I don’t think he’s saying he made the scramble decision after 111. I think he’s saying they rolled 111, and it didn’t go well, and then rolled 110 which killed Germany and they started over.
Yes all scramble decisions are made before any dice
This is correct. As I read what I wrote I can see that I wasn’t clear on it. The initial scramble decision was made because Ike came in light, figuring I wouldn’t scramble because I never do.
