thanks for getting to this so quickly Bold. Art, how do you wish to proceed? And going forward I guess we should roll naval battles on the forum, do you know how to do this?

[ArtofWar1947]

Not sure how to roll naval battles on the forum, but would be glad to learn.

My two attacking dd

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

Your D rolls: 1 BB, 2CR + 3 fgt, 2cv & dd and your one ss.
Rolls: 1@4 3@2 2@2 1@1; Total Hits: 31@4: (2)3@2: (6, 6, 1)2@2: (1, 6)1@1: (4)

[666]

it’s pretty simple.

you typically type what you are rolling, offensive or defensive rolls and then the formula.

attacking with a BMB, 2 fgt, 2inf & 2art & 4 inf

;aaa 1@4 2@3 4@2 4@1; etc……

simply replace the ; symbol with the : and you are good…give it a try…

[ArtofWar1947]

I think I understand the coding, but what does the aaa indicate?

Also, where am I typing this?

Forgive my ignorance.

no worries man, all last year I played global and just screwed around trying to get the hang of the new game and triple a. I didn’t really play a lot of attention to the triple a game mechanics etc…this year I am trying to be a bit more focused, improve my record etc…so, in the past all games here were simply played on this forum using battlemap and all dice were simply recorded here in these posts, so just as I wrote that my attack into sz110 w/fgt, tac & 2 ss’s rolls areRolls: 2@2 1@3 1@4; Total Hits: 02@2: (6, 3)1@3: (5)1@4: (5)

[666]

I would then roll your defending units, BB, CR & 2 ddRolls: 1@4 1@3 2@2; Total Hits: 11@4: (6)1@3: (3)2@2: (3, 6)

[ArtofWar1947]

So are the rolls still being generating by Marti, and I am simply specifying the results I see with Marti?

Or is there another dice-rolling mechanism that is used?

[666]

so I had zero hits and you had one and the combat sequence would continue right here on this site.

So for triple A I have just been told that we need to roll multiple targeted (IC, Airbase or Harbor) BMB & TAC strategic attacks here in the forum….i.e…3 bmb’s strat attacks on the IC…3 aa guns fireRolls: 3@1; Total Hits: 13@1: (1, 5, 3)& 1 tac strat bombing run on airbase aa fireRolls: 1@1; Total Hits: 01@1: (6)

because triple a doesn’t handle this correctly either, it rolls all aa fire at once and the attacker can then choose to lose the tac when, perhaps the aa fire should have taken out a bmb.

This is also true for naval battles, as triple a doesn’t roll these correctly when ss are involved or when there is naval and air involved with a battle. This kind of really stinks as we will need to forgo the triple a dice or supercede and edit the results after we use the forum dice. Many of the tops players do this now and in close games, such as ours when the triple a system screws you out of a fgt I can see why it’s done.

@ArtofWar1947:

We would forgo the Marti dice results and utilize the “in-house” diceRolls: 3@4; Total Hits: 13@4: (6, 5, 1)etc….and follow the in house results and the correct gaming rules combat process.

Then edit the results into triple a.

Do you understand. I know this stinks…

[ArtofWar1947]

Have to hit the road; will be on out of contact for 4 to 5 hours. Get back to you late this PM or early evening.

[ArtofWar1947]

It’s beginning to make sense.

I have asked “gamerman”, who is running the league to share with me/us his list of triple A issues and problems so we can both better understand going forward.

Speak soon.

here is a link to the report….it would be in our best interest to review and follow these procedures going forward.

[ArtofWar1947]

My head reels. Fortunately, most of triple A problems are not relevant to our game.

How does AA work if a defender, say, has 2 AA gun and the attacker attacks 3 fighters, 3 tacs, and 3 bombers? As only 6 aircraft can be targeted for an AA roll @1, how are six of the nine attacking aircraft targeted/chosen?

The attacker allocates the hits however he wishes.

Hello Art, I woke up this morning thinking about the last UK turn, and attack in z110. Crazy huh,  :roll: anyways, I did figure things incorrectly. Although the sequence of the sz110 attack was incorrect, the proper amount of dice were “thrown”, somehow when it all happened I thought the german dd had a sort of sneak attack on the fgt and this wasn’t the case.

This is probably good for me because it made me delve into the triple a irregularities which is something I need to be more cognizant of. So, I will try to use the in-house dice for AA guns in instances where triple A doesn’t do it right and the same for naval battles, please bear with me.

Other than that I will continue, thanks for your patience.
