aside from My Planes and U boats
GREAT 
|
Gross Admiral Raeder
|
It says Specifically in the rule Book. Classes that have 4 or less are restricted. You can have as many of any other Vessel Not on the list.
Karl Gastor is not on that list.
I just checked the rule book advanced rules
|
Gross Admiral Raeder
|
i will put something else together then.
this ruling hurts me even more
|
EvilKobra
|
I don't think we should be too strict on this, he's already handicapped enough. Besides, the Typ 1936 destroyers weren't much different from the 1934s.
As far as I'm concerned he can play with this build, and I'm not too fussed with the whole historical accuracy business anyhow (the Kriegsmarine was never meant to engage the US Navy on equal ground).
|
EvilKobra
|
If ND agrees to waive the (IMO unfair) destroyer historical limit, this will be my fleet:
SBD Dauntless flights Able, Baker and Charlie
USS North Carolina
USS Washington
and, of course,
USS Wisconsin
for a total of 219 points.
My deployment roll:
Rolls: (2d6)  
Initiative roll for turn 1:
Rolls: (2d6)   +2
|
NeuralDream
|
Since your opponent agrees I waive the limit of Galsters. We'll call the two additional destroyers Typ1934 
|

Thanks ND

Yay, someone is cheering for me!
I thought by now everyone would be looking forward to Spruance being crushed like a bug. I know I would, if I wasn't playing him.
Is this a bad time to say I usually always play as the Kriegsmarine and before admirals were even assigned I was secretly hoping Dönitz would win the tourney?

LIke I said, EK will Ride the IOWA's till the end.

Feb. 18 1943
Location,Atlantic Ocean, Off the Coast of the Azores
0600 hrs Local time
The Kriegsmarine Discovers 3 American Battleships, that find themselves Seperated from their Fleet after enduring the full force of Hurricane Cindy for 2 days and Nights, and Continual Harassment from German U Boats.
This could be the chance that the Germans Have been Waiting for. If Admiral Donitz could some how Sink The USS Wisconsin, Germany May have a chance to win the War.
The Father Land is Projected to Launch Several Ships From their Z Plan, including a Fleet size Carrier and a Ramped Up Turpitz come July.
But if Admiral Donitz Fails, Germany will most likely have to Fight a Prolonged war with Amerika that it Dearly Does Not want.
Will the kriegsmarine Surpass the odds Stacked agains them?
Will the USN ever be stopped?

Woah, sorry - my bad. When doing the map I sort of assumed you'd claim the objective.  Fixing it right away.
Do I re-roll NC's attack then? (I could have crippled a destroyer, y'know... )

Actually, I can't even hit it with Extended Range, and it's a miss against either BB. So I guess there's no need.

WHile trying to get his fleet Organized, Donitz has lost the init. and could be falling into a Trap.
The North Carolina Has suffered Damage to her Portside Fire Control center but is still in the fight.
These 2 fleets are about to come face to face with each other. There are going to be alot of dead and wounded Sailors in the near future.
