speaking of looking too quickly... in post #245, Union 1 sp attack AOW... Attackers’ drm = +0 and you rolled a 1 ... it's a "0" result on the attacker column, so AOW did not suffer a loss... earlier I glanced quickly on my phone and saw a 2, not realizing that was Wheeler CB intercept... I am at my desk, double checking the map and ACTS rolls... so net result is that AOW is at n6 now, not n5. |
