uh, oh, I think I clicked out of the game before I saved…. I will have to recreate…  :-P

Ignore second dice.

Also, it looks like I rolled 2 extra fighters in 6.  So, I can just reroll or take 2 dice of dice chain right to left.  Which would you prefer?

@BerntBernt:

What do you mean two extra fighters in 6?

Either keep the entire results with the combat moves or reroll if you want to change the combat moves.

I thoght I could bring in 2 ftrs, but thought the computer was being dumb (which it can sometimes) but now I see it was right.

Nonetheless, the custom is to keep as many dice rolled as possible, so I would just subtract the extra dice from my roll right to left and then roll any extra units you would have had without the dice.  Make sense?

Here I will demonstrate:

So my roll was originally 9 ftrs:

5,3,1,2,6,2,5,2,3

I got 6hits, but rolled 2 extra, so taking 2 off the right I have 1 less hit for 5 hits leaving you 3 damaged carrier 2 dds, and 2 ftrs.

You rolled R1 (3cv, 4dd, 2ftrs):

1,5,6,6,4,5,3,5,1 and got only 2 hits.

So round 2, I rolled 7 ftrs

2,1,2,3,6,2,1  - but I should only have rolled 5.  So taking off hits mean I only got 4 hits, leaving you w/ 1 dd and 2ftrs presumably

So you rolled R2: 2,1,3,3,5,3  for 3 hits. But you have 1 extra dd

I roll it here:

Rolls: 1@2; Total Hits: 01@2: (3)

So I guess I would retreat at this point.  But then your fts would sink.  So I guess you would have kept an intact cv R1 .

Ok, if ok with you I will just redo Japan?  I will just forgo the sz6 attack since w/only 7 ftrs it would be suicidal.  This is getting too complicated.

I apologize for the screw up.  You are winning handily so not sure if all this makes any difference.

I’ll just post my redo Japan map.  If you object we can go back and try to rehash sz6.

But as I say, the Axis have about a 10% chance of victory so not sure what difference it makes.
