13L Playoffs R1 Arathorn (Axis) vs Hobo (Allies +17) NT

[hobo]

submerge/scramble orders for z95

[arathorn]

Send both fighters up to defend the italian glory!

[arathorn]

Could you roll the 95 battle on the forum?

Triplea does the sub battles incorrectly, and since it could have an affect in this battle, being subs on both sides, I’d prefer if it was rolled on the forum, and just edited in afterwards.

Thanks!

[arathorn]

I forgot to say - sub fights! 2 hits with the Italian sub ;)

[hobo]

How?  The subs are rolled separately along with air so it should be right from all the sub/air combats I’ve seen.  But anyways.

@hobo:

in battles with subs on both sides, and where one side has a destroyer, triplea makes you select casualties before all dice are rolled, before you know the rest of what you’ll roll. This causes the player to have to choose when they really shouldn’t. It is rare, but I thank you for rolling it on here.

I made a mistake, and I am your mercy.

First I had planned to buy a dd (as can be seen in the map), attack in 95, and place it there, and follow up with German air on G1.

But then I changed my mind, and I attacked Egypt instead. When I decided to not leave the bb and cruiser in 95, I decided to instead buy a tank and a mech, but I forgot to restart the map I was working on and change my buy. So I you’re ok with it, I’ll edit it in the change of purchase, as I clearly didn’t want to leave a dd all by itself for you to just “chop up” :)

Let me know if you’re not cool with it, and I’ll put the dd back.

[arathorn]

Disregard the previous post, as I was in local mode, and no dice were rolled.

I will restart the entire italian turn and thank God that what happened in local mode wasn’t real.

[hobo]

:? :-o :| :lol:

getting all worked up already  :-D

[arathorn]

Haha.

Let’s just say that you had AMAZING, RIDICULOUSLY good dice in the local mode. It gave me a heart attack. lol

I will have to think for a while about what I should do with Italy. :)
