So, basically when a convoy is raided and you have ASW, for each raiding submarine, you roll:

one D6+1 compared to the raider’s D6 to see if your convoy loses IPP one D12 against each raiding submarine, hitting on a 1 or 2

The D12 is a “free Defense roll”, as it does not depend on surface warships or aircraft on MAP being on escrot duty.

See table 9-8 in the rules for all modifiers, including ASW.

1d6: 5

@captainnapalm said in 2020 Playoff Amon-Sul L+16 vs Captain Napalm X BM:

@amon-sul Thank you. Good game. I applaud you trying out some new strategies. They gave me a hard time. I agree it is hard for the UK navy in the Indian Ocean to compete with the larger Japanese navy. But, if you had coupled that with pressure from the US navy, rather than the unit shuck to Soviet Far East, that might have been a powerful combination.

Well, I ll explore new stuff in the games to come.

I wish U godspeed.

@Panther
Yikes! Ok, thanks, again. Making sure everyone updates to the latest version, before starting a new game, is, inevitably, mid-game, for their other games, which would then mess up those games. Installing and running different Triple A versions in different directories sounds like a nightmare to this tech challenged fella. It doesn’t sound like I have a choice, though. Dammit!

@CaptainNapalm GG i concede

@Ghostglider Thank you. It was a great game! Other than each having late blunders with our European navies, I thought it was a very clean game. Multiple times it felt like one side was losing, only to have that person come back and swing the game in their favor again. It was exhausting, trying to solve the puzzle, but satisfying to pull out the win. I think you are the best player I’ve played this year! Good luck, and Happy New Year!

Savegame

@CaptainNapalm Thank you for the savegame.

Indeed, when I use your savegame the situation appears to be resolved incorrectly.

However I have recreated similar scenarios using the current TripleA pre-release (2.3.21385) on different maps (including BM3). All of those have been resolved correctly.

So there was

a question to attack or not a question to submerge or not correct surprise strike execution

That brings me to the following conclusion:

Either there has been an issue with the engine (what I doubt but cannot exclude for sure) but the issue has already been resolved with current versions or there is an issue with your game that contains some triggers that might have somehow messed up the correct resultion of the situation (what I cannot examine in depth, knowing too little about that specific game).

So I recommend to

install and run the latest TripleA-version and the latest map-version begin a new game and see if that issue occurs again

Maybe @regularkid wants to take a look into it, too.

Yes, these 3 were exciting. I’d like to play again soon but I think there’s a rule where we can only play 3 times every 10 games? I’ll check to see…

@CaptainNapalm Tank Designer: “We don’t need armor on top of the tank. Who is going to hit the top of the tank?”

Two years later, an anti-tank gunner is lining up to nail the engine and halt the tank - from 20 meters up…

@GeneralHandGrenade Excellent! Thank you, GHG.

“In other words you could place 5 infantry AND 5 ships at a territory with a major shipyard and a major factory. The shipyard is a factory for ships but needs to be connected to the factory for supply purposes.”

Completely changed my understanding of shipyards!

@CaptainNapalm Gg Cap. I had some early dice luck so I pressed it. Yes, tiebreaker time. Post that one and we can go!

@Sovietishcat Yes, it was fun. Good game.

My bad on this one Panther. I just finished a game where I thought subs were denying the NO, but it seems even when the allied fleets left the Med, there was at least one dd or ac remaining. Sorry about that! :)

@The_Good_Captain The @Colonel_Sanders and I will decide how best to counter this aggression, and respond in kind!

PS. Thanks for setting up the game. ;-)
