Just posted a game save. You should have 2 tacs and 5 figs. I have 2 figs, 2 damaged carriers and 6 bombers. Have to look up again how to do forum dice. Should be just a couple of minutes.

practice run through

: dice 6:

crap. Will look it up again. If you see this and remember feel free to post instructions or start the battle.

again, just a test.

: dice 6d6:

I’ve done this before but all the instructions I can find quickly online I think are old. Or I’m just missing something. Will keep looking.

final test I hope

: dice 6:

Farmboy, I told Adam before, please let me show you how to run dice properly.

The command you use it ok for convoy rolls, however for battle rolls this goes so much better. Please look at the attached screenshot and see how beautiful and immediately ready for evaluation forum dice could look like ;-)

Rolls: 5@1 2@2 3@3 1@4; Total Hits: 45@1: (6, 6, 3, 2, 1)2@2: (3, 4)3@3: (3, 1, 5)1@4: (1)

This command will throw 6-sided dice - 5 for units that hit on a 1, 2 dice that hit on a 2, 3 dice that hit on a 3, and 1 dice that hits on a 4.

So this would be a throw for 6 infantry, 1 artillery, 3 tanks, and 1 bomber.

thanks JDOW

I have to think about my casualties in relation to the UK turn but probably I’m only taking bombers off. I assume your casualties would be the two tacs and 3 fighters?

@Adam514:

Yeah, but why keep carriers alive?

Because of the retreat they are back in 110 and will repair at the end of the turn. I thought the carrier may still be useful to me to support transports or as cannon fodder against your next fleet. :) But I ended up dropping one carrier and keeping a bomber. Its too bad I didn’t make that decision on the first round.

For some reason, the edit took out the bombers with more range. I will be editing again and landing two on Scotland.

I had a weird glitch on the China Turn. I could build an inf and had the option of placing it in the Himalayas. I’m assuming its a technical error but thought this might be a special rule in BM?

Assuming its just a technical error, there may be a China inf held over that I shouldn’t place, if a China territory becomes open again.

Sorry for all the comments and corrections. Just thought this was better to say in advance of the UK turn. Landing an inf in Holland that was already on a transport from a previous turn. I would like to drop the art on the transport in the UK. I’m pretty sure that I can’t do that and both units must land in Holland if I want both to be off the transport on this turn. If that is the case, both units will land and I will edit after.

Also 8 air are hitting the transport in 112 and I am assuming no scramble.

@farmboy:

I’m assuming its a technical error but thought this might be a special rule in BM?

Yep, this is a special BM rule. Whenever Germans, Italians and Japanese occupy China entirely, the “unholy trinity”-sacrament gets activated creating an immortal Chinese unit that spawns in the Himalaya and that can shoot a rocket each turn PRIOR to the actual Chinese turn. The rocket auto-hits and removes a hostile unit. As this is prior to the Chinese turn, a Chinese inf will spawn in the affected territory in case only one unit occupied it.

The rule was designed to make it harder to hold China in case all Axis powers invaded it. Thus, the Axis need at least 2 units per territory in order to prevent it from spawning guerrillas.
