@Panther Can I have a cup of Java? :)

[FMErwinRommel]

Thanks Panther. I removed the old Java and installed the latest, both 32 and 64-bit, in order for it to work in the Triplea launcher, and marti test dice worked.

[Panther]

@FMErwinRommel

You are welcome :smiley:

Actually you don’t need both Java versions.
As you are on a 64bit Windows you only need the 64bit-TripleA-installation as well as the 64bit Java.

In case you installed the 32bit TripleA version, you would need the 32bit Java, too.

I recommend that you use 64bit versions of both on your system. You can uninstall the 32bit versions, then.

Scramble planes in S. Italy against sz97 Taranto?
You have 2 Ita ftrs and a Ger TB. Attacking w/ dd, cr, cv, 3 ftrs & TB.
Decided to try Taranto for a change. Usually attack Ita army in Tobruk instead.

[Desert_Admiral]

@FMErwinRommel No scramble

[FMErwinRommel]

Crappy dice. Lost all attackers in Eng Cha and didn’t sink the Ger BB, didn’t kill any Italians in Ethiopia, didn’t sink the Italian fleet on round 1. That’s why I wanted to hit the Ger BB with all available planes in UK instead of diverting a ftr to Taranto.

Ger & Ital rolled far above average and Brit rolled far below. Except Brit took no loss in sz96, where it could afford to have lost a sub. Now Ger BB can go home and repair and Italy can threaten Egypt in 2 turns. This starts me off at an immediate disadvantage.

[Desert_Admiral]

@FMErwinRommel It could’ve come out great. With the fighters in Scotland gone, I was a bit surprised with Taranto especially with BB and 2 subs there. Hard call.

[FMErwinRommel]

I can accept one bad dice battle in a turn, but 2 extremely bad and one below average is like going back to the first Italian round and second German round in our first game.

[Desert_Admiral]

@FMErwinRommel 1 hit on French fleet in 97. OOL? Sub and strat attacking

I also lost to Fr fleet when I played Italy in our first game and skimped on the attack. I was delayed in responding because I just crushed Dawg in 32253. Took London and he can’t get it back, so game will be over next turn. He had bad luck for much of the game.
