How do you allocate the hits?

[corriganbp]

i am entitled to see my rolls before I make that decision.

you are getting very lucky in this nasty battle

[Noll]

@corriganbp:

are you sure? the manual says otherwise:

the defending player allocate the hits, puts the casualities behind the casuality paper, THEN rolls. I’m pretty sure.

[corriganbp]

dst and cruiser

Yeah I know there’s this ERROR in the book, check the DETAILED reference, really. Page 18, step3.

[corriganbp]

finally

[Noll]

also there’s not error… you REMOVE after defending, but you allocate hits before rolling, really!

[corriganbp]

very aggressive attacks this turn

[Noll]

India loses everything

(yeah Taranto was hard, a 45%, worth doing it though)

[Noll]
