Sorry for slow play right now, I returned to work after vacation and am busy digging out and preparing for month end.

I suspect this will continue through the Easter long weekend.

[gamerman01]

Thanks, don’t worry, I’m busy too

[Seador]

I’ll need dogfight orders for Russia please.

No intercepting

I understand Triple A doesn’t handle strat bombing quite right.

Your tactical bombers cannot shield your Strat bombers that are presumably bombing the IC from AA fire.

That is, if you send 3 tacs at the airbase and 3 strat bombers at the IC, any AA hits from the IC will hit Strat bombers, and AA hits from the air base would hit tacs.

If Triple A rolls all 6 together and there is 1 or more hits, we could always roll on the forum to see which ones were hit.  But then the damage rolls could be screwed up…

Well, if you haven’t rolled it in triple A yet, I advise you roll the AA and the damage on the forum for mixed bombing runs.

[Seador]

I’ll run it locally first just to make sure, but I think this must have been fixed since the last time you encountered it.  3A wont let you send tac bombers against an IC.

The main reason the tacs are there, TBH was to deter fighters.  There is no reason you can’t try it local mode anyway, just to make sure you’re happy with the rule set in the game.

Yeah, I thought there was some issue with splitting them up - I was mainly concerned it would let you shield the strat bombers from AA with the tacs  :-)  Good idea to run in local mode to test - I will definitely do that.

No, I get the reason, and it’s brilliant (unless I get 3 ones  :-D) although you probably only needed to send 1 or 2  :-)
Oughtta knock out my air base good!!

[gamerman01]

I was right.  Triple A does it wrong - it rolls 6 dice all at once against all bombers.

I got 0 hits and 6 damage and 20 damage.  Worst possible result.  No, my dice don’t count - you will probably get pounded by AA!  :-)

I will ask on the FAQ thread to make 100% sure that I am right about this rule.

[gamerman01]

If I am right that you roll the AA separately, you will need to do it manually on the thread and edit the results afterwards

[gamerman01]

kcd agrees

You need to roll them manually
Would be a good idea to roll the damage manually also

[Seador]

OK, no scramble against the air raid.

Dice:
#1 3 TB vs airfield:
Rolls: 3@1; Total Hits: 03@1: (5, 5, 6)

#2 3 BM vs Mic
Rolls: 3@1; Total Hits: 03@1: (4, 5, 4)

All 19 of my 1’s missed in the first round in Bel

Then I get 3 out of 4 hits on 1’s in Vologda.

Nice  :roll:

[Seador]

With all the breaks in between this cycle, I was trying to remember why the heck I moved my army into Bel…and I still dont know why.

[gamerman01]

To tell you the truth, I’m not so sure it was the best move for me to attack it.
