Thank you, can finish turn now

[gamerman01]

Will try rolling fleet battle in TripleA as long as it doesn’t cause us problems.
It will roll 6 subs first and require casualty choices, but we can go back and edit if it would be different after seeing all attack dice like you’re supposed to

[gamerman01]

Even though MARTI has been so mean to me.

Well, my subs went 1/12 so far, and your 4’s are 1/4

I need to stop and ask casualty choice for 2nd round attack

1st round, I had ONE sub hit and two other hits, and I assigned hit to battleship and to carrier, sunk 1 destroyer - SAD
Your defense was bad, too, 3 hits instead of like 5
I sunk carrier and hit to battleship (panicked after bad first round roll)

Now after an abyssmal 0/6 on subs, I actually score 4, so overall less than average.

Just look at that!!

[gamerman01]

I probably should have waited for your round 1 choice, because you could lose both destroyers so that I couldn’t choose subs to plane casualties round 2, but you have enough ships I don’t think that would be the way to go. So I hope I didn’t already assume what I shouldn’t have, especially since you’re online

[gamerman01]

I mean, I didn’t even roll a THREE with those subs! They could have been super subs and still went 0/6

No problem with the casualties.
I think I need to choose 4 casualies, so sink the 4 ships and keep all the planes.

Thanks for keeping it easy, and you’re rewarded with
