Guys, game just glitched on the US Combat. Just tweeked its way through the whole thing in z97 in like 3 seconds and never gve me a casualty screen. The intent was to withdraw after z1, as its a 0% win for the US. I can do it over or edit the withdrawal of the AC and tach to z99.  Let me know.

[dutchmand]

That’s “after round 1”

[Make_It_Round]

Italians got 5 hits total at the end of first round.

If there was a glitch, US retreat at end of round is okay, but if you want to retreat the AC remember that there should be a damage counter on it, and there’s no tactical bomber left to save…

US = 1 SS, 1 AC, 1 DD, 1FT, 1TC (6 damage soaks - 5 hits = 1 unit remaining)

[dutchmand]

MIR, there are two US units remaining, that’s why there was a dice roll sent out for 2 units in round 2.  Italians only landed 4 hits. One sub hit, the dd missed, the cru hit, 1 fighter hit, 1 fighter missed, BB hit.

Those dice are tricky to read. It goes lowest unit to highest, left to right.

[Make_It_Round]

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification… I thought the shots were in the order they were listed on the message from the dice server, although I admit I hadn’t looked too closely until now.

Sooo with 4 Italian hits, I guess you’re going to edit in one damaged carrier in SZ 99 & one tac bomber? (I learned from Veqryn that you can edit in damage by staging a fake battle, wounding a carrier, and then deleting all extraneous units afterwards…)

I think I speak for all of us Commandos when I say: “That’s alright”. Game on!

[boldfresh]

geez we took a lot of hits in that battle… did we inflict any?

[Make_It_Round]

Yes, one hit with the US destroyer… I assume it damaged the Italian BB.

[dutchmand]

Cool. Thx MIR.

Ugh. Now having issues with a blank action screen.  Working on it…

[boldfresh]

Good lord… I guess my bad luck is finally wearing its way over to you DD :lol:

I had to do the turn over… twice… sucks too, Zone 98 Battle II came out much better than the first one. The third one, I only had to edit back in the Italian sub, but other than that it was close to the first one.

I also notice that De Gaulle must have loaded the wrong Anzac map.  There were two Anzac maps, the only difference was the dd/ftr purchase they made. The second one having the dd purchased.

[dutchmand]

Alright, I have another issue.  I never realized it before, probably because it very rarely happens, but the Brit fighters cannot take off from the damaged carrier.  If I had realized that, I never would have attacked the Italians, I presumed I would take a hit on the AC, withdraw it and the Brit fighters would land in Greece. The AC, then, should have never been sent to that battle, because there was no value to being there.

I’ll have to take one of those hits on the surviving fighter.  Another 10 IPC in the trash.
