I score one surprise strike with the 3 subs.
and another 4 hits.

You have:
3 damaged carriers
1 cruiser
2 tacs
1 damaged battleship
2 fighter

You said max D, so your casualties should be 3 carriers, 1 tac and a cruiser.
One of the carriers can’t hit back because of the surprise strike

another battle won at 40%… these are becoming a bit much

[Avner]

I think I don’t understand why you edited the battle…

I saw the opening fight in the game’s story… what was the problem?

[MrRoboto]

What do you mean?
I edited the battle because I rolled everything here on the forum, but still had to do it somehow in the engine.

I preferred the forum roll because of the submarines. It was a 50:50 battle (we had the exact same hp and power) and so casualty choice plays a huge role in the outcome.

[Avner]

Yes, I didn’t understand why you used the forum instead of TripleA.

Even with submarines.

Okay

[MrRoboto]

The problem is that TripleA asks for casualties after the sub hits. And that is sometimes a disadvantage for the defender.
