Gamerman01 (Allies+22) vs aagamerz13 (Axis) BM3

[aagamerz13]

@gamerman01 ok. interested to see uk1. Always the most important allied move.

[gamerman01]

OK, here you go!

Scramble to 97? Thanks
UK1 scramble 97.tsvg

[aagamerz13]

Have to press my luck. Full scramble 97

[gamerman01]

OK, stay tuned for possible casualty choices in 110…

[gamerman01]

BTW it’s common that players don’t know that all amphibious assaults must be rolled before the rest of combat (SBR being first of course)…

So I’m doing Ethiopia first…

[gamerman01]

OK, don’t need anything, you’re free - I got 3 hits in 110 and you got 1

[gamerman01]

I forgot that Triple A does a defense roll for ships, makes you choose casualties, and then rolls the planes.

You scored 1 hit with the 2 ships, and I’m going to attempt to roll the 3 planes here, but I can’t remember how the forum dice roller works, now

:aaa 3@4:

[aagamerz13]

yes if sub involved and defender doesn’t have a destroyer. What was the issue when you rolled?

[gamerman01]

Oh, thanks for that tidbit! It’s only when a sub is involved and no defending destroyer, interesting.

Well it’s making me pick a casualty after only your 2 dice for the ships, and I don’t know how many hits the planes will get. They should all be rolled before I have to choose.

Do you know how to roll dice on the forum these days, or should I just edit what I have if I want to change it, after your 3 planes roll?

Do you know what I mean? Thanks. I’m having trouble finding it on the site (how to roll dice)

[aagamerz13]

just an example for forum roller: [dice 10d6<7]

[dicebot]

10d6<7: 3, 4, 1, 6, 4, 2, 4, 4, 5, 6; Hits: 10

[gamerman01]

You’re great, thank you for that

[gamerman01]

[dice 3d6<5]

[dicebot]

3d6<5: 2, 4, 4; Hits: 3

[gamerman01]

Crud, your gamble pays off

[gamerman01]

Oof. I lose the carrier, destroyer, and fighter.

It’s 1 sub, 1 cruiser, 1 tac, 1 bomber against 1 damaged battleship and 3 fighters.

[dice 1d6<3] [dice 2d6<4] [dice 1d6<5]

[dicebot]

1d6<3: 1; Hits: 1
2d6<4: 5, 1; Hits: 1
1d6<5: 4; Hits: 1

[gamerman01]

I hope you don’t argue with this - I assumed you lost the cruiser and dinged the battleship when I only scored 2 hits in round 1. I kept the sub and it sunk your battleship by surprise strike. I don’t think anyone would lose a plane in the first round after taking 2 hits, but I made an assumption and you can make me pay for it. What say you?

[gamerman01]

So your defense is 3 fighters
