I’ve been fiddling with this on and off all morning, and cannot decide what to do! I’ve skipped ahead and tried out the UK’s first turn, but when I thought I had come up with something I had missed, then I realised that the Japanese would have already moved in and taken the area my ‘brilliant plan’ was going to have been using!
I also went into my email, and found Marti dice rolls for one of the times that I fiddled around with their turn, but not for all of the times, so not sure exactly what that is all about.
Anyway, I still have not a clue what to due with the UK after their navy is all gone and Egypt has been taken on turn one. Guess I’ll just make it up as I go. Anyway, incase you are seeing Marti rolls in your email, let me know if there are multiple ‘run throughs’? I’m about to do Russia ‘for real’, and this time I’ll be posting my results.
Oh, and does it make a difference when playing a run through as to how you set it up? I’ve tried to use the PBF saved game file, and load it up as a local game, but it always has the same features as a PBF game, no matter what.

I cannot believe what just happened. One of your destroyers singlehandedly sunk a battleship. Low luck indeed.

How in the ???
-
Ok, in the Baltic, the RAF is attacking, but without a DD in the battle, your sub wants to know wether to submerge or not BEFORE I get any attacker rolls. Reading up on this in the AE rules, aircraft hits cannot be counted against submarines unless there is a DD in the battle, and the sub cannot fire on the aircraft at all, I’m going to submerge your sub. If this is not ok, let me know and we can go back and redo that, ok?

I’m so glad I took a nap, and got some rest before hopping back on tonight. Without sleep, I might well have fallen for this trap.
As I understand it, a SS or TR do not block naval movement in AE,
While a DD does!Things are indeed looking grim for the allies, with only the “Remember the Alamo” type defense in the Philippine Islands to look to as an example.

@gribble Heh heh, I had just two battles, and lost them both! Looking closer, I see something that I cannot explain.
Ok, so as I understand LL, the process is to take the total of all the chances, of all the units in a battle, and them together and then divide by 6, and roll any fractions remaining on a single d6, with your chance for one last extra hit being remainder/6?
So, unless there is yet another rule change I’m not aware of, or some basic change in a units combat stats, I’m at a total loss to explain the above battle.
For the Russians:
10@1 + 1@3 = 13, so 13/6 = 2 + 1/6 remainder (2+1/6)
For the Germans:
8@2 = 16, so 16/6 = 2 + 4/6 remainder (2 + 4/6)So, using LL we should have seen each side hit 2 times ‘automatically’, and then seen third hits being 1/6 for the Russians (Hard, but not impossible) and 4/6 for the Germans (most likely, but not a sure thing).
The summary, however, shows the hits as 3 Russian and 4 German. Unless the German units {tanks, arty, and inf} defend on something other than a ‘1-2’, something is wrong.
Russia getting three hits is very unlikely, but possible, but Germany getting 4 hits is not possible at all, right?
Second round of combat we should have seen the Russians with 1 tank and 7 infantry, but let’s go with the 1 and 6, so
For the Russians:
6@1 + 1@3 = 9, so 9/6 = 1 + 3/6 (1+3/6)
For the Germans:
5@2 = 10, 10/6 = 1 + 4/6 (1 + 4/6)This time, the Russians score one hit, and don’t get lucky with a second hit, while the German should hit twice two thirds of the time, and yet, we once again see the Germans score an impossible 3 hits?!?!
And after all this, I go reload the game and discover that yes, the game designers did indeed change the tanks to a 3/3 unit, and so the calculations above are correct with those values.
Grrrr.
I hate being surprised by things that have changed from what I am used to, but I guess it’s just going to be a long and painful process learning new things, and making mistakes that everyone is going to be entertained by reading here.
DOH!!!

What were tanks in the old game? I admit, I’ve never played it
