Right on. Wasn’t sure if it would or not. Triplea will give you the dice rolls and hits but you have to select the hits manually. You can select as many as there are units. All or none.

So, Idk if you can ignore early hits and add them at a later stage, if that would work or not for the issue.

At any rate, it requires one to be deliberate while using it :)

@barnee @gamerman01
I have used edit mode during a battle with subs before in a league game, if you are methodical, you select 0 casualties with the subs and then post the game save after the next dice rolls -

Then your opponent can see the dice in the game summary (and/or their MARTI email if they are so inclined), give OOL, and then you boot up the save and select the casualties and continue the battle.

If there’s a mistake at some point with casualty selection, if you’re posting the save file multiple times it should be “not-too-difficult”—albeit possibly annoying & frustrating—to go back to a specific round and redo the battle from there.

the screen shot was in edit mode so you can’t ignore them. I failed to clearly communicate that shot was from edit mode

Well not following here but that’s ok :) If you hit “OK” in the screenshot, it will select zero casualties and move to the next step. Then you would essentially have 1 hit in the bank for future use that you would need to remember.

Anyway, sounds as if Stucifer has a good work around :)

Exactly what I was trying to say, but with more clarity. Thanks! Posting the turn summary & save also means it is easy to track in case your opponent cannot give OOL immediately, which is usually the case.

I’ve seen most people do this already for big battles, so the only “extra” step is putting edit mode on first! 🤓

@gamerman01 if you want we can run a mock battle here

That’s cool, and I want YOU to set it up LOOOOL

I have a lot going on!!

Fair, posting it here so everyone can see how it works!

So subs got 1 hit, then other units got 2 hits, so UK would have 3 hits to assign as casualties here.

I get an OOL from my opponent, put those in, then keep rolling. Perhaps he chooses to keep the destroyer since I have the 2 subs, so let’s assume that.

Thanks @barnee @gamerman01 and @Stucifer. Following along with your discussion and testing out that save in TripleA I see now how this works and feel confident enough to do this now in an actual game.

@gamerman01 Guess that’s an option. I just think you are making it more difficult than it needs to be in >90% of cases. Just use the assumption rules which are already there in the league rules. In most cases it is obvious anyway.
