Before I continue with UK’s turn, can units load into a TT if the SZ is currently contested? Pic related:

@the_good_captain Do you mind if I roll some extra dice, then? I took my full health French BB Vs. your Damaged BB + CR during the French turn. Both sides scored a hit then I stopped (with the idea that the British BB would finish the job while the TTs went on to Karelia). I would like instead to press combat with the French BB instead, with the hope of either killing the damaged German BB or at least getting a tie to clear to clear the Sea Zone.

@the_good_captain Rolled 10 dice to speed up the process (in case of a double-miss) and got bad luck lol. Readout below:

5, 1, 2, 1, 1, 5, 6, 3, 2, 1

So, the French roll was a “5” (miss) and the German roll was a “1” (hit). will edit accordingly.

The rest of the turn went well for UK/Entente Navies but losing a turn tempo-wise getting from UK -> Karelia made the gambit I played in Poland R1 retroactively not worth it at all.

@the_good_captain said in TGC(CP) v DoManMacgee(Entente) [game 6]:

@domanmacgee just a heads up - the UK transports did not have to evacuate the SZ of battle. In other words, even if the UK navy had been defeated, they could simple declare they are “no longer attacking” and simply exist in the SZ with the enemy BB. Here is a thread I opened on that topic: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/39406/transports-and-hostile-sea-zone-question/2

I understood that, but I moved those TTs for a reason. It’ll probably make more sense next turn.

@the_good_captain said in TGC(CP) v DoManMacgee(Entente) [game 6]:

@domanmacgee another weird bit about TripleA - it gets the sub rules wrong. If/when you go for the German sub, use the manual dice roller. Reason being - if the first shot(s) are a miss, the sub owner can decide to forgo a return shot and submerge instead, ending the combat.

Noted.

Will get to I2/USA2 later today.

As you can probably imagine, that Sevastopol battle was supposed to go a bit differently…

1914-game-7-r3.tsvg

(PS: I did the R CR Vs. G SUB battle properly. They killed each other in one round of combat).

@the_good_captain Nope. I totally bungled it. Best fix would probably be to:

1. Roll the die and get a hit on 3 or less.
2. I got exactly 2 hits with UK, so if you hit, then we can either:
   a. Roll a 50/50 chance to see if a hit gets retroactively removed from Germany.
   b. Re-roll the 3 surviving UK units (3@3) to see if they are still able to kill the Germans.
