X-DAP-04 TeamBoldDutch vs. Ancients for 1945

Cow. when. will. you. ever. learn.

If they are on two separate carriers, then the carriers can go in different directions and deliver 1 ftr to each, so the answer is quite often not obvious and could make sense in many different configurations.

[Cow]

you will rarely want figs on separate carriers in global.

[Cow]

The territories you want reach on are clustered together.

@Cow:

The territories you want reach on are clustered together.

ok, thanks for the insight.

sz33 OOL?

[Cow]

you made a moosteak. your bomber is attacking caroline island for some reason.

[Cow]

Miss clicking is super easy.

Wonder if usa is going sz 35 after this.

[boldfresh]

gosh cow have I told you lately how much I appreciate your input in our game?

[dutchmand]

Me, looks like you might need to re-post the map to fix the bomber, if you want to. On a battle like this i can only OOL round by round. Roll the dice and post how many hits and i’ll tell you what to scuttle.

[dutchmand]

Nevermind, I did not see that you had already rolled the dice….

Well, I got lucky on that roll to be sure.  It looks like 2 hits on round 1…

[boldfresh]

Did he roll for the bomber.

[boldfresh]

Or is he actually attacking the carolines?  Dont have a map in front of me.

[dutchmand]

Oh, I see, he wanted to bomb the airbase to keep any aircraft that landed there from scrambling vs the Anzac, then if I dont land any airctaft there he’ll bomb the NB I guess.  Yea, Me would not miss that because TripleA asks the question of what you want to do with the bomber in a separate pop-up.  Nothing like running head-long into a 1% battle and then getting 2 hits when you were supposed to get 5…

Well, this is pretty easy: tip the BB and an AC.

[dutchmand]

@Boldfresh:

Did he roll for the bomber.

No, I didn’t get any dice for a bomber, just 2 tacticals… that missed.

[Me1945]

The post is correct. Target is Car AB. Thanks for your offer, DD.
So, AC & BB? Will proceed as soon as I can.

[Me1945]

I see a discrepancy between the general combat sequence in rules and TripleA.
Rules: Step 4. Defending Units Fire p19 2nd edition Pacific

After the defending player has rolled for each defending unit with a defense
value, the attacker chooses 1 unit for each hit scored and removes it from play.<

In TripleA I have to choose  my casualties 2 times now -  after air rolls, not knowing the ships’ results, and than after Japan ships’ rolls. I understand the TipleA reason behind that (with no DD air cannot hit subs), but would like to make OOL decision  when all of the defender units rolled dices.

Do I misunderstand something?  If no, are you ok with rolling dices manually in the thread for this particular battle?

[boldfresh]

let me take a quick look here.

[boldfresh]

i don’t see the defense roll you are talking about, did you do it in local?
