You can start. Your fleets are in the first post of this thread.

[I will not be able to moderate any game today until late night (European Time), so try to find another moderator/photoshop user if you want to start immediately, or even better do your own image editing, so that you don't have to wait at all]

setup and initiative are different rolls.
setup has no flag bonus(it's called a coinflip in the rulebook)
it's your game, i'm just sayin............ Laughing

I made your first map image.

I'm sure you can continue using even MS Paint, but if you need help, hopefully one of the mods will be around to do your maps.

let me get this right,
i,m first place because i lost init
i shoot first.
Is it Sub phase now?
currently yuki 1 sunk, sub 2 crippled.
i,m going to sub phase now.
sub 1 at Myoko
Rolls: (3d6)

sub2 at myoko
Rolls: (1d6)

sub3 at Myoko

sub4 at yuki2
Rolls: (2d6)

Blackeagle

By my count, Sub 1 only gets 2 dice versus Myoko (3 dice at range 1, minus 1 for ASW suppression because Yuki 2 is in the adjacient square). Sub 3 should only get 1 die (2 -1 for ASW suppression). That puts the other Yukikaze on the bottom but leaves Myoko unharmed (for now).

I think this round will finish it one way or another
Myoko is crippled.

Blackeagle

RAEVSKI

Yeah, its scary what will happen this turn. I afraid it boils to luck on both sides as i think torps will decide the day. Points are correct.

Blackeagle

Myoko to D8
Tone to E9

In the Air Attack step, Tone uses it's scout cruiser ability against Canberra (+1 on all bomb & gunnery attacks vs. her for the remainder of the turn).

Do you mind if I roll my torp and gun attacks separately this turn? The way I work it out, I need to sink both Exter and Canberra to win (and have at least one of my cruisers survive). I'd hate to overkill one of em and miss the other. Very Happy

You can do the same if you'd like, of course, though you have more margin for error.

NeuralDream

I'm not aware of a rule that forbids rolling your attacks in any sequence you want during your attack phase. I guess you can do that blackeagle. To be more certain post this in the rules clarifications subforum.

RAEVSKI

go for it blackeagle but i'd like roll my subs separate

Blackeagle

OK, I make that 2 hits on Tone from gunnery, none from ship's torpedoes.

Tone main battery versus Canberra (9 dice at range one plus 1 for Tone's special ability).

Rolls: (10d6)

Blackeagle

Tone secondary versus Canberra (4+1).

Rolls: (5d6)

Blackeagle

Tone torpedoes versus Exter (2 at range one plus 1 for Tanaka's special ability).

Rolls: (3d6)

Blackeagle

Myoko torpedoes versus Exter (2 at range two, minus 1 for being crippled, plus 1 for Tanaka's SA).

Rolls: (2d6)

Blackeagle

Well, those torp rolls may have just lost me the match.

Myoko secondary versus Canberra (3 dice at range two, plus one for Tone's SA, doesn't hit on a 4 because Myoko is crippled).

Rolls: (4d6)

Blackeagle

Myoko main battery versus Canberra (9 dice at range two, plus 1 for Tone's SA).

Blackeagle

Would help if I actually included the die roll, wouldn't it? Razz

Rolls: (10d6)

Blackeagle

Yeesh, why couldn't I roll that many sixes when I was doing torpedoes. That pretty much vaporizes Canberra, but Exter's still sailing along without a care in the world. If you manage to sink either of my cruisers with your subs, you win.

RAEVSKI

A very exiting game ended, thanks very much.
that makes 83 points to me
50 to you
It was a tough challenge torps are deadly

Blackeagle

Nice game. Good luck next round, I think you're going to need it (you get to go up against Admiral Spruance, who's special ability seems horribly unbalanced).
