TGC (Allies) vs VictoryFirst (Germans), D-Day Game 2

VictoryFirst

I messed some things up. I should have rolled three air strikes for my units that moved to St. Lo, but I completely forgot. I will reroll the battle by hand and edit the results back in.

Air strikes:

artillery [dice 3d6]
infantry [dice 3d6]
infantry [dice 3d6]
tank [dice 3d6]

3d6: 5, 3, 3
3d6: 6, 1, 3
3d6: 3, 6, 4
3d6: 3, 5, 6

Looks like only the infantry died. What we could do is reroll the entire battle, or we could assume the infantry that died was the one that scored a hit. So the only thing that would change is that you would get one casualty less.

These were my rolls:

And these were yours:

I’ll leave it up to you to decide.

@VictoryFirst I’ve had this occur in several other games of TripleA and my preference is to ignore the “extra” dice at the tail end of the row. In this case, since only one infantry was present, we count the first dice and ignore the second (since it was not present).

I used to roll a die to see what hit would be ignored but realized this was biased in favor of whoever rolled the extra dice - in other words, over-rolling sometimes caused this “check” die to be rolled when it otherwise shouldn’t.

So my preference is to ignore the 2nd dice which was the hit. This would be my preference for any situation like this going forward.
