@gamerman01 Up to you to choose a casualty - choice between a submarine, transport or battleship.

I also don’t understand how the “column” rolling exactly works.

Never mind, found it in the rules. Column 1 is all units attacking/defending at 1, which is rolled first and then the defender has to apply casualties. Then column 2 is rolled, etc.

[gamerman01]

Sink the submarine, thanks
I’m glad you found the rule :)

[VictoryFirst]

Alright, Germans roll back

Transport [dice 1d6<=1]
submarine [dice 1d6<=2]
battleship [dice 1d6<=4]

Well at least I destroyed something lol.

This attack could really have gone either way.

The probabilities I calculated:
UK:
0 hits - 22.2%
1 hit - 55.6%
2 hits - 22.2%

G:
0 hits - 18.5%
1 hit - 50%
2 hits - 27.8%
3 hits - 3.7%

So your most likely result was getting 1 hit, where I would have a bomber left that would have a 66.6% chance to kill either the transport or the battleship. That would have really helped me.

I tested this battle 5 times which is not a lot, but in three cases I destroyed the transport. In one case I destroyed everything and had a bomber left, and in the last case you had a battleship and a transport remaining just like now. The four battles that went well made me do this attack.

[VictoryFirst]

Lol if only I got the result when rolling the battle in TripleA so that I could edit it afterwards!
