@simon33 Lots of options
I hope some of that dice luck runs my way this round.

[simon33]

No scramble.

[surfer]

@simon33 I never do this but this battle is unusually complex because of the sub + DD + carrier interaction–and it really impacts the game going forward…

I have 2 SS, 2 CA 1 ftr, 1 tac vs. your 2 CV, 3 DD, 3 CA, 3 ftr.

Because my subs don’t get first strike but Triplea requires choices before you know the result. So rolling all attacks on server here. Whatever the results are here, I will just edit on the game after.

Attacker – need some dice love here.
2 subs [2d6<=2]
