lol

i did not know carrier based aircraft counted toward convoy distribution. Learned something new today. And i thought, i’m not the only one…i hope lol

Page 24 Europe, Page 23 Pacific

Each enemy warship (except for aircraft carriers) and carrierbased
air unit in the sea zone might cause the loss of 1 or more
IPCs from your income for the turn. The owners of enemy
battleships, cruisers, and/or destroyers rolls one die for each
such unit, and the owners of enemy submarines and/or air units
roll two dice for each such unit.

If the defender scrambles, the defending sub is obligated to surface and fight?

Situation

G1 Combat

a) 3 German U-boats attack UK destroyer and transport in SZ109

b) UK Elects to scramble (because there is a destroyer present)

c) Germany Rolls 3 dice, gets 1 hit, UK looses destroyer

d) UK Rolls defense 4 at 4 and 1 at 2  (note: (4 at 4) 3 from UK 1 from Scotland) UK gets 2 Hits, Germany loses 2 U-boats

What remains for next round of combat

UK transport with 2 fighters
German U-boat

Question

Can the lone U-boat kill the transport?

… except me! … who did not even know what a dice tower is for! :roll:

When they’re designed with effective soundproofing, they’re used to save marriages!  :)

Agreed!

When i was researching dice tower construction i stumbled across examples of cheap and easy dice towers. One was even made out of an i-phone case. For sure a good road to go down if material is not readily on hand. Most people drink milk and would have a milk carton.

Just for interest sake, I thought i would share a couple Dice tower reviews;

I had to line the baffles with a sticker sponge material from the dollar store. The dice passing through the tower made considerable noise. My better half ever shut the door to the basement lol. I can’t wait to post a few pics of them in action.
