are you sure? the manual says otherwise:

the defending player allocate the hits, puts the casualities behind the casuality paper, THEN rolls. I’m pretty sure.

[corriganbp]

dst and cruiser

Yeah I know there’s this ERROR in the book, check the DETAILED reference, really. Page 18, step3.

[corriganbp]

finally

[Noll]

also there’s not error… you REMOVE after defending, but you allocate hits before rolling, really!

[corriganbp]

very aggressive attacks this turn

[Noll]

India loses everything

(yeah Taranto was hard, a 45%, worth doing it though)

[Noll]

oh I forgot to add 6IPCs to china for the Burma road NO.

I’ll add them during Anzac’s turn.

[corriganbp]

I need to get some sleep.  Good game so far.

[Noll]

me too but please let me do anzac before sleeping :)
Let’s just finish round2!

Italy won’t do much anyway this turn

[Noll]

well, since it won’t affect Italy, during Anzac#2 I will attack sz36 with 1dd and 3fighters.

I’ll roll now the attack so you will assign the casualities.

(PS: I noticed the french dd is not in sz58 but I’m sure I’ve moved it there…… like I do in every game I play…)
