14L G50 hobo (axis) vs vold (allies +11)

Scramble Italy?

Also, check the OOL for the Carolines battle.  I gave you max damage since I was staying until the end, but wound up splashing a plane because of it thanks to your high hit % in your 2nd to last round.  I expected to have another good round of attacks but the battle ended sooner than expected.

If it’s kosher as is we can move on, but if you wanted something different we can swap plane deaths for ships or something that doesn’t change the dice.  Some swaps would change the dice and possibly change the outcome of the last round, so it’s probably fine the way it is.  But I’ll let you be the judge of that.

ugh - I borked that italy OOL too.  Results are fine but I dislike splashing planes on either side.

I should find a way to play after my coffee and not before  :x

You’re right - I was in a rush to get to work (my first problem) and didn’t scramble your fighters.  I tapped through sz97 and withdrew from Iraq, then just pulled down the file and re-did it without thinking twice about it.

We can use the original dice, no worries.  It’ll take a bit of effort to untangle the dice but I have some time.

OK, starting with the file from the post “Combat Adjustment in Iraq” and ignoring the other files posted:

Iraq - 1 art, 6 inf (1 cruiser) vs. 3 inf

Cruiser shore fire (from MARTI dice email)
Your dice are: 3
1 hit

Round 1 (from MARTI dice email):
Your dice are: 1,5,2,5,1,5,6
Assuming it’s 2@2 and 4@1, that’s 2 hits.

3/3 hits total in Iraq

Iraq Defense 3 inf (from MARTI dice email 8:10)
Your dice are: 2,3,4
1 hit

Conclusion - 1 art, 5 inf in Iraq.  All per the 8:10 MARTI emails.

sz next….

SZ 97 - Round 1
UK: 1 bomber, 1 cruiser, 1 destroyer, 3 fighters and 1 tactical_bomber, 1CV

UK dice: Your dice are: 5,2,4,6,5,6,3
2 hits (you mentioned 4, but if the dice are in order then I only see 2, the cruiser and tac)

Italians: 1 battleship, 2 cruisers, 1 destroyer and 1 transport
Your dice are: 2,6,5,1 (2 hits)
Italians: 3 fighters
Rolls: 3@3; Total Hits: 23@3: (2, 2, 4)

sz97 - Round 2
Italians hit 4 times, I’ll take the CV (x2), cruiser and dd.
UK hit 2 times, I’ll pull the dd and 1 cruiser

UK: 1 bomber, 3 fighters and 1 tactical_bomber
2 at 4, 3 at 3
Rolls: 2@4; Total Hits: 12@4: (5, 3)
Rolls: 3@3; Total Hits: 23@3: (1, 5, 2)

italy: 1 battleship, 1 cruiser, and 3 fighters
4 at 4, 1 at 3
Rolls: 4@4; Total Hits: 24@4: (6, 6, 1, 1)
Rolls: 1@3; Total Hits: 11@3: (2)

I should have damaged your battleship instead of taking the cruiser - cruiser here

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

sz 97 - Round 2 results
UK 3 hits, Italy 3 hits
UK will pull 2 fighters and 1 tac
I’ll pull 2 cruisers and a fighter for Italy

UK will withdraw, 1 bomber and 1 fighter
Italy has 1 damaged battleship, 1 tt and 2 fighters

Noodle through the results if you don’t mind and make sure I got it right.  You mentioned that I had 4 hits in round 1 but I only saw 2, if you are correct I’d like to get those hits and possibly re-evaluate the combat depending on what you pull.

On why I simply re-rolled, I’ve seen a couple of examples in League where battles were simply scrapped and re-done if the initial force wasn’t set correctly and I just placed this scenario into that category.  I should have pinged you about it and I apologize for that - I was in a rush to do a quick turn and get to work as I mentioned, I should have waited until I had more time.

The adjusted file is attached.  Ignore the history for those battles.
