I just forgot to move 2 anzac subs hidden in US fleet off Japan, so I edited it in the last post.

btw, I would have intercepted that Moscow bombing raid, but as I guess you would like to keep the AA shots and bombing damage rolls as they happened in your roll then it does not make much sense for me to intercept you… I would need 2 hits @ 1 to actually get any chance to have not fully damaged factory.

Also, tripleA does AA shots wrong, AA shots shall be directed against specific planes… so if you are sending mixed force and/or bombing different targets you shall make a note into the forum in what order are tripleA rolls will allocated to specific attacking planes. In other words if my AA did get 1 shot you could not simple chose tactical bomber as casualty but would have to take down that specific plane specified before the AA roll.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Sorry about your intercept; I thought that you wouldn’t want to risk your planes.  Roll it during your allied turn.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

I need to do it so that I can use my Japanese bombers over Moscow in case it is not fully damaged.  Here are the results:

Your dice (3, correct?)
2,2,4 (no hits)

My dice (5, correct?)

6, 1, 3, 6, 2 (1 hit)

I assume that this is the correct procedure.  I haven’t done intercepts manually in a while.

[nerquen]

I had 4 fighters in Moscow (1 from Anzac), also I am intercepting only if we also reroll AA shots and bombing raid damage… otherwise… as I wrote earlier it does not make much sense for me

waw, are you kidding me 1,1,1 on AA shots against Japanesse bombers… if it happened any earlier in the game it can be so devastating for the bombing side… instead of damage of ~ 10-15 to the enemy the attacker would have damage 36…

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Misread that… add back in your Russian plane.
