11L '41 - Manstein (axis) v BoldFresh (Allies) Bid 6, +NOs, No Tech


  • i presume you will then lose the second destroyer and then two of the 6 aircraft


  • of course, i’m happy to take my chances if you want to re-roll the second round

  • '12

    not sure what you’re talking about.  i can lose all subs because you have destroyers present, which make the subs eligible casualties for the aircraft.

    the battle was appropriate as rolled.  i just can’t attack with the sub second round because subs can’t hit aircraft, and the sub is not eligible as a casualty for your planes because you have no destroyer present.

    well you got above average defense in the battle, so i didn’t really pick up the ground i had hoped…  yes, i did do a little better than odds, but not a whole lot.  the way i see it, i came out with 1 more plane than expected.  taking out that additional bomber and my destroyers was big.  DANG IT.  so no, i do not see that as a balancing out.

    even though it wasn’t a great result for me in that battle, i think it might be enough for me to claw back into this one.  knock on wood, as i cringe remembering the many thrashings that have happened so far…  :-P

    @Manstein:

    yeah, trust me, everything done was proper.  if you have a defending sub present, the attacker can take subs as casualties for any fighter hits.  the battle went pretty much on odds, within one hit, so i guess you should consider yourself fortunate.  with my very good first round attack roll, it could have gone much worse for you…  :-)

    yeah the defense of russia against germany was an upper 5% result in my favor (finally!) but when you take into account the extra hits you got with the japs and the italians before attacking with the germans, it was probably about on odds as a whole for the three attacks…
