Had the worst dice ever I believe, so I was kinda upset about it. Hadnt post it after I played it because I was angry :) Oh well its gonna be one of those games I guess.
Vance(axis) & ErwinRommel(allies) G1940a3.9

I didn’t get it the first time I saw it either, but it doesn’t change the outcome. Instead of rolling 1 attacker die and 1 defender die over and over, first to hit does it 10 times in a row. It isn’t 20 dice being thrown at the same time - they are read as 10 pairs of dice.
On the first roll I got a 2 and you got a 5. Since I scored a hit the battle is resolved. If we had both got 4/5/6, then we would look at the second pair of dice.
On the second pair I would have got 1 and you would have got 3. In that case the tac and cruiser would both die and the tt remain. If we had both got 4/5/6 again, then we would have gone to the third pair, etc., until someone dies.
If you had got a 1 and I got a 6 on the first throw, then my tac and transport would be gone.
First to hit is a common way to resolve battles that are 1 unit against 1 unit. Otherwise we can wind up posting 1@3, 1@3, 1@3, all day long and it can get ridiculous.

Hey wait a second. I just looked at that again and made a mistake with the scramble. YOU actually scored the first hit there! hang on a sec let me look at this
-
OK so in the scramble my tac and transport were lost and your cruiser remains in z97.
That means that the tac from Southern Italy could not have attacked z92 on germany’s turn. the attack would have been 2 fig, 2 tac, 2 Bmb and scored 2 hits; you scored 1 hit. You would have lost the destroyer and cruiser and i would have lost a tac.
Here is the second round of the battle

New map?
-
Confusing isnt it, usually germany attack france and not the other way around ;)
-
Very sorry for the mix up. On the new map the Algeria fighter is gone and the W germany fighter is moved to S Italy. It doesn;t take much to confuse me.
-
Yeah I think what got me was doing the scramble as part of France’s turn and I had it in my mind that I was attacking so I naturally read off the attacker dice. sigh.

No prob, it happends. Now germany is comming barbarossa, I thought mabye it still be sea lion.

Could have been a sea lion, but not this time. Everything really does hinge on the first round with the new setup eh.

UK is far more deadly in this setup!

Yeah UK has a good chance of defending itself or making it too costly for Germany to sea lion.
