Private Panic Axis vs Surprise Attack Allies + 12

Hi Kris
You understandably took J’s ACs as casualties sz45, meaning all the planes were subsequently lost. Given J’s odds on that combat (i.e. 100% given USA’s 11 HP and 22 power vs J’s 15 and 37) I would not have done that. Instead I would have been judging the battle as it went and taking carriers only as I felt necessary.
How do we sort this out?
Well done taking Egypt by the way and blocking my TTs from getting there!
Cheers

Scrap a couple of planes and add a Carrier with planes, and maybe a damaged one, I cant remember all the hits without trying to go back thru the history.
I should have asked your OOL, sorry. I think we can figure out something.
Let me know what ya think
Kris -
I dont know how to re-roll the battle, planes defend better than carriers. R 1 It looks like I had 5 for 7 and you had 6 for 12, R 2 I had 3 for 5 and you had 5 for 10.
Do you know how to re-roll thru triple A
Kris -
Hi Kris
I don’t keep the MARTI rolls, so unless you do I think we have 2 options that don’t involve you redoing all 3 goes:
1. I revise J’s losses to match the number of hits achieved by the USA. That might mean “scrap a couple of planes and add a carrier with planes” as you suggest, but I would look more carefully than that. As you know, this advantages J as J’s defence rolls would have been less.
2. Re-roll the battle, but using the forum dice roller not triple A. We would both have to accept an outcome that may be worse for either J or USA. This seems fairer, so it is what I suggest. We’d have to post the dice rolls turn by turn allowing each nation to pick casualties.
Do you want to do option 2? In which case do you know how to do forum dice rolls? If not, I can do USA round 1 for you.
Cheers
Adam -
Number 2 sounds the best. I dont know how to roll forum dice, so that would be great if you can do that. I’ll take my tips and lowest dice first and save my best defense to be taken last.
Tanks and Cheers
Kris -
Okay Kris.
Americans attack with 2 battleships, 1 carrier, 1 cruiser, 2 destroyers, 1 fighter and 1 tactical_bomber
Japanese defend with 1 battleship, 3 carriers, 1 cruiser, 1 destroyer, 4 fighters and 2 tactical_bombersLet’s see if I can make this work! US attack dice:
2 battleships -
Rolling 2d6:
(5, 5)1 cruiser -
Rolling 1d6:
(6)2 destroyers -
Rolling 2d6:
(1, 5)1 fighter -
Rolling 1d6:
(1)1 tactical_bomber -
Rolling 1d6:

That is 3 hits. J will take 1 on the battleship and 2 on one carrier.

J’s attack dice:
1 battleship - :1d6:
3 carriers - :3d6:
1 cruiser - :1d6:
1 destroyer - :1d6:
4 fighters - :4d6:
2 tactical_bombers - :2d6

Whoops! Trying again:
1 battleship -
Rolling 1d6:
(4)3 carriers -
Rolling 3d6:
(1, 3, 5)1 cruiser -
Rolling 1d6:
(2)1 destroyer -
Rolling 1d6:
(6)4 fighters -
Rolling 4d6:
(2, 4, 5, 6)2 tactical_bombers - :dice 2d6
-
4 hits there plus the TBs again!
Rolling 2d6:
(1, 3) -
That is 6 hits in total. Sorry Kris!
What do you want to take as casualties?
I could guess but let’s get this battle finished with no more problems!
-
One each on the battleship, two to kill the carrier, then both destroyers?
Leaving you with 2 damaged battleships, 1 cruiser, 1 fighter and 1 tactical_bomber.
You also need to let me know whether you wish to continue or retreat. If the latter, where to?
Sorry that this is such a different outcome to triple A.
-
Keep it going
-
I scroll up the page to see the history, so I look at my combat for US, It shows the hits to dice as a fraction. Is there any way we can average the 5/7 and your 6/12 on R 1 of combat? If not thats cool too its only a game.
Never surrender!
Kris -
Had a look Kris. I was feeling bad about those round 1 re-rolls, so am happy to rethink. You are correct - on triple A the US got 5 hits and J got 6. So we could assign round one according to that and then use forum dice for round 2, etc to finish the combat.
Shall we do that?
Americans attack with 2 battleships, 1 carrier, 1 cruiser, 2 destroyers, 1 fighter and 1 tactical_bomber
Japanese defend with 1 battleship, 3 carriers, 1 cruiser, 1 destroyer, 4 fighters and 2 tactical_bombersJ takes the 5 hits as 1 on the battleship, 2 on 1 carrier, 1 DD, 1 fig, 1 TB
Leaves 1 damaged BB, 2 undamaged carriers, 3 figs, 1 TB
How does US take the 6 hits? That is the same as the forum dice, so my guess is one each on the 2 BBs, 2 to kill the carrier and both destroyers? Leaving 2 damaged BBs, 1 cruiser, 1 fig and 1 TB.
As below, continue rather than surrender?
I will then continue with the forum dice.
-
Actually I think I can proceed as above given your previous guidance as to casualties and not retreating. Hope so or we will be having to it yet again!
BTW am going to change the J fig casualty to the second TB.
So J has 1 damaged BB, 2 undamaged carriers, 4 figs left.
Round 2 - US:
2 damaged BBs -
Rolling 2d6:
(1, 5)1 cruiser -
Rolling 1d6:
(1)1 fig - :1d6:
1 TB - :1d6:
-
Bloody hell!
1 fig -
Rolling 1d6:
(2)1 TB -
Rolling 1d6:
(1) -
That is 4 out of 5 that hit! How do you do it Kris!
Will take 2 on an AC and 2 figs.
Round 2 - J:
1 damaged BB -
Rolling 1d6:
(2)2 undamaged carriers -
Rolling 2d6:
(4, 4)4 figs -
Rolling 4d6:
(1, 2, 2, 3) -
That is 5 hits, so you have been wiped out, leaving me with a damaged BB, 1 AC and 2 figs.
Shall I edit that in and then get on with the Italian turn?
-
Yes and thanks
I’m glad you know how to roll on the forum I’m not real comp literate.
The second job sucks I’ve had to work 7 out of the last 8 Sundays when E.E. is on. I have to figure out how to watch it on my computer. The extra $ is nice and once the kids graduate I can do some traveling, I might even get over there and do some gaming and sight seeing at least once in my life. . .ooh mods to the Mustang, more war games,reno. this old house and so much more.
Italy is up
Kris
