13L G40 wheatbeer (Axis) vs Gamerman01 (Allies +10)

[gamerman01]

Scramble to 97?

[wheatbeer]

no scramble

[gamerman01]

I appreciate the quick response

[gamerman01]

Haven’t played you before, so I’ll point out that the proper order of combat is

1. SBR
2. Amphibious assaults
3. All others

Triple A doesn’t enforce, so we have to remember this ourselves.  It can make a big difference, occasionally, and is a good thing if players always observe this rule

Attacking Ethiopia first, then…

[gamerman01]

I’m sorry, but it doesn’t appear that you got the tough version of the Italians this game….
They couldn’t score a single hit anywhere…  :|

[wheatbeer]

Order of combat’s no problem.

Italy is already the Axis stepchild, so they’ll hardly notice the shame  :lol:

[gamerman01]

Yeah  :-)
Well I’m relieved because sometimes they’re strong and a pain - I often let 97 and 95 go, but I also often scramble G1

[wheatbeer]

Italy’s sub hit.

Since there’s no safe landing zone, I don’t want to assume OOL.

[gamerman01]

Right - one minute while I take a look

[gamerman01]

Your sub does not have surprise strike capability, so I shouldn’t have to choose until I see the rest of your dice.
Stupid Triple A does it wrong.
Ask me again after you roll the rest.  At least I have no defending subs to foul things up (it rolls them before it should)

[gamerman01]

Oh - you need to choose one now though to continue - right -

take off the destroyer for now, but I have the right to change that choice depending on the rest of your roll.  Choose the destroyer for now because Triple A is incorrectly making you.

Or, roll it on the forum and we’ll edit for the results later - either way.

[gamerman01]

I appreciate playing with people who want to play the game right, and it already seems like you are that kind of guy - thanks

Really wish they would have fixed the improper battle sequence with subs in fleet battles in Triple A……

[wheatbeer]

The sub implementation is frequently a problem  :|

I will roll the rest of my attack in tripleA.

If you wouldn’t have lost the dd seeing the rest of the attacking dice, then we can switch to forum dice.

[wheatbeer]

• the rest of round 1’s attack dice I mean

[wheatbeer]

Yikes … all 5 other dice hit … so I guess OOL doesn’t matter.

[gamerman01]

@wheatbeer:

Yikes … all 5 other dice hit … so I guess OOL doesn’t matter.

OK, I won’t feel guilty for UK1 then  :lol:
