Hang on, I screwed up the attack on Southern Italy.  Apparently I never moved the people off the boat!  I’ll just roll it here and edit it in, keeping your AA gun roll.

Bombardment

Italians defend with 1 Armor and 1 Inf

Rolls: 1@2 1@3; Total Hits: 11@2: (1)1@3: (4)

[Shin-Ji]

So I lost one Inf (and one Ftr from the AA guns), you lost 2 AA guns.  Not looking good.

British attack with 1 Tnk, 1 Tac

Rolls: 1@3 1@4; Total Hits: 21@3: (3)1@4: (1)

Italians defend with 1 Inf, 1 Tnk

Rolls: 1@2 1@3; Total Hits: 11@2: (3)1@3: (2)

[Shin-Ji]

I lose the Tac rather than the Tnk, and Southern Italy is mine!

[Shin-Ji]

Oh my goodness.  I apologize.  Somehow I thought I was attacking with a tank.

OK, so using the dice rolled, for the right side but with the correct target numbers …

I got one more hit in the first round (inf supported but Art), leaving you with only one armor remaining.  But since your Inf missed on the second round, that doesn’t matter.  The Tac attacking at 3 rather than 4 doesn’t matter either.

Hrm!  Never mind, then!  I still take it with one Tank.

[Shin-Ji]

Or rather one Art!  Good Lord.

And people ask me why I don’t drink.  I just don’t have the brain cells to spare.

[Whackamatt]

Sorry, Shin Ji, but you’re pick and choosing the results you want, and it’s not sitting well with me.
The simplest way forward would be to keep ALL the dice results from what has been rolled in Triple A, and forum roll the remaining, OR redo the whole battle through Triple A.  As it was your error, the choice should be mine.

You can’t keep JUST the AA result but not the hit from my tank and your tac rolling a six.  That is essentially negating a hit of mine and giving your tac a free reroll, which isn’t fair at all.

I’ll try and recap what Triple A gave us, and then roll up what’s missing.

Italian Turn
AA:  1 hit
Inf:  Miss
Tank: 1 hit
UK
Bombardment: 1 hit (per your forum rolling)
:aaa 2@2
Tac - Miss

[Whackamatt]

Rolls: 2@2; Total Hits: 02@2: (3, 3)

[Whackamatt]

You have 1 art and 1 tac fighter remaining in the assualt.

I still have 1 AA gun, 1 infantry, 1 tank.  Let me know if you want to keep on, or have your plane retreat (the art can’t retreat because it’s an amphib).

[Shin-Ji]

Honestly, I thought I was gimping myself by keeping the AA!  Since the battle was being rerolled, I took it from there.  But if you see things differently, that’s OK with me.

[Shin-Ji]

I might as well go for the gusto

My attack (1 Art, 1 Tac)

Rolls: 1@2 1@3; Total Hits: 11@2: (1)1@3: (6)

Your defense (1 Inf, 1 Tnk)

Rolls: 1@2 1@3; Total Hits: 01@2: (3)1@3: (5)

[Shin-Ji]

OK, so I took out an AA, and we’re exactly even.

My attack (1 Art, 1 Tac)

Rolls: 1@2 1@3; Total Hits: 21@2: (2)1@3: (3)

Your defense (1 Inf, 1 Tnk)

Rolls: 1@2 1@3; Total Hits: 01@2: (4)1@3: (6)

[Shin-Ji]

Jolly good show!  I win, everything stays the same except I now have one more Tac.

Deepest apologies for my misstep earlier.  I was thinking that we’d continue from the last valid stage of combat, but your point that I was ignoring some dice that were very much in your favor was well taken.  Honestly, I hadn’t even really looked at those dice at the time.
