Looking very distressed by the ominous shape of the Graf Spee. The RAN commanders frantically call for assistance, we need a big ass crusier maybe HMAS Aussie, maybe Canberra or at least Sydney.

Call for help received. Friendly aircraft from HMS Eagle inbound. Also, Naval Intelligence reports high probability of u-boats operating in the area.

Richter von Manthofen

OK start at beginning of turn 2
My Spee is in i4

Richter von Manthofen

If I interpret the init rolls for turn 2 correctly I got 3! and you managed to roll snake eyes (2)
so you go first
But independently of YOUR move I will go to G4

Hello!
Jameson
I have achieved my objective in turn 4 (sunk 2 destroyers) - do we play along? If the game ends turn 4 the GS is surviving crippled...
if yes please tell Raevski which planes he gets in turn 5 (we already started)
Which unuits do I get turn 6?
|
Jameson

Sorry guys, I've been out of town on business.
Tactical victory for RvM.
Since the Graf Spee is crippled, I'll allow Raevski a chance to also win some points off of this Since there are Aircraft inbound. (RvM already gets a promotion for this scenario).
Allied Aircraft arriving:
1 Hurricane
1 Swordfish
Axis Turn 6 Reinforcements:
1 U-510
1 Nordmark (Remember the repair SA)
Allied Turn 7 Reinforements:
1 additional Swordfish
Good Luck guys!
|
Richter von Manthofen
|
If this is so, I will retreat (not enter) with my sub and Nordmark , there is no point as I can't realitic hit the planes...
|
Raevski
|
Where does that leave us.??
|
Jameson
|
Looks like a win for RvM then. I'll be posting new scenarios over the next couple of days.
