@mr_stucifer

I can’t imagine you wouldn’t want to go round for round for casualty choices.

I have scrambled the fig and tac from Malta to SZ 96 and did not scramble to Malta from 96. Obviously, we can change that if you so desire.

I will be conducting the SZ 96 battle first.

As it is a complicated combat round, and quite possibly a game ending battle, I wanted all terms clear prior to first rounds of combat. Once you confirm the current set up, I will press the big red button.

It disappoints me greatly to inform you the 3 test plays I did to get a feel for how this may or may not work out ended with Italy winning with figs and a damaged BB left and capturing Malta in 2 of them. While I understand dice chances are exactly the same each and every time, the skeptical me feels that this nearly guarantees a loss for me as no dicing computer program is actually random. I doubt you share in my disappointment. ;-)

Due to this, I won’t start the battle to at least Tuesday, to shake that feeling off so I won’t have hard feelings when I do not beat the odds.

[mainah]

Actually I just remembered that amphib combat has to be conducted first. According to global rules, which ptv uses unless otherwise stated in the notes. At least to my understanding.

That may affect your scramble descions.

All other parts of my statement above remain the same.

[Stucifer]

@mainah For key battles I’m fine doing round by round, however with my schedule this week between work, family, and a wedding (not mine!) it would be a detriment to the game.

Regular OOL in tripleA except: lose tacs and 2 fighters before any cruisers

I’ve been playing this wrong, I’ve always done all sea battles first and then amphib and then land! I think I read the “Step 1: Sea Combat” in the rulebook as being a general combat rule not just for amphibs

[Stucifer]

@mainah Full scramble from Malta. The Regia Marina will taste the bottom of the Mediterranean, even if it costs us Valetta!

I played like you for years, then an opponent called me out earlier this year and I had to look it up. It goes bombing raids, amphib s, then as you wish. As a sub-set of amphib, that goes the related sea battle if applicable, then the amphib assault.

I have no problem slow rolling the battle to accommodate your schedule. As it is so crucial, I feel the need to unilaterally over ride you OOL for your own good. Your elo will suffer far more from a loss from me than vice versa. If we rated the old way, I don’t think it’d matter as much, but now “it’ll go on your permanent record” (in the voice and cadence of the Violent Femmes)

[Stucifer]

@mainah Well I am available for the next two hours if you want to pound it out real quick. The opening salvo is the most important, if Italy whiffs enough I will probably try to save a carrier.

@mr_stucifer

8 hits by the allies!

I am down to 2 SS, 1 CA, a tilted BB, 2 figs, 1 tac.

SS got a hit.

American or British CA?

[Stucifer]

@mainah British CA, but may change to carrier depending on the rest of the rolls. Technically I can wait to choose casualties on the submarine strike until you roll the others, tripleA just doesn’t support it due to the way it is coded, unfortunate in edge cases like this

[mainah]

@mr_stucifer
Actually, rule book says sub hits, when they are surprised, roll first, and hits assigned first, as the hits do not get a return shot.

3 more hits. With the CA gone, you have 3 CA’s, tilted BB, CV, 3 figs
