@miamiumike:

I suppose that was supposed to be in another thread. Your last move was merely hours ago.

[miamiumike]

[KionAAA]

After I got diced this hard, I use my low-luck-roll in the battle at SZ 92. Let me just check how the dice in the forum work.

[KionAAA]

Ok, I think I got it.

First Round:

British:
2 Fighter and 1 Strategic Bomber = 10 damage.
That is 1 hit and 1@4

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

Italy:
1 Cruiser and 1 Battleship = 7 damage
That is 1 hit and 1@1

Rolls: 1@1; Total Hits: 01@1: (6)

[KionAAA]

Surviving units:
1 british Fighter, 1 british strat. Bomber
1 damaged italian Battleship (and two spectating transporters)

I do not retreat.

Round 2

British:
1 Fighter and 1 strat. Bomber = 7 damage.
That is 1 hit and 1@1 which doesn’t need to be rolled as 1 hit is sufficient.

Italy:
1 battleship = 4 damage.
That is 1@4

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

[KionAAA]

Battle is over, surviving units: 1 british bomber
Casualties for british: 2 fighter
Casualties for Italy: 1 cruiser, 1 battleship and 2 transports.

Battle score for attacker is 26.

[miamiumike]

Yeah, I really messed up there - may have lost the game truthfully. That is what happens when you make a turn too fast….only thing saving me was getting lucky in 96. Not even sure that will be enough. I guess killing as many planes as I did helps…

[miamiumike]

I will use the map you sent and make the changes - where does the British bomber land?

[KionAAA]

Well, that went better. Lets hope it was worth it.
With this result, I would
a) choose differently on the casualties in SZ 96 (destroyer and retreat after round 1)
b) move differently in the NCM-Phase and place the IC in egypt (probably).

I will deliver a savegame with edited NCM, will you let me choose a different outcome in SZ 96, too?

[miamiumike]

Hmmmm…you bring up an interesting question. While you can reroll one combat per the LL rules, are you allowed to also then change the outcome of another battle (sz96). While I would agree that NCM and placement are fair game - they can always be changed really before the start of the next turn - I am not sure about the combat in sz96.

I will be honest and say I am not sure how that is ‘supposed’ to be handled.

[KionAAA]

I think thats a problem, too.
The only way I see this is: we have to agree on it. :)

As I said, I’m fine with not getting the tactical bomber back.
I got to shoot a second round and while I rolled bad, I had a chance - although with a win in SZ 92, I would have retreated either way as I no longer needed a blocking destroyer.

I’ll let give you my edited file, you may choose to edit the tactical bomber back, he would have landed with the fighter in egypt.

[miamiumike]

Well - I’m not out for blood here, so I think we will add back the tac bomber - even though it may cost me the game in the end - but it seems like the right thing to do :)
