@Stucifer

Casualties?

Do you want me to post after every round of attack?

[Stucifer]

@nikola1975 Dmg CV, lose German tac, 2 Italian DD

[Stucifer]

@nikola1975 please post next round with picture as well, will be away from computer for quite a few hours but can check mobile

[nikola1975]

@Stucifer

You had 3 hits.

Sub hit?

[Stucifer]

@nikola1975 you can assign it to the destroyer

[nikola1975]

@Stucifer

Sorry about this:

There also seems to be a problem in the game though, it is asking for 1 casualty. I need to see how to handle it, maybe save and reload, will try it out.

@Stucifer

Hm, can’t get it to ask for 7 casualties. Any idea? Edit in between the battle, is it possible?

[Stucifer]

@nikola1975 when there are subs in the battle I usually turn on edit mode for the combat so the defender can see all the dice hits (per A&A rules)

In this case I’m not sure what’s going on but maybe you have to select a transport?

The dice gods have not favored me in the Med but I think Japan can save me…

[Stucifer]

Cant turn on edit mode during a battle and I only have 6 hits of units left I think?

[nikola1975]

@Stucifer

Yes, you are right. So, basically I wait for the Ita/Ger to hit back and then edit them out? I will try something now.

Hm, I might have killed the game. I guess I wanted to block the Japanese fleet with American destroyers + Anzac destroyers and probably forgot.

I will post later.

[Stucifer]

@nikola1975 Think that’s a fair edit, no harm done. You had a destroyer in 31 for US you could move to 47 or 48 and certainly one of the stack in 32 can move to 49. ANZAC blocks the remaining SZ if that’s what you were thinking to accomplish?

[nikola1975]

@Stucifer

Thanks, I appreciate that. Mistakes like this are part of the game, I don’t mind losing because of them, it is just a shame that it takes so long to create something at least close to interesting game :)
