I done bad, did amph assault first . . . I’m learning. I just had it stuck in my head amph assault first then regular combat and forgot about my SBR.

@seththenewb:

Does the triplea calc accurately reflect tech?

Yes, if you select the correct power, of course.

You’ll get there

This was one of the many instances where it really doesn’t matter, but sometimes it can be critical!
I’m sure an intelligent guy like yourself can understand

[gamerman01]

Sweet, improved mech is actually helping me out a bit…… amazing

[seth4god]

Yea, like I said I ran the same numbers in a new game of global and both the odds and combat power were different. But I guess changing the power would’ve been the easier option.  :lol:

I know it didn’t matter here, but I don’t want it to be a conscious thought on my part either. So I want to get into the habit of it.

@seththenewb:

So I want to get into the habit of it.

It will become habit very quickly
And now you’ll have to be rules police for all your opponents… Most still are completely unaware, just as I was when Funcioneta pointed it out to me in a game of P40 (before E40 had been released)

OK, so please confirm that the 2 hits you took in Z37 would have been to the battleship and to the carrier

Then, I need a scramble decision for Zone 95 - thanks

Hope you had a happy 4th

The file is available to look at, on my combat move post below.  USA lost all 4 ships in Z97, damaging the carrier and battleship, unless you say different.
