OK.  I’ve never seen this happen before.

Something went totally crazy when I concluded my combat moves.  First MARTI dice went into a crazy loop with the bombing raid.  I had to keep clicking on OK like 100 times before it stopped flashing.  Then it didn’t show my rolls in the naval combat.  When I saw I got zero hits I thought it must be a mistake, and that my dice just didn’t roll, but I checked my email and sure enough I got zero hits and you hit with all but one.

That sucks in itself, but now that craziness my whole game is frozen.  I can’t do anything.  I can’t do non-combat, I can’t click on edit game.  Nothing.

Any ideas?

I’ll post it.  Maybe you try opening it and see if you can get anything to work.

Hold on.

[MarshmallowofWar]

Just redo it from the start.

[MarshmallowofWar]

Wow, odd dice there in sea zone 25. Sorry about that.

I missed that the fighters could make it! I’m clearly tired.

Going to sleep. Will resume in the AM.

[StuckTojo]

Just so I understand, you’re saying I should just start the US’s turn over from scratch?

[MarshmallowofWar]

I just downloaded the game. It looks to me like sea zone 25 is in combat waiting for response on whether or not to continue. If I press “Retreat”, it moves to non-combat immediately. Maybe the combat window just shifted focus?

[MarshmallowofWar]

Ok, the odds of you not getting a hit at all in that round of combat appears to be 2/3 * 2/3 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 2/3 * 2/3 * 2/3, or about .03%. When you combine that with the odds of my units getting four hits, it’s an astronomical probability of outcome in the less than .01% realm.

If you’re not able to continue the game, I’m fine with giving you a mulligan on the turn. Obviously I would hate for the outcome to reverse itself, but meh, it’s just a game.

[StuckTojo]

Hmm, what you say makes sense.  I seem to be missing a screen asking for casualties.

Tell you what, I’m no fan of mulligans.  I’m just going to do the US’s turn over and edit in the bombing raid and the sz 25 casualties.  It’s a back-breaker for me, but such is AAA.

Stay tuned.

[StuckTojo]

OK, so when I downloaded the file above the screen actually came up asking for casualties!?!?

Obviously something went awry there between AAA and MARTI dice.

I can use the above file and continue with the game.  I’m going lose two fighters and two subs, so I don’t have to move a carrier into a suicide position.

The math was annoying me, so I did a full workout. The chance of you missing with all seven shots and me hitting four out of five is 32/69984, or .000045%.

Results like this are why I’m starting to be a fan of low luck. I would propose that we try that on our next game.
