Yes. OOL with this I think can get a bit tricky. So you might need to ask me about it. I think I generally want to keep the destroyer alive IF the sub is alive, so long as the odds are in my favor. So the transport doesn’t die. Unless I’m wrongly interpreting the rules about subs, which is totally possible

So round 2 when your cruiser hits and all the units are alive, I’d have taken a fighter casualty as I said previously.

It isn’t a huge deal, but the appropriate thing to do would be to redo the battle from that point. How can we do this?

Now if the cruiser hits a second time and your sub is still alive, I’d kill off the destroyer and retreat with the fighter.

It’s a small pet peeve, but I’d appreciate it if you did a better job of separating your non-combat moves from your combat moves as I like to read over your turn from start to finish and it makes a lot more sense if the combat moves lead to combats.

I think it is ok (though not by the rules) to include a batch of ships in a combat move if they are accompanying transports, even if they aren’t bombarding, as it makes moves quicker. But otherwise if you are doing noncombat moves, it makes sense to do them later. This also gives you the chance to adjust them based on combat outcomes which can be very useful.

Thank you!

Well that was a 1% odds on the Russian win.
