Jercules (Axis) vs. BigBadBruce (Allies)

[BigBadBruce]

Wow, how can I be more cursed in that naval battle?!?

I think you didn’t do it right for Caucasus. Please could you double check, I think I have 3 units defending.

[BigBadBruce]

Oups… nevermind. Fool me, I didn’t scroll down enough. I didn’t see first round all battles was rolled on first post.

Defenses will be rolled afted hit allocation (battle has important strategic issue)

I’ll do the same at z33 against Japan, I’ll send 4Subs. So you can annonce your hit allocation in advance if you want.

I’ll take 1 hit on the carrier, 1 on a cruiser.

Cr and AC sunk.

Rolls: 1@3 2@4; Total Hits: 11@3: (6)2@4: (2, 6)

[BigBadBruce]

Now seems pretty obvious that you would take Cr before a BB, so here it is :

#1 z33 - Round 2
ATT : 3Subs (sneak attack)
Rolls: 3@2; Total Hits: 13@2: (6, 3, 2)

DEF : Cr + 2Danted BB (if not sunk before)
Rolls: 1@3 2@4; Total Hits: 31@3: (1)2@4: (3, 1)

[BigBadBruce]

1 hit, so Cr was sunk before it could cause hit against sub. Therefore, I can give a try to sink a BB

#1 z33 - Round 3
ATT : Sub (sneak attack)
Rolls: 1@2; Total Hits: 01@2: (6)
DEF : 2 Danted BB
Rolls: 2@4; Total Hits: 12@4: (6, 1)
