Dice are favouring you this battle.

In the first round, yes.
In the second round, my 21 subs and 12 fighters should have scored 13 hits, not 10.

You had 89 power, 14 5/6 hits on average and you scored 15 hits

Average!

I will retreat now, after losing another 15 subs.

6 subs and 12 fighters remaining.
You are left with 1 damaged battleship, 2 tacs and 15 fighters will land in Japan.

[MrRoboto]

TUV change is -2 by the way.

[MrRoboto]

You know what? I will lose 13 subs and 2 fighters instead, because they can’t land there.
TUV change is -10 then

[simon33]

Oh it pains me to point this out but you made a typo in the subs roll. You rolled 12 dice and you should have rolled 21!

[simon33]

Are you able to retreat to SZ19? It’s a hostile sea zone, I wouldn’t have thought that was allowed, will check the rules.

Eur rules, p20:
Condition B—Attacker Retreats
The attacker (never the defender) can retreat during this
step. Move all attacking land and sea units in that combat
that are on the battle strip to a single adjacent friendly
space from which at least 1 of the attacking land or sea
unit involved in a successful battle.

Was going to continue with Italy but better not.

[simon33]

I didn’t see the need to resort to Forum dice here. Would have been easier with normal dice. Only if someone objects to sub casualties would you need to do that.

[MrRoboto]

Simon, you are a good sportsman! I never noticed that typo.

It doesn’t change much, though. I will kill the battleship and the transporters with the additional hits. Let’s roll it, just to be sure:

[dice 9d6<=2]

I never knew about that retreat rule, thanks for clarifying! Learned something new!!!

You are right, rolling on the forum would have been easier. However, I have been asked many times to roll big sea battles on the forum, because of the sub casualty situation.
And, more importantly, I am having a dispute with another player right now because of a big sea battle where we did not get MARTI Dice mails. So I wanted to make sure there is 100% transparency here.

[simon33]

Axis got smacked around that turn.

Actually, you had plenty of plane hits which can hit my planes. I’ve removed 2 Japanese fighters.

I thought I had enough to fend off the Yanks there. If I was really worried I should have forgotten about putting planes in Amur. Bad in Greece too.

If you come back to win this game, it will the come back of the century.
