L24 BM Stucifer (X) vs Booper (L+22)

@Stucifer

Interesting - if the fighter had scrambled, given the rolls, the cruiser missed, and the fighter hit, so wouldn’t the cruiser, marine, and the invading transport and marines all have been sunk?

@Stucifer

oops, I meant invading infantry on the transport.

@Stucifer

Oh, I see you brought in other planes to SZ21 as well.

Well, glad I made the right decision! :)

@Stucifer

Yes, would have been super-fortunate for Allies if the fighter lived! I’ve never had a sea lion played on me, so this is new territory! Exciting either way. :)

I have some UK battles which need decisions on your part:

SZ92 Does your sub fight or submerge?
SZ43 Let me know your OOL if possible.

@Stucifer

I’m glad you mentioned it, as I was aware of some rule of this nature, but had not seen it so clearly stated as you have here! I will try to do the rolls on the forum, but haven’t done it before, will try a test.

@Stucifer

OK, will roll in ascending order.

2 subs
[dice 2d6]

1 DD
[dice 1d6]

1 CA
[dice 1d6]

1 BB
[dice 1d6]

2d6: 5, 3
1d6: 4
1d6: 3
1d6: 4

@Stucifer

2 non-sub hits, let me know your casualties at your leisure. Feel free to do your response rolls here too.

1d6<=1: 4; Hits: 0
1d6<=2: 4; Hits: 0
2d6<=4: 6, 2; Hits: 1

@Stucifer

OK, so 1 hit from you, will absorb on the BB. Carriers in BM only defend at 1? I didn’t realize!

[dice 2d6<=2] 2 subs
[dice 1d6<=2] DD
[dice 1d6<=3] CA
[dice 1d6<=4] BB

2d6<=2: 1, 6; Hits: 1
1d6<=2: 3; Hits: 0
1d6<=3: 3; Hits: 1
1d6<=4: 4; Hits: 1

@Stucifer

OK, that finishes it off. I’ll go ahead and roll your response hits. If you are rolling simultaneous, we’ll take whoever gets in first.

[dice 1d6<=2] DD
[dice 2d6<=4] Fighters

1d6<=2: 3; Hits: 0
2d6<=4: 4, 4; Hits: 2

@Stucifer

OK, battle complete. Most likely will lose 2 subs, but will take a look at the board to confirm. Will try to finish out the turn shortly.
