    It’s been a while since I last attacked 97 in UK1, but I feel like circumstances are right this game.

    Scramble?

  • @farmboy will need ool in 97. Sub hits.

  • '19 '18

    Please roll the rest on the forums here.
    My decision depends on the rest of your hits in the first combat round


  • @MrRoboto can you remind me how I do that? And is it the norm that you see the rest of the dice before deciding on the casualty for the sub hit. My assumption was that you have to decide now before the rest of the dice are rolled.

  • '19 '18

    No that is a tripleA thing, but the official rules say that casualties are chosen after ALL combat hits.

    That’s why I tend to roll sea battles on the forum, especially those small ones where a single sub hit makes a huge difference.

    I can roll it for you, no problem


  • @MrRoboto I just checked the rules here. casualties from sub strikes are removed first. I’ll post it in a sec.

  • '19 '18

    so you attack with

    1 destroyer
    1 cruiser
    2 fighter
    1 bomber

    [dice 1d6<=2]
    [dice 3d6<=3]
    [dice 1d6<=4]

    Power: 15
    HP: 5


  • 1d6<=2: 1; Hits: 1
    3d6<=3: 3, 2, 5; Hits: 2
    1d6<=4: 6; Hits: 0

  • '19 '18

    You make 4 hits overall.

    I will keep the cruiser, so you have to stay (a fighter would crash)


  • In the europe rules it is on page 19 under step 2

    after explain submerge and surprise strike it says

    Once all attacking and defending submarines that
    conducted a Surprise Strike have fired, the casualties
    they have generated are removed from the game and
    this step (step 2) is over for this round of combat. As
    long as there are attacking and/or defending submarines
    and no opposing destroyers, this step is repeated during
    each round of combat. Any hits made during this step
    that don’t destroy units (such as battleships and carriers)
    remain in effect until they are repaired.

    And then it goes on to:

    Step 3. Attacking Units Fire

  • '19 '18

    Ah right, because I have no destroyer.
    Surprise strikes are chosen first.

    If I had a destroyer, the casualties are chosen at the end, with all others


  • I’m happy with that roll but fine with continuing with the normal dice.

  • '19 '18

    Ok, so sorry about that - I should have chosen first.

    However, actually there was no chance to chose the cruiser here for the surprise strike.

  • '19 '18

    You can go ahead as you please. Sub hits the carrier in all cases.


  • @MrRoboto all good. I get the rules mixed up all the time.


  • @farmboy I’ll stick with doing it with the in game dice and ignore the dice here. my thinking was to force a carrier hit and then retreat if the roll wasn’t good enough first round.
