Scramble orders + we probably should roll the battle on the forum. As Triple A allows submarines to fire first even with destroyers present and there are 28 on my side and 11 on your side currently.

[Seador]

sure, I’ll scramble all planes.

I’d think for me you can tip all the capitol ships, then go up the food chain through subs, DD, CA.  Clearly, you might have to save a DD to allow my planes to hit.

I’ll use all my kamikazi vs your DDs.

[Guest]

Lets start with kamikaze. 1 kamikaze for 1 destroyers. so 6 destroyers are being attacked.

[Guest]

ugh nvm I forgot 2 battleships on your side at the beginning. How do you want to resolve that.

[Seador]

Bit of a pickle, not so much for the missed BBs but because you rolled good and I rolled bad.

The sim tells us that you should end up with about 23 units after.  I’d be OK with setting the board to that.

That would leave you with 6 CV, 10 planes and a tipped BB.

The other option I’m good with, and one that reflects the dice throws already is just to add in 1 hit in for the first round, then 2 hits for the other 2 to reflect the two BBs and the 2 DDs that wouldn’t have sunk, if you follow.

That would put the order of battle after the last round you posted:

15 hits go to 15 us submarines. That leaves the following fleet:
7 carriers (0)
7 submarines, 6 destroyers, 13 total rolling at 2:
2 cruisers, 11 fighters, 13 rolling at 3:
1 battleship , 3 tactical bombers , 4 rolling at 4

14 hits go to 9 destroyers, 5 carriers. That leaves the following fleet:
1 destroyers, 1 carrier, 2 total rolling at 2
2 cruisers, 7 tactical bombers, 9 total rolling at 3
8 fighters, 2 Battleships rolling at 4

I’m in favor of the second option because it preserves the dice rolls and allows for great acts of heroism in the final couple rounds.

As an aside:  you’ll want to rolls subs in a seperate batch, as they can’t hit planes, and Kami’s hit on 2, not 1.

[Seador]

I made a mistake in my post, your sub group should be down another 3 units to 4, reflecting 1 hit in the first round (8 attack factors from the BBs) and 2 hits in the second round (8 attack factors from the BBs, and 4 from the sunk DDs that should have been taken as soaks).

[Guest]

I actually assigned 8 hits to your capital ships (6 carriers and 2 battleships), which means all I forgot was rolling dice for the battleships.

[Guest]

And you are right about the kamikaze, but fortunately no 2s were rolled.

[Guest]

BTW third and more fair option would be rolling for the 2 battleships and change things retroactively. If you score a hit with a bs then I can sink a carrier or a submarine. If I go for the carrier nothing changes retroactively other the fact that I have less carriers left. If I go for a submarine I roll for the submarine in the following round along with the bs and if the submarine rolls a hit, then 1 hit gets removed retroactively.

[Seador]

I’m fine with that resolution.

[Guest]

That means I will have to roll for your bbs 3 times.

Round 1:
Rolls: 2@4; Total Hits: 22@4: (3, 1)

[Guest]

I sink 2 carriers. Other then the fact I only have this left at round 2:
5 carriers (0)
22 submarines, 6 destroyers, 26 total rolling at 2:
2 cruisers, 11 fighters, 13 rolling at 3:
1 battleship , 3 tactical bombers , 4 rolling at 4

Nothing changes.

Round 2 for the bbs:
Rolls: 2@4; Total Hits: 22@4: (2, 4)

[Guest]

I sink 2 submarines. That means I need to roll for those 2 submarines and I have the following fleet left for round 3:
5 carriers (0)
7 submarines, 6 destroyers, 15 total rolling at 2:
2 cruisers, 11 fighters, 13 rolling at 3:
1 battleship , 3 tactical bombers , 4 rolling at 4

Submarines:
Rolls: 2@2; Total Hits: 02@2: (4, 6)

I am also going to roll round 3 for the bbs:
Rolls: 2@4; Total Hits: 22@4: (1, 1)

[Guest]

That means we each get 15 hits in round 3. That only leaves the question how many hits are the submarines are allowed to fire. The easiest solution to this is to assume the first 9 dice are for the submarines. Of these 9 2 dice are removed, leaving 3 hits for the submarines. The other 2 are done by the destroyers.

US:
7 hits are assigned to the submarines, 5 hits are assigned to the destroyers. 2 hits are assigned to the cruisers and 1 hit is assigned to a fighter, leaving the following fleet:

5 carriers (0)
1 destroyers rolling at 2:
10 fighters rolling at 3:
1 battleship , 3 tactical bombers, 4 rolling at 4

Japan:
3 hits are assigned to the destroyer and the cruisers and a battleship, 7 hits go to the tactical bombers and the remaining 5 hits go to the fighters, leaving the following:
1 Battleship and 3 fighters, 4 rolling at 4

US:
