If only we could get Krieghund to play 10 games a year in the league. Or 2 or 3.

Why is that?

He wrote the rulebook, he’d straighten us all out, and faster

Impressive, I shall look him up.

This was not an easy battle to figure, especially with follow up attacks likely. I am super lucky the dice gave me an edge. I know it might be your hail Mary, but I respect your abilities and tenacity too much to get lazy.

Thanks for the compliment! Combat finished, I will complete the turn later this (UK) evening.

@gamerman01 Scramble?

For what it’s worth, I would actually advise rolling this one in Triple A until you get to a situation where a casualty choice is asked when it shouldn’t be.
Because there is a good chance the battle will be resolved in Triple A just fine (like if your subs both hit)

Okay, but if I get half way through a combat in TripleA and then need to take it to the forum what is the best way to this?

• Use TripleA up to that point.
• Post the save to the forum and declare that the remaining rolls will be by dicebot.
• Complete the combat on the forum.
• Go back to TripleA, run through the combat but then edit the result to match that on the forum.

@gamerman01

Giving the above method a go. Looks okay in TripleA so far, as - due to the lack of sub hits by UK - I don’t need to ask the opponent (you) for casualties before all the attacking rolls have been made.

• The Italian sub’s first strike hit, so UK loses a sub.
• Remaining UK sub misses.
• 1 hit by UK planes.

Casualty?

Sorry to hear about your nephew.

TripleA isn’t giving me the option of taking the Italian sub as a casualty, I guess that is because the UK isn’t attacking with a destroyer and the UK planes can’t hit the Italian sub.
