Everything else has been rolled in Triple A. I’ll be back later to finish USA’s turn -
Interesting dice - I got 2 out of 3 bombers shot down by AA but Egypt got hit for max damage, you got 1/3 kamikazes so you ended up 2/6 for the game, I had a lackluster round 1 attack but the 2nd round was blistering and had 4 more hits than the first round?! (in the big fleet battle) and then 2 subs and a destroyer wipe out a sub and fighter?!! The dice have spoken, I guess.

OK, I’m going to roll the Philippines battle on the forum because if I recall correctly, Triple A will roll subs separately - to be sure it’s done properly it needs to be rolled here…
Yes Triple a does that. But you made me curios now how it should be rolled? Is there something we can change?
-
Yes, are you on the triple A team??? That would be amazing.
All attacking naval and air units should be rolled together, but you need to also know how many sub hits there are since they can’t hit planes. If I recall correctly, Triple A requires a casualty choice from the defender for the sub hits, without knowing how many hits are from everything else. This is incorrect, and in some instances is actually a big problem, which is why I roll them on the forum.
-
Again, to be clear, the defender should know the total number of hits against him from all naval and air units before having to choose any casualties, which is how I conducted that Z35 battle - asking you for casualties from the sum total of round 1, but noting how many hits were from submarines.

Ahh I understand, bc after the subs had rolled the dice triple a then ask you for casualties before it continues to roll for the remaining rolls to call out for casualties again. Got ya!
It makes sense to me, but I was also used to the triple a form.
I can ask if they can do something about it now, since technology developes quickly. -
Frankly, although gamerman is technically correct, this rarely plays a role. In most cases the subs will just tip capital ships or hit defender‘s subs.
Even if it is unclear, one can just allocate the sub hits assuming average damage with the rest.
And in the rare case, this selection was off then and skews the entire rest of the battle, THEN one could just abort the battle in tripleA and continue with the forum dice bot.
In 95%+ of the standard sea battles one would save this huge (and error-prone) process to roll such battles in the forum.
There are certain battles where casualty choice can be crucial. Typical example is when tipping a carrier would result in planes to crash. The other is taking the last dd down or not in case the opponent has subs left. But even in this case, the implications are usually minimal.
But this battle was standard: a 100% massacre with the defenders at a harbour. There is no other choice but to allocate sub hits in the first round to capital ships.
I would just do it, roll the rest and ask for the rest and would thus save the forum dice bot odyssey act:-)Gamerman certainly enjoys that part and he has the right to as he has the rules on his side. But Kevin, I strongly advise you against copying that practice, unless tipping capital ships has severe consequences. 😀

I disagree with JDOW, I think it matters more often than he’s saying, and the defender should never be required to choose casualties after only the subs roll. I could come up with numerous scenarios where this would be the case, but that is not necessary if you can get them to modify Triple A to stop requiring a casualty choice after subs only roll on attack. -
Until that time, I will be rolling most mixed fleet battles on the forum, and unfortunately it’s a lot more cumbersome than when we had the aaa option for the forum rolling
-
@gamerman01
But what is wrong with my practice?- You roll the subs
- You assume the casualty choice (where I insist is standard in 90% of the cases = tipping capital ships and probably sinking subs)
- You roll the rest of the first round
- Then you ask your opponent
And in case the opponent disagrees nothing has happened, you know the number of hits for the first round, can allocate them based on the defender’s choice and then you can abort in tripleA and continue in the forum
This is 100% safe and saves the effort to roll in the forum in most of the cases.
I do it all the time like this and I did not have a single battle in the last 2 years that forced me to switch to forum dice because the sub hit allocation caused any trouble.

yeah, as long as you ask opponent what he wants casualties after the rest of attackers fire (and before defenders fire), there is ZERO issue with what JDOW says. If you disagree with the initial sub casualty selection its easy to fix and there are no dice rolled that could possibly impact anything. If you disagree with that, then you just don’t understand what is being said. Its mildy annoying, but also rare. Maybe once a game?
