[seth4god]

He used the same German opening in both our games. Let’s see how we both respond and where he goes from here.

[wheatbeer]

Heheh, well hopefully one of us wins, or at least loses in an educational way  :lol:

[seth4god]

Well, in that case. I hope I’m the one that wins and you’re the one that loses in an educational way.  :-P

[arathorn]

I’m going to use my LL reroll in 97.

A:

Sub
Rolls: 1@2; Total Hits: 01@2: (5)surprise attack
The rest = 2 hits if sub misses - but if sub hits, one of your units will die.

That determines if you roll @3 or @4 in defense.

[arathorn]

Defense

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

[wheatbeer]

Why are you rolling @4 for defense?

[arathorn]

Because you have a sub and cruiser. Since I have a dd, they roll together.

[wheatbeer]

I am very confused here.

There is no dd in SZ97 on either side.

Also, I sent in way more firepower than 2 low luck hits.

Are you looking at a different game?
