Ok added back destroyer and removed the cruiser.  I also assumed you wouldn’t want to scramble in z6 but you are welcomed to roll your 2 fighters  :lol:

[hobo]

[wheatbeer]

That’s true.

And no suicide in SZ6 this time  :-D

[hobo]

lovely, 1 out of 12 @2, just about my average  :|

[hobo]

Well I will attack z54 with 3 subs and 3 fighters.  I assume you want best defense?  The fighters can only hit surface ships.

[hobo]

Actually also need to know if your subs want to fight or submerge.

[wheatbeer]

Can you roll this battle with the forum dice so that combat order follows the rules? (i.e. Japan’s sub surprise strikes, ANZACs full attack roll, Japan’s remaining defense roll)

Assuming that is done, Japanese subs will surface for round 1 of combat and I would like to choose my OOL (and future surface/submerge options) on a round by round basis.

My casualties might not be in the order of best possible defense roll (especially if the Allies roll well).

[hobo]

Combat is done right with triplea since subs have separate rolls.  Air is also rolled separately too.  So subs fight then?

[wheatbeer]

I should be able to see your full combat roll (subs and planes) before having to choose my OOL because ANZAC doesn’t get surprise strikes.

[wheatbeer]

In tripleA, I will not know how well your planes will do before potentially having to choose casualties from your submarines.

[hobo]

Ok not sure why this is so critical since I’d be happy with mutual destruction  :-P
Just remember you have to take as many hits as possible, ie if all my air hits, it must go on surface ships even if my subs hit.

Japanese subs
Rolls: 3@1; Total Hits: 03@1: (2, 2, 6)

[hobo]

anzac:
Rolls: 3@2 3@3; Total Hits: 23@2: (4, 6, 4)3@3: (5, 3, 3)

[hobo]

sigh… ok which surface ships

[wheatbeer]

Japan will lose the dd and cruiser.

[wheatbeer]

(If ANZAC had scored 3 hits combined Japan would have sunk all surface ships, then submerged in round 2 … but without rolling in order, I would have no way to know the combined roll of ANZAC)

[wheatbeer]

(Although that wouldn’t be an issue with the submarines missing, but the odds were at least one hit would come from your subs)

[hobo]

japan
Rolls: 1@2 1@3 1@4; Total Hits: 11@2: (4)1@3: (1)1@4: (5)

also let me know if subs stay second round

[hobo]

oh yeah, I lose a sub but that should be fairly obvious  :lol:

[wheatbeer]

yeah, I will surface for round 2, but that’s probably it
