TWW 3.0.0.6 Gully (al) vs redrum (ax)
-
I'm curious to see what happens now. Pretty sure it's either a 30% shot at Tokio, or a decently cost-efficient fleet kill. If I don't do it, I'll probably have less than 30% win chance. And the game isn't even over if Tokio falls, you will certainly get it back rightaway.

@Gully Max scramble to sz99 and max defense which should be subs, transports, destroyers, carriers, damage BB, BB, naval fighters. If Japan is clearly going to win then save BB til the end instead.
I guess this is your all-in move?
As if the USA loses this, its pretty bleak for them. -
@redrum: pretty much. Your subs hit so I lost a transport and edited it back in in NCM.

@Gully Little confused here? What's with the transport casualty?
-
@redrum your defending subs got a roll, and it was a hit. They should not, negative support from surface ships. I took out a Transport (so the combat is not affected) and edited it back in later. And the para it carried.
-
@Gully Yeah, there is a bug though I was assuming we were playing it as is and allowing subs to roll. I don't think we had edited any other sub casualties or rolls or had agree to (and its very difficult in many cases if there isn't a transport to take).
-
@redrum: Well I assumed we were player enforcing the rules as they are written. There weren't any defensive Sub hits until now so I guess we should have clarified beforehand.
-
@Gully Hmm. I'd say generally any battle roll related map bugs (strength of units, support, etc) are usually played as is as they are very difficult to edit in all situations. For a long time in I think 2.7 or 2.8 there was some bugs around techs giving extra power to some of the infantry types (engineers I think it was) and those were always just played as is as trying to play as it was written was very difficult. Most other rules are played as written (movement, placement, etc) since they can easily be edited.
When determining Japan's purchase I assumed the subs would roll as I took the BC result and adjusted my casualties and your odds were around 25-30% once I optimized casualties. Otherwise I probably would have bought another destroyer since the subs not rolling is actually probably 5-10% difference as the 1/6 time they hit, it almost guarantees a Japan win.
@Hepps Any thoughts here?
-
In this case it would be easy to edit. Just turn on Edit mode when subs are rolling and automiss with them. I didn't do it because more often then not it doesn't hit anyway.
-
Hm yeah, if Hepps says something it would be helpful. Personally I would love to continue this game, and if I get Tokyo it's a close game, but if I don't get it it's a concede.
With subs it's more delicate than with inf, just because Sea Battles are more PU per hit and they snowball more extremely. Usually defending subs don't hit anyway (unless there are like 5+ subs and 5+ other ships defending), so it's not causing a lot of edit work. I always assumed these would be played as in the rules.
-
Yeah, let's see if @Hepps has any thoughts. I see a few different options here:
- Rule as written: Assume the rule should have been understood to be played as written and move forward with the result with the edit you made.
- Rule as engine enforced: Assume the rule should have been understood to be played as the engine enforces it so revert the edit and either try to figure out what would have been left with the given battle rolls (definitely would be a Japanese win since it ended so close) or re-roll the entire battle allowing subs to roll.
- Replay: Since there was no agreement around the rule, allow Japan to adjust purchase if desired (as well as other nations if it would impact them though I doubt it would). And determine how to play the rule moving forward.
I generally lean towards option 3 as this is such a swing either way. Especially because that 1 sub hit essentially decides the battle as either US taking Tokyo with a small TUV fleet lose or Japan winning it outright with a larger TUV fleet loss.
-
@redrum Since I have no idea how any mixed fleet battle was dealt with prior to this battle... I would use those as the precedent... that being said I also recognize that this battle in particular is a pretty significant juncture in the game.
I think that if it comes down to a game ending outcome...despite what had transpired earlier in the game... the two of you might want to consider the implications of the decision and find an agreeable compromise for this battle specifically. But ultimately the two of you need to make that call.

Funny anecdote: I'm a handball referee, last Sunday I did a kid's match and at some point they had different opinions on what the rules dictate to happen next. Never punish them for not knowing, but explain and follow the rules. Well. But the analogy ends here, I can't expect a 15yo to read and memorize all the rules. And in handball, there is every ref's favourite rule 17:11 ("What the ref sees is immediately a fact. You can never argue about what the ref observes. Objections can only be made about what follows from the observation.")
In this game, well, there is no tournament or score or anything like that. Winning doesn't mean anything. I'd love to continue playing, I never had a TWW game progress this far and still not be decided. Usually, even one minor capital falling ends the game. (well, maybe the "Russian para to Finland" thing of our last match
. Or one could imagine Egypt falling but Allies still being well ahead) . We could call you @redrum the official winner and play on in the "what-if" scenario, and maybe make sure that your ~80% shot at retaking Tokyo is a success. That's like if you gave me the 20% shot at Tokyo, and it worked out. I guess it's still an interesting game to play, Russia and China almost dead, Japan slowed down but it was expensive for US, pressure on Europe. -
@Gully Well seems like @Hepps doesn't want to be our handball referee
I guess that would be option #4. I'm fine with that as well. I think probably that or option #3 are the most reasonable. It really comes down to if you'd prefer to try to play it out without the attack at all as I'd edit to buy another destroyer with Japan or if you'd prefer to play out the what-if scenario to see how capturing Tokyo goes.
-
@redrum : I don't think I have much of a chance if we edit in a destroyer and I have to retreat. So if we continue with the game as iswe should keep enforcing the negative sub support, by edit rolling misses from now on. Would you agree?
-
@redrum: So if you're fine with going ahead with option 4, you can go ahead and do Germanys turn.
-
@Gully Alright, I'll try to play Germany's turn today or tomorrow.
