@Arthur:

Seriously… +45.  Sigh, my scrambling luck stinks.

Average was +10, so I guess so.

Mind you, without the scramble it was a +19 average, so on that metric it was the right decision.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Yeah, it was within the random craziness of a dice game… I just was hoping to at least kill the subs.
