[Shin-Ji]

It was actually the full 20, even factoring in the 1 less damage.  I always take that into account.

[Shin-Ji]

Would you like to remove 1 Inf and save 1 PU?

[Guest]

If I repair 18 damage, I can build a maximum of 8 units (which I did). So I am unsure what the problem is.

[Shin-Ji]

Ah!  Never mind.  I’m just being punchy again, it seems.  I really need to be getting more sleep. :P

[Guest]

You need to get worse dice.  :lol:

[Shin-Ji]

So, interceptions?  Flying Tigers?

I’m assuming that I can bomb a Medium IC for 10 points, based on the existing ones’ damage limits.

I guess if you want to do a flying tiger, I’ll have to just redo the combat move (with everything the same minus the ones you hit).

You assume correctly. I want to know whether the chits can be used in this situation and whether they are used before intercept and AA. I assume they are.

[Shin-Ji]

Gamerman specified that they could be used in an SBR situation before.  Maybe in this thread?

Anyway, they would work like kamikazes - taking out the planes before any of the battles even start.  I can’t even do that in Edit Mode, so I’ll just post a new combat move once we’ve resolved all that.  You can use the Roll Dice command in TripleA, and just let me know what each one is aimed at.  If they’re all at bombers, then we can pretty much ignore that part.

[Guest]

No intercept and I am using my chits on your bombers.

[Shin-Ji]

All 5 chits?  And do you want me to roll them in TripleA?

[Guest]

On second thought I am not using an chits at all. I will rely on AA.

[Shin-Ji]

OK, so no chits, no intercept.  Got it.

[Shin-Ji]

Never mind the dice - I was closing the window but they rolled anyway.

[Guest]

If you don’t know whether a tactical bomber or a bomber needs to die, roll a die on the forum. Even/uneven 2 bombers die and otherwise it is the other situation.

[Shin-Ji]

Oh. It just let me pick.  Aren’t all AA shots resolved at the same time anyway?

If it’s an issue, I can redo - but we’d have to redo the AA too, wouldn’t we?

Not at all. AA is supposed to be rolled for each installation separately. Which is why we have to roll AA using forum dice if we attack multiple installations. However since you already rolled the dice in triple A, they count. As of right now there are two solutions. The easiest would be to use forum dice and roll a single die. 1,3,5 would mean a tactical bomber and a bomber would die and 2,4 and 6 would mean 2 bombers would die or the other way around. It is a simple and effective solution. So two planes are going to die still.

[Shin-Ji]

Oh, OK.  This has never come up for me before, actually.

What is the roll command here?
