2024 Playoff OOB Round 1 Pacifiers Board (+42) v Gamerman01

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?

It works, I did it in local, so we can do no dice from now on. I don’t like dice with them anyway, I liked it better before.

Carriers do no damage, but planes do 2 a piece
When rolling dice, planes roll 2 dice like subs, and carriers don’t roll

LOL that’s a blunder on my part to agree to this. The random rolling of convoy damage is better for the convoy attacker.

Assuming the Allies do more convoy attacking than the Axis, I think we found a way to reduce bids in OOB

It took 2 rounds for the Germans to score 1 hit,
With sub, destroyer, 2 fighters.

But the allies have missed
So I have to interrupt play to ask if you’ll lose the UK sub or USA destroyer in 125

If you can give an advance order of loss for Z96 it will save an interruption, but it’s understandable if you don’t want to do that. Only you, the commander of all the Allied forces in the world, can say!

If you can’t give advance order of loss on 96, it is fine with me if you roll it on forum and give choices that way

Or just go as normal, give me sub or destroyer choice 125 and then wait for me to roll 96 in Triple A and wait again. Doesn’t matter to me

@simon33 Yay! You’ve improved my life and that of my opponents, never seen that, thank you
