18L G40 Patryn (Axis) vs. Tizkit (Allies) +30

I’m taking ANZAC all in on 42. How do you want me to apply hits if they are subs vs fighters/destroyer.

I’m not super savvy with saving/posting mid battle, and also it’s going to be messy because it will want me to assign the sub hits before it will even do the other rolls…

How about we just do the rolls on the forum turn by turn? I’m assuming the dice roller still works but haven’t used it in a while.

Anyway, I’m out for tonight and have to go find out how to use the forum dice roller again because I forget the function.

Testing the forum dice roller…

:aaa 1@2 1@3 1@4:

Looks like the forum roller doesn’t work. Going to try my best to post in between. Hopefully I don’t botch anything.

2 hits from subs and 1 from fighter. I damaged the carrier and battle ship in order to move forward already. (not sure why but it won’t let you move forward until you select sub hits)

Sorry, was trying to get it done when you were online yesterday but couldn’t decide on how to continue and then guests arrived. Anyway decided to press on, 3 more hits, one from a sub.

There’s actually 3 hits if you read through the history. What’s showing on the screen when you open the file are the two plane hits only. Unfortunately Triple A forces the choice of the sub hit before the fighter rolls happen. At that point I assumed most likely 2 hits total and if it were me I would want to keep the destroyer alive to negate surprise strike on next round.

On this round there should be no surprise strike so all of my rolls should happen simultaneously but unfortunately the game doesn’t display it like that… so I had to pick a casualty not knowing what the fighter rolls would be and an argument could be made for either the cruiser or destroyer.

However I believe Triple A is smart enough to still give you a roll for the cruiser since you have a destroyer present.

So I think here’s where we’re at:

• there’s still 3 hits to be chosen, in this case I’m thinking the beat choice would be to take the destroyer and 2 planes. If that’s the case then I will have to create an edited version of the file since I took the cruiser when I didn’t know the end result.
• we haven’t done your defense rolls yet and you should roll for everything. I believe the game will do this properly but if not I’ll make sure you get a roll for the cruiser before moving ahead.

BTW, I did a trial run and Triple A understands there is no surprise strike, so all of your units will get a defensive roll including the cruiser I took as a casualty placeholder. After your defensive rolls I’ll post the file so you can see it, and then if necessary I’ll create an edited file with whatever units you chose to be remaining to finish off the 3rd round of combat. (since I don’t think you can edit mid-combat I’ll have to go back to the file from the start of the ANZAC turn and kill off the units pre-combat)

Still need to know how you want the 3x hits applied though.
