I guess we’ll have to do the OOL round-by-round in western germany. Hoping for a miracle, this might’ve been one blunder too far for my poor axis troops…

Yeah was planning on that. Good luck in 6 forces me to ask you OOL as well: on round 2 of combat, it was 2 subs 2 dds vs 1 dd 3 figs, and my subs missed but both my dds hit, OOL?

[Adam514]

Still Western Germany can go either way.

Yeah, this has been a really weird game with the dice. Seems that every important battle has swung one way or the other. I got away with one in western germany and got punished in sz6 and kenya.

The carrier and destroyers have to stay in sz112, units can’t be moved in both the combat and non-combat phases (this is a triplea bug). Technically it’s the same situation with the transport in sz16, but go ahead and leave it in sz25 as you could have moved it there anyway.
