The funny thing is since I haven’t played in a while now, I thought convoy hits were only at 1-2 for some reason.  So I was like damn nice, all misses… then saw the total lost to convoys and realized 3 was the maximum hit roll  :lol:

@Gamerman01:

Bold, your posts are so ambiguous

Huh?  The roll was 16 damage with 8 dice… that is incredible.  Course it was 7 over max so it was wasted but still awesome.

[gamerman01]

But who knows what perspective you are talking from?

Are you sincere and looking from the Allies perspective?  (which you apparently were)

Or were you sarcastic and looking from the Axis perspective?

Or were you serious and looking from the Axis perspective? (like if you momentarily forgot that 3’s do damage like Hobo did)

There’s 3 possibilities, with only 2 being required for ambiguity  :-)
