Battle for Corfu (pt. 1)

[pianobar]

Hrm, 1st blood. Perhaps we can fell those large guns, yet.

Sorry blackbrunswicker, I doubt there will be any surrenders at this point...

[blackbrunswicker]

Yeah, that's what I get for opening my big mouth. XD

How appropriate that the Italians and Austro-Hungarians start off going right for one another.

[Worktroll]

Although it's the Austrians who should be ramming

Perhaps it's just my watching NASCAR that's rubbing off. Rubbin's racin, boys.  (Although for those following that sport right now, racing hard is definitely different than just being a berk, which is what happened yesterday...but that's a story for a different area of this forum. hehe)

Looks like both of you tried to curl around behind the other - and ended up running into each other. 

For this turn, all of the Zenta'a Starboard guns will fire, as well as the fore & aft turrets.

The Marco Polo will fire it's starboard guns, it's bow guns, and the forward turreted 75mm gun from the port side,{#1 slot)  which can fire into the bow arc.

So that is 3 x 138mm + 4 x 65mm from the Zenta, and 2 x 138mm + 4 x 75mm from the Marco Polo firing this turn

I can only hope this will turn out like Lissa. I am outnumbered. That's a start.

[Lord Cameron]

And gunfire erupts....

Marco Polo vs Zenta's side
Turn 2 firing

Bow guns {Black, Yellow, blue}

2,4,2 [2] miss
11,5,2 [6] slot #6 Gun destroyed

75mm guns {black, blue, blue}

12,2,1 [2] slot #2 gun destroyed
5,2,1 [3]
9,5,5, [5] slot #5 gun destroyed
5,2,1 [4]

Zenta now has 3 guns destroyed on the starboard side, {#'s 2,5 &6} and 1 armour slot destroyed on the bow #6 slot {from last turn}

[Lord Cameron]

Turn 3 positions:

The British are in S-13 facing SW
The Austrians are in AA-15 facing N
The Italians are in E-13 facing SE
The Russians are in K-22 facing N

(all hexes listed are the center hex of the ship)

[Leaderoforcs]

Finally I get to shoot at something!

[Lord Cameron]

The Italian bow guns can shoot the Austrians at short range or shoot the  UK or Russian ship at long range

The UK bow guns can shoot the Italian or Russian ship at long range

The Russian bow guns can shoot the  UK or Italian or Austrian ship at long range

The Austrian stern guns can shoot the Italians at short range or shoot the Russian ship at long range

For these guns I need  gun targets.
(and next turn move)
Remember that the Italian ship only gives the attacker a yellow dice {not Red} when shooting at the bow/stern facing

The other Austrian & Italian guns can only target each other, and will do so

[Leaderoforcs]

I thought my bow guns couldn't hit the Austrian ship.

[blackbrunswicker]

Your 7.5 inch guns have a range of 12, so sadly I'm just in range.

And now I wait with baited breath for the results of my trading of shots with the Italian ship.

[Lord Cameron]

I thought my bow guns couldn't hit the Austrian ship.

All ships bow guns are turreted, and can fire  into either side arc facing
I have the distance at 11 hexes

[Leaderoforcs]

Check.  Please adjust firing orders to that effect, all available guns at the Austrians.

I want to hate you, but that disarming smiley face at the end of your request prevents me from doing so. XD
