Absolutely no rush, George! We'll be out of pocket for holidays, too so let's just plan on revisiting this in January. Thanks! I definitely want to avail myself of your expertise! |

That's very kind of you, George! Yes, I'd like to do that sometime! I'm in Texas so Central Time. How long do you think we'll need to allot for this tutorial/overview? Let me know and we'll get something scheduled. So maybe we 'pause' our current game until then? I hate to just quit in the middle. It would be nice to finish, but I fear my clumsy play to this point is slowing us down. You will win in the end, no doubt, but it would do me well to learn the game and finish the session. Let's work out a time by email. Thanks again! |

I should add, you won't fully learn the rules w/o playing. They are not too complicated, but as you're discovering, there are many details that aren't readily grasped. |

Okay, I'm clearly not getting this game, so I'll just resign. I probably wasn't ready to play after just reading the rules once. I really should have played a FTF game first, but tough to find an opponent around here. Anyway, thanks for all your patience. Sorry for not being a great opponent. Good luck in the rest of the event! |

BTW. The attack was 8:8, not 8:7 (my defense is 5). And since it's bocage, the first casualty is ignored, so it would have been only 2 CPs. As to your earlier question, there is no AV. Resignations are permitted. Note that your attack on Troarn hit an area with low defense value. The problem is that that also means you then have low defense in response to counter-attacks and bombardments. And remember, next turn is cloudy, so my attacks won't be penalized with a -2 drm. |

Hate to raise another problem, but the 101 can't move to Pont l'Abbe. See 8.34. Any unit starting in a contested area can only move to a free area (armor can keep going after that). Since Pont l'Abbe is contested, you can't move there. |

For some reason I had it in my mind that I had to control a bridge in order to cross it. So wow, that changes EVERYTHING. Thanks for your continued patience with me. I'm just getting the rules down like I had hoped. Let me press on with the attack into A33 based on this additional information |

No. Allies don't need to roll 6's all the time to seize bridges, although you do in this case due to fresh defender and flooded boundary. However, that's not the end of the assault. You can move across an enemy-held bridge. If the other space is undefended, you just capture it. Otherwise, it affects the DV of the defending space. Take a look at Case C on the DV chart. Attacking in to Isigny without capturing the bridge first will result in a +3 to DV due to Case C -- enemy held bridge, flooded boundary, crossing bridge for mandatory assault. Total DV is 3 +1 for terrain, +3 for Case C = 7. If you captured the bridge first, it would be 5 instead. Also, if you do not fail the attack roll, you then own the bridge. [attack from all 3 units in grandcamp would be 9:7. If you roll anything above a -2 net difference, you get the bridge. Same general principle applies at St. Mere. The defense is 8 unless you grab the bridge first. |

Naval and air bombardment does not advance the impulse track. If you look at the marker, it displays that you move the impulse marker back with naval/air. That being said, you already used ETF to bombard Bayeux. So you'll have to redo the turn. |

Another thing for you to remember. Under the AH rules, air bombardments do not advance the impulse track. Under the L2 rules that we're using, naval bombardments don't either. That means these are free impulses that don't move the impulse track. And if used early, there's no risk of changing the weather. Another note. The next day is going to be cloudy. Something to be think about as the -2 penalty for my attacks is gone. And my movement is up one. |

My math was wrong in reaching 22. You had one more D1 unit in Omaha than I thought. So can save 2 more, though, by placing the 2d Omaha depot in Grandcamp and refitting the 3 there for 3, and one of the units in Omaha for 3, totalling 6 and saving 2. Otherwise OK. Note re Air supply. Doesn't affect the result, but you need a 6 for each unit. Start at +2 for German control. Then -1 for partially overcast. You rolled a 6, so outcome's the same. |

One more note on depots. They can go wherever you can trace supply through that country's controlled space. For example, if you had capture Douvres, the Sword depot could be placed in Bretteville to really reduce costs. Not an option as I still control Douvres |
| 202 | 10/24/2023 1:09:00 PM | Turn 1 | George Young | Message |
General correction before you go too far. Refitting a disrupted unit costs 2, not 1. So the Juno refit costs 9, not 5. Omaha is really expensive (10), but see below about depot placement. Also, it costs 1 extra for adjacent areas (or 2 extra for 2 away, etc). So at Gold, it will cost you 3 for the units in Gold, and 6 for the units in Bretteville, for a total of 9, not 6. Omaha. Don't refit the rangers, they're gone now that Omaha is cleared. Note that depots don't have to go in the beach hexes. You can place the Gold one in Bretteville, although it doesn't change the cost. Or one in Omaha and one in Grandcamp. That's how you reduce the distance penalty. One more: Do your air supply first. You still have a +3 in a free area. Omaha depots are worth 9 each, not 8. And I really can't figure out how you get enough supply to buy 3 impulses. You start with 8 Use all of the depot value at Juno, Gold and Utah. Save 5 at Omaha (if you place 1 depot in Granville) and Save 9 at Sword (by placing depot in Merville). That leaves a total of 14 plus the original 8 for 22. Buying 2 impulse (back to 0) will leave you with 2 in reserve. |

You can't attempt bridge repair. Must be done from the active area (which is Juno approach). Also, if you could, you would have succeed +6 for 2 free areas, -1 for repair attempt. Anything but a 1 works. |

yeah probably should have used the adv there. oh well, no worries. overcast just means i lose my +1 air support and you no longer face interdiction for moving 2+ areas? |

Wasn't sure if you were going to use the advantage. Weather turns cloudy with the DR of 6 |

Note: Make sure you look at the defense strength calculation. You seem to be forgetting some of the defense modifiers. Also. Artillery. If it moves, it cannot attack or support an attack. If it doesn't move, it can bombard on its own, or support an attack. You've gotten that wrong a couple of times now. |

Okay, sorry I'm making so many mistakes. Feel free to proceed and just reset those bridges. |

Re: bridge rolls. With the revised attack strength and the Defense at 4, your die rolls do not produce an overrun. Net of 4, meaning defender goes to d2 and retreats to Verson. That means no bridge rolls. Had 50/xx remained in Gold to bombard, you would have an overrun. |

A couple of things. 50/xx can move, but it doesn't contribute to the attack strength, which is 8. You could fire the 50/xx in support (raising the attack strength to 9, but it has to stay in Gold to do that). Defense strength is 4, not 3. 2 for unit, 1 for area, 1 for assault over bridge. No change to the outcome. Still an overrun. Armor has 2 MF left. Infantry has 1 |

Okay, appreciate the honest discussion. Seems like you might just roll that well again, so I guess I'll just keep playing. I don't really understand the game well enough yet to form any kind of long term plan. I just open the file, look at the map, and do whatever seems good at the time. Probably should have played a FTF game first. Appreciate your continued patience with me. I'll post a new vlog here in a minute Oh, and what do you mean by "2 ID turn next turn?" |
| 167 | 10/21/2023 1:38:00 PM | Turn 1 | George Young | Message |
The advantage is a security blanket for whoever has it. Protection against a bad roll. Some value to keeping it, but again, hard to judge. I've seen games where it is barely used and others where it bounces back and forth a bit. |
| 166 | 10/21/2023 1:36:00 PM | Turn 1 | George Young | Message |
You can use the advantage at any time for a reroll. As to the wisdom of it, hard to say. That artillery strike wrecked a lot of the Omaha force for 2 turns. You do get the 2 ID there next turn, but the force in the middle really isn't scaring me. So that might call for a reroll. Also depends upon what else you have planned. Brits haven't done anything yet and we're already at impulse 5 (where odds of day end or clouds start getting better). |
