I had a good chance to win in Yunnan, some 84 % or so. Hardly a gamble, but definately one of the more expensive battles to lose.
Yeah not saying you shouldn’t have won, just saying it’s a battle I like to “guarantee” winning.
I gave it a lot of thought before I moved. Thats probably why it went wrong :-)

So my sub never fired in the SZ 106 battle. Must be a tripleA glitch. How should we handle that?
Did my sub hit you first? I suppose the presence of my DD while also having a sub allowed my sub to make a surprise attack first? I think that is the natural order of combat. If you would have had a DD too I would not have had a surprise attack.
If I am mistkaen then I suggest you just roll your attack on the forums :-)
Look at page 27 step 2 in the rulebook :-)
Ah, you are correct sir. Been playing that rule wrong for years! I always assumed subs could not be victims of surprise attacks.
