[boldfresh]

i have told you several times that tripleA does not handle bombing raids
correctly.

you should have designated what dice were for the harbor/ab and what dice
were for the IC.  you got one bomber shot down, the question is whether it was
a strat or a tac.  since you did not say what dice were what, you need to determine which
was hit.

[boldfresh]

in other words, you cannot just choose to lose a tac.

if the IC aa hit you lose a strat bomber.  if the harbor hit you lose a tac, if the airbase hit you lose a tac.

[boldfresh]

you don’t pay much attention to detail, but this is one case in which the rules are crystal clear but tripleA just unfortunately handles it COMPLETELY wrong.

[boldfresh]

AA for each facility fires separately and the attacker has a casualty choice within each set of AA fired.  since ONLY STRAT bombers can bomb an IC, you have no casualty choice in that case.  now, if you had a strat and a tac bombing a harbor and the aa hit once, THEN you get a choice between the strat and the tac.

make sense?  think it through, it’s really quite simple.

so, since tripleA DOES NOT FOLLOW the rules on this issue, it incorrectly rolls all aa fire together no matter what is being bombed and allows whatever casualty choice the attacker wishes - WRONG.

[hobo]

look who needs to take a chill pill, one message would have been sufficient  :lol:

1-2 it’s a tac, 3-5 it’s a bomber, I rolled a magnificent 2,2,1 with my bomber so 2-3 = 2 and 5 = 1

if it’s one of the tac, 1 = to airbase, 2 = to port

Input ErrorThere was an error in your dice throw: “1d5” is not correct syntax.

[hobo]

Rolls: 1@6; Total Hits: 11@6: (1)

[hobo]

so basically map as stands

[boldfresh]

with you, one message is clearly NOT sufficient since i told you this before.

since my dealings with Me1945 i don’t have much faith that players like yourself will be reasonable.  seems you are a different breed from him so you have my apology since you seem to fairly quickly see reason in rules issues.

yes map can stand as is if your tac hit the harbor and not the AB.

cheers

Me1945 would say i just broke the rules and we have to get a moderator ruling because i edited the anzac pieces AFTER the convoy rolls.  in reality, i just clicked through one too many times and then finished the noncom.  this guy is a real knucklehead.

[boldfresh]

keep in mind I am TELLING you that you have the game won.  i am just playing it
out a bit further since the last ditch attack went well.  it won’t be long i’m pretty
sure.
