2 tanks and 1 artillery from the 12th SS Panzer Division join 2 tanks from the same division already in G36. 1 artillery from the 1st SS Panzer Corps also moves into G36. 1 artillery from the Panzer Lehr Division and 2 infantry from the 77th Infantry Division move into G34. 1 infantry from the 346th Infantry Division moves into G40.

Still underrolling on those reinforcements. Those strafe rolls were… disheartening to say the least.

This is not how two fighters over a territory work and I cannot accept the result in G36. Two fighters does NOT make eight strafe rolls - it makes two rolls per unit. This means that any second kill from a ‘snake eyes’ result is ignored and not dispersed to another unit.

Unless VF comes up with some magic to make this work in accordance with the rules, I will say there are two acceptable ways to resolve this. 1) Let TripleA roll the dice for one fighter and the survivors get rolled for the remaining fighters per unit on the forum or 2) roll all the dice for moves into territories with two fighters on the forum (the exception to this is if there is only one unit - then everything I mentioned is not applicable and can be done through TripleA)

@SuperbattleshipYamato just re-roll the entire roll for G36 if you please. Two dice per unit. Not eight dice total. It will be too difficult to find out what’s fair using the current roll. Thats my two cents anyway. If anyone feels differently, let me know.

Thank you for pointing that out. You are completely correct and I missed that. The FighterX units indeed don’t take into account the fact that units can be killed during the strafe rolls, they’ll always roll the same number of dice.

What I would suggest is using the normal fighters and rolling for any additional fighter strafe rolls by hand, using dice bot for example. Just like we used to be doing.

Or, an alternative is to use the Fighter1 unit and only move one unit at a time, that will work as well. However, that might not be convenient when moving 8 units 😀 However, it could be a viable option when you only need to move 3 or 4 units.

Unfortunately because of TripleA limitations, it cannot be more engine-enforced than this.

@The_Good_Captain In the next update, I will add some things to make reinforcements more manageable. I was thinking about making each square on the chart an actual territory and then having a moveable unit function as a marker to keep track of where you left off with reinforcements.

I am looking at your guys’ situation and it is actually unclear to me exactly how TripleA assigns the casualties from the strafe rolls. I did some testing and I only got more confused. I will get back to this later, but just letting you know that using the normal fighter might also not work correctly.

I haven’t seen or felt any reason not to use TripleA for the single fighter. The results seem random enough to me. I haven’t seen any evidence there of foul play.
