@JDOW:

I am not too eager to roll on the forum, however sz98 will have the “sub casuality choice first despite present destroyer”-problem

However, most likely subs will miss or hit just once, in this case tipping the battleship might be the only choice anyway?

Is this ok for you to roll in tripleA, in case of one sub hit, tip battleship and in the unrealistic case of 2 hits you make a choice and have the right the change it after all attack dice are rolled. If this would happen I would switch to the forum for the rest of the attack. Just 11% this might be necessary.

What do you think?

I think again and again. I can’t think of any extreme case in which defender would change OOL. Could you give me a clue?

In case I double hit with subs, I think tip BB and one AC is a valid option. However if the rest of the force totally whiffs I think it would be a valid option not to tip any of the ACs to keep defense for the upcoming attack.

I know this is not gonna happen often, but I don’t like to make too many assumptions of my opponent’s decisions and rather ask. Some people even underestimate some decisions and take them for granted which can lead to problems (Sometimes suicide scrambles can be a good choice e.g.)

@MagicQ:

Scramble?

Send 3 up. Battleship dies last.

I realized I forgot a US NCM.

I certainly wanted to bring the US TT+Inf,Art form Hawaii to NSW, regardless of any results in the med or middle east. However many dice have been rolled, so it’s fine if you reject, but I still wanted to ask.

I didn’t do the change yet in the upcoming maps, waiting for permission or rejection.
