Newbie needs his hand held for the first battle. I know the rules of the game, that is not the problem, I am having problems figuring out the die roller thing. I didn't see where there was anything to download? |

Sorry, ini rolls were for turn one.
I assume that you want me to move first. Sphynx & Panthère to I5. Yprès et Engageant to I3. |
| Enterprise |
Quick clarification - I am assuming that the numbers start at the bottom, where the letters are, and go up from there. 1 would be closest to the letter E etc. Obviously this doesn't make a difference for my setup but it does for yours and how I respond. I mention this only because in the first scenario, which you were a part of, the numbers were reversed and the largest number was at the bottom or lettered edge of the map. Please clarify how you would like the numbers to run:
UP lowest at the bottom or near the letters DOWN lowest at the top or opposite the letters As I write this I am assuming that the map only has letters on one side? Thanks |
| Enterprise |
Please roll a die each for the Butler and Roberts for the Slow -1 SA to determine if they were able to move 2 on the first turn. Please remember to roll for this at the beginning of each turn. Thanks.

The Marine Nationale is not moving either. Since it's not a big battle, I will attack first to gain some time.

Yprès & Engageant attacks HMS # 2 with two big depth charge runs. Rolls: (6d6) - 1

HMS Truculent # 2 is only crippled and # 1 is fine thanks to the run silent SA. |
| Enterprise |
HMS #2 fires at Engageant
Rolls: (2d6)
HMS #1 fires at Sphinx Rolls: (3d6)
Also we have a problem. Only one of your ships depth charge attacks is at 6 (Roberts, or Engageant I believe), the other attacks at 5 (Butler or Ypres). I was going to mention this with my last post, as I noticed the last turn you used 6 dice as well, but I forgot. Sorry. Based on the way you laid out your rolls, listing the Ypres first, the Ypres (5 die) rolled an extra die and that is the attack that hit the sub. I don't want to be a snit about it and if you can think of a way to revist the rolls that is more fair than just rerolling your first roll with 5die6, please let me know. |
| Sire Fred |
OK I'll redo my roll.
Yprès at Truculent # 2. Rolls: (5d6) - 1
|
| Sire Fred |
Looks like all your subs are fine and that I have only the Yprès remaining. Subs (especially Truculent) are really hard to sink by destroyers.
The best way to get them I think is to attack them with another sub. Initiative for turn 9 Rolls: (2d6)
Rolls: (2d6)
|
| Enterprise |
How about if I roll a die Rolls: (1d6) and whatever that number is we remove that die from the original Ypres roll, with a result of 1 being the leftmost die.
|
| Enterprise |
O.K. taking the fifth die out would still result in 3 hits so that sub is crippled. How does that sound?

Your doing this because you are pitying me!!! I'll post my moves and attacks tomorrow morning because I'm too sleepy right now. I'll have a good rest tonight and I will be cack tomorrow morning. |
| Enterprise |
Are you still out there? If you aren't moving let me know and we can roll for attacks. |
