    if your defense roll is poor, this could be a whole new game.


  • lose BB hit, 2 DD to subs
    lose 2 ACC, BB, 3 DD to non subs
    = left for r2: 4 fgt


  • luck balancing out again
    that’s 4 over par for you according to my calculator
    top 10% result

  • '12

    I think it was between 2 and 3 hits over but let’s not speak of balance until we see your defense, which has been particularly scalding in naval battles.

    The way you get expected number of hits is to add up the total attack number and divide by six.  So for my attack roll it was 38/6 or 6.3.  For your defense it was 34/6 or 5.6.

  • surely you can’t lose 6 subs first time
    one of the 4 hits was from a fighter, which can’t hit a sub, so it must have hit something else, presumably a destroyer, which reduces the number you can roll for in r2


  • they didn’t hit r2, so i’ll let it ride if you want to
    but pls reflect the extra DD lost when you do map


  • 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.

    z50 cwlo 6 subs, 2 des, bom

    NC

    z53 - 2 acc (z52), 4 ftr (z50), trn (z56)
    haw - bom (z50), inf, arm (wca)
    z18 - acc (z10), ftr (z22), ftr (bra)
    eca - AA (wca)

    place 3 inf, 3 arm (eus)
    place 3 trn (z10)
    place ftr (wus)

    collect  53, has 53

    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…  :-)
