as for sbr

when attacking multiple facilities or attacking with various types of aircraft (bombers and tacs)

u need to roll it here on the forum manually beacuse triple a is wrong and is allowing the attacker to choose the casualties which is forbiden. u have to roll for each building and each type of units attacking separately.

but if u attack only lets say harbour with 2 bombers than u dont have to.

but in all multiple cases either buildings or planes of various types u have to roll it here manually.

please re-roll the sbr from the begining starting from aa guns

thank U :)

[Vold]

I assume you are referring to my ability to pick the casualty?

I’m not familiar with this being a problem.  please post the rule reference so I can get more educated then we’ll figure the best way to go - a reroll may not be the answer as the dice have been cast, so to speak.

[Vold]

I found the reference.  On this rule book here (http://www.wizards.com/avalonhill/rules/A&A_Europe_1940_2ndEd_Rulebook_LR.pdf).

These two passages were relevant;
A base may be both strategically and
tactically bombed at the same time.

Each complex and base rolls one die against each bomber
directly attacking it (regardless of the number of
bombers). For each “1” rolled, a bomber of the attacker’s
choice is immediately removed.

So it appears that each target rolls separately, but not each plane type per target.

That being clarified, here are the options that I see we can pursue;

a) We keep the combat and rolls as they are, but roll a single ‘1d5’ in forum to determine which plane was hit (1-3 bombers, 4-5 tacs). the plane that was hit would have it’s die removed from the damage.

b) re-roll the AA and SBR damage from the beginning, but remove the tacs from the fight.  I only included them due to my misunderstanding of the rule - I actually have little interest in bombing the airfield.

c) Leave things as they are and apply the rule properly from here on out.

I’m up for either course of action - or do you have an alternative?

V

[Amon-Sul]

U should replay German turn from the begining then.

Decide which combat moves will U make, send which airrcraft U wish, but watch out, because each building has it s own aa gun. And tacs cant bombard ICs.

U have to do the sbr here unless U re attacking only one building.

We have to play by the rules, and sometimes triple a does not follow them. U have a thread of Gamerman with all the mistakes Triple a  does.

In other words we have to take option b of yours. REstart , replay the German turn from the begining.

[Vold]

I’m all for playing by the rules - this rule is new to me and I’ll be sure to incorporate it from here on out.

However, there is no need to reset and replay the German turn from the beginning.  The infraction only affects the Moscow SBR.  Any adjustments to that combat have no effect on any other combat.

I’m willing to either pull the tacs and redo the Moscow SBR (the tacs will not participate in any other combat), or roll a die and randomly choose which plane was shot down.

I’ll let you choose which course of action we take.

V

[Amon-Sul]

It affects all because u had one casuatly from all those bombings and it was tac but  maybe it should be bomber.

and more important how do we know which unit (attacking which building) was destroyed by aa gun

and then how can we now which amount of dmg was to be taken on which building.

i think U should just replay the turn, because it is simply too confusing.

[Vold]

It’s not that difficult at all to fix the issue and keep the integrity of the turn.

From the SBR run in the last posted file:

• AA fire in Russia : 5,3,4,4,1
  Bombing raid in Russia rolls: 3,8,5 and causes: 16 damage to unit: factory_major
  Bombing raid in Russia rolls: 2 and

causes: 2 damage to unit: airfield

Five planes were sent and one was shot down.  If you enumerate the bombers as 1,2 and 3, and the tacs as 4 and 5, a simple 1d5 roll determines the one to get shot down.

There are still 4 damage dice, it’s only a matter of shifting them accordingly.  If a bomber is selected, the last bomber damage dice (5) becomes tac damage, loses its +2 modifier and shifts to the airfield.

This roll identifies the plane hit:

:roll 1d5:

continued in next post…

[Vold]

whoops - here’s the bomber dice

:roll 1d5:

[Vold]

Rolling 1d5:
(3)

darn typos

[Vold]

The roll is a 3 - according to the enumeration a bomber was hit.

Now the ‘5’ damage dice (the 3rd damage dice in order) shifts to a tac bomber.

Result:
1 bomber hit
Factory +7 points
Airfield -5 points

All in all not a bad day for you.

Unfortunately it’s a PITA to make the adjustments since the German turn is over.  Please make the adjustments on Russia’s turn (remote a bomber from Novo).

Now can we continue?

V

[Amon-Sul]

What is PITA?

Can U please make the changes? It is simply too confusing for me. U can even start Russian turn and just give me the map.

I trust U , but it is just too confusing for me. I hope Triple A guys will solve this thing soon, and watch out for future SBR runs. This is probably the biggest deal with Triple A now. All other minor mistakes are more easily handled.

**From the SBR run in the last posted file:

AA fire in Russia : 5,3,4,4,1
    Bombing raid in Russia rolls: 3,8,5 and causes: 16 damage to unit: factory_major
    Bombing raid in Russia rolls: 2 and**

should not it be

FActory +5
Airfield -4(2+5 =7=6 the maximum dmg)

comparing to primary SBR run of urs?

[Vold]

Here you go.

I was incorrect - The bombing rolls were 3, 8 and 5 but have a +2 modifier (hence the ‘8’ roll).  I added the modifier when I indicated the factory would be -7, but it was already added.

So removing the ‘5’ die would only remove 5 from the factory, and only add 3 to the airfield.

Adjustments are made in the attached file, and a bomber has been removed.

by the way, PITA = Pain In The A$$  :wink:
