Private Panic Axis vs Surprise Attack Allies + 12

That is 6 hits in total. Sorry Kris!

What do you want to take as casualties?

I could guess but let’s get this battle finished with no more problems!

One each on the battleship, two to kill the carrier, then both destroyers?

Leaving you with 2 damaged battleships, 1 cruiser, 1 fighter and 1 tactical_bomber.

You also need to let me know whether you wish to continue or retreat. If the latter, where to?

Sorry that this is such a different outcome to triple A.

Had a look Kris. I was feeling bad about those round 1 re-rolls, so am happy to rethink. You are correct - on triple A the US got 5 hits and J got 6. So we could assign round one according to that and then use forum dice for round 2, etc to finish the combat.

Shall we do that?

Americans attack with 2 battleships, 1 carrier, 1 cruiser, 2 destroyers, 1 fighter and 1 tactical_bomber
Japanese defend with 1 battleship, 3 carriers, 1 cruiser, 1 destroyer, 4 fighters and 2 tactical_bombers

J takes the 5 hits as 1 on the battleship, 2 on 1 carrier, 1 DD, 1 fig, 1 TB

Leaves 1 damaged BB, 2 undamaged carriers, 3 figs, 1 TB

How does US take the 6 hits? That is the same as the forum dice, so my guess is one each on the 2 BBs, 2 to kill the carrier and both destroyers? Leaving 2 damaged BBs, 1 cruiser, 1 fig and 1 TB.

As below, continue rather than surrender?

I will then continue with the forum dice.

Actually I think I can proceed as above given your previous guidance as to casualties and not retreating. Hope so or we will be having to it yet again!

BTW am going to change the J fig casualty to the second TB.

So J has 1 damaged BB, 2 undamaged carriers, 4 figs left.

Round 2 - US:

2 damaged BBs -Rolling 2d6:
(1, 5)

1 cruiser -Rolling 1d6:
(1)

1 fig - :1d6:

1 TB - :1d6:

Bloody hell!

1 fig -Rolling 1d6:
(2)

1 TB -Rolling 1d6:
(1)

That is 4 out of 5 that hit! How do you do it Kris!

Will take 2 on an AC and 2 figs.

Round 2 - J:

1 damaged BB -Rolling 1d6:
(2)

2 undamaged carriers -Rolling 2d6:
(4, 4)

4 figs -Rolling 4d6:
(1, 2, 2, 3)

That is 5 hits, so you have been wiped out, leaving me with a damaged BB, 1 AC and 2 figs.

Shall I edit that in and then get on with the Italian turn?
