I am debating this one. Did you know you can post the file with the dice results so I can see it? Unless you’re on a mac, you can save during the battle and post. When the select casualties screen comes up, hit cancel. Then you can save the file and manually upload.
I get to then open the file, see how many hits you’ve got, where the units came from, who’s in the battle, etc. Piecing it together on the forum is difficult.
I disagree with “the dice results don’t count”. You can’t roll them up, then say they don’t count. It looks as though i did pretty well on the rolls (3/4 hits Round 1, 1/2 Round 2, 1/1 Round 3) you’re asking me to disctount, which makes it feel suspicious. “I’ll just roll it up, and if it goes bad for me, I’ll say it was a mistake and ask for a do-over.” While I’m not claiming you did that, can you understand how someone on the other side of the internet could interpret it as such?
I’ve been on your end in similar situations, where I attack with overwhelming force and assumed I didn’t need an OOL because it would be obvious or I would just anihilate them Round 1, so I roll it up. Then I decide for my opponent and don’t ask, and things go badly. "Oh if only I had asked for his casualties, I wouldn’t have attacked just planes in a SZ where they have no place to land.
As I see it, REGARDLESS of what casualities I select, my rolls should stand as Triple A rolled them. It was not my mistake to keep rolling before casualties were known.
HOWEVER, in order to be fair and less of an absolutist, I say we use the dice as rolled up to the point where my casualty selection would have made a difference. As such:
ROUND 1 dice for both sides still apply. You lose SS, CC, DD, continue on with Bmr Ftr Ftr. I take 3 hits and now choose to lose 2 Ftr and take a CV hit.
This is where you can decide to keep attacking and we both roll in the forums from this point. It is a fair compromise. Let me know if you continue on to sink my CV & CC, and we can roll it up (or not)
