I believe you've made an error early on.

How did Moscow get knocked down to 20@2 for round 2?

You opened with 19 hits which means Moscow should lost 5 aa, 1 strat, and 13 inf.

That means I should have had 24@2 for round 2

[wheatbeer]

Also, for that final round all those tactical bombers don't get to fire at 4.  Only those paired with tanks and fighters can.

[Jercules]

I was just going to post that... what should I do, reroll the whole thing? Your performance has been quite good despite my mistakes.

[Jercules]

Well, I'll finish this abortion of an attack (my apologies), and if the result is poor for you I'd be happy to reroll from scratch.

I am kinda confused, did you try and correct the mistake from round 2 by adding D rolls to round 3?

[wheatbeer]

Actually R2 was further off than I thought.

It should have been 28@2 for D

[wheatbeer]

I might end up losing Moscow anyways, but it's unacceptable for 8 of my units to disappear for a round.

I would prefer it if you rolled my extra 8@2, then start fresh with a new round 3 (taking into account any extra hits from those 8 defenders).
