In a nice tone I say,

You shouldn’t have assumed casualties in 95. You took off my destroyer, sunk my transport, and placed 3 subs in 98. At the time of the casualty choice, I knew you bought 3 subs and that they were likely going to your bid complex.

I don’t want to make a problem out of it, especially since I got lucky, but now we have a bit of a situation to talk about.

So, as I see it…
If my destroyer survived, I would have a transport in 95 and your sub would be sunk, and I would be a plane down. Granted, I didn’t know my perfect defense roll was coming, but I very well might have saved my destroyer after you got 3 hits.
So you would have probably placed your 3 subs in 81, where they are still threatening 97, but with the transport I could have taken TrJ and blocked them out a turn.

I’ll just accept that I probably would have taken maximum defense,

but I hope this incident will make you more careful with assumptions in the future. I have to think through all the possibilities and how to approach you about making it work, all because you made an assumption.

I had to complain to Pacifier 2 or 3 times about the same thing before he started getting more careful. It is not rare that I make a choice that others wouldn’t, and maybe sometimes I will make the wrong call and it will benefit you. At the same time, I don’t want you to wait every time there’s a choice, there are still super obvious ones, but this was definitely not one of them.
