More tough sledding, but still no disasters

Mental lapse to not take empty Ukraine - I’d like to take it with a mech if you allow, but I won’t hold it against you if you don’t.
Just take one from Bess if you allow

That’s cool, I was a little torn, you might just capture it without loss and then I turn around and get hit so it could backfire, but thanks, I’ll take it

Lots of juicy targets for your 4 aircraft, let’s see how much you can destroy

That was generous to give the late edit, especially with those dice
I can be trusted, I did intend to take Ukraine before seeing any dice…
I can stop talking about it now, I know you’re fine but I feel a little concerned given the circumstances

Well of course that was very sporting of you and I know I don’t have to worry about it, I’ll just appreciate the gesture and of course I’m pretty generous too

OK, so I think you’re saying that because TripleA rolls dice for convoy damage, that then a non-com edit after that is technically after dice have been rolled,

And that you like having the old rule of automatic convoy damage, 1 IPC per ships, 2 for each plane on a carrier, and 2 for each sub, right?

I would have agreed to eliminating convoy blockade dice before the game, so I would also agree to that from now on in our game, as you proposed

But I’m confused because the engine will keep rolling dice and then we’d have to edit every time.
I must not be understanding - what am I missing?
