Ouch

[gamerman01]

@Last:

I didn’t think so but felt obligated to ask.

It’s ok - I wasn’t poking fun for asking
Always give your opponent a chance to make the wrong decision!

[gamerman01]

Oh, that’s right.  Triple A doesn’t do split SBR’s right.  You had very bad luck with the AA so we won’t worry about it

It let you pick which bombers you would lose, right?  Because it shouldn’t roll all the AA together.  Each facility shoots only at the planes it’s facing.

In other words, if the IC AA hits twice, you have to lose 2 strat bombers because there are no tac bombers.

The error in Triple A gives a big advantage to the attacker because he gets to choose which air is hit by the AA before allocating to targets.  Right?

What I’m saying is, in the future you should roll SBR on the forum, and make sure your opponents do the same.
Do you understand what I’m trying to explain?

[gamerman01]

@Gamerman01:

What I’m saying is, in the future you should roll SBR on the forum, and make sure your opponents do the same.

Clarification:
This is only necessary when you have bombers attacking more than one facility.

[gamerman01]

Holy cow, when I tested it in local, I got FOUR hits out of 7
Not a good night to fly over AA I guess

Yes, Triple A definitely does it dead wrong.

Since you took off 1 strat bomber (and of course because you took 3 losses total) I am OK with the result.

Had you selected 3 tacs and did 20 damage to the IC we might have issues….

All that said, are you OK with continuing as is?

[Last Jack]

I understand. A very expensive lesson learned.  :-)

Funny I was thinking that if we rerolled you might hit 4 or 5 out of 7.  :-D

[gamerman01]

I was thinking about offering a re-roll where you take a minimum of 1 loss or a maximum of 3, but you did get decent damage rolls (harbor maxed)

I think the attack was a good idea, by the way, except I would only send 1 tac at each facility to keep AA exposure down, and because it doesn’t add to your max potential damage…

[gamerman01]

Getting late - maybe resume this fun tomorrow

Did Axis really get a bid of 6 in this game? I am very curious as to why?

[gamerman01]

@arathorn:

Did Axis really get a bid of 6 in this game? I am very curious as to why?

Because that is what we agreed to, of course.

But I think this is more what you’re looking for - it’s a handicap

I gave out a +21 bid to the Allies and a +19 bid to the Allies in AA50-41 also.  I won both of them.
I don’t think small bids are as influential as most do, apparently.
