Oops, apparently not a good idea to modify a die roll post to include a comment! Here comes my "official" initiative roll, 2d6 with results added:
Rolled 2d6 : 1, 1, total 2
Is it like this test Rolled 2d6 : 1, 2, total 3
Okay so some ships have a flagship, either flag 1 or flag 2 as a bonus to initiative.
They dont stack but you use the larger.
Also there are cruisers and destroyers with a leader role, like the San Fransisco and Allen M Sumner.
San Fran gives you +1 initiative for each dd you own, up to 3.
Sumner gives you +1 if you have another Destroyer.
So if I have Enterprise (+2) SanFran and 2destoyers it would be 2d6 +4
So Sanfran and 3 destroyers 2d6 +3
Enterprise (+2) North Carolina (+2) 2d6 +2
Flagships dont stack, neither would multiple SanFran
You dont use your +initiative to deploy, just a 2d6.
After both deploy, you roll again to see who moves 1st.
On the movement rolls you add your initiative boosts.
Rolled 10d6 : 4, 6, 4, 6, 2, 6, 6, 6, 5, 3, total 48
Rolled 2d6 : 5, 6, total 11
Rolled 2d6 : 4, 6, total 10
Rolled 2d6 : 2, 3, total 5
Rolled 12d6 : 6, 5, 2, 4, 3, 3, 5, 4, 5, 6, 6, 3, total 52
Rolled 1d6 : 3, total 3
Rolled 2d6 : 5, 1, total 6
Alright thats a lot better and more comforting.
So I am +1 Flag +1 Sumner = +2
You are +1
Lets roll to see who moves 1st. We move entire fleets at once.
Rolled 2d6 : 5, 4, total 9
+2
Whoever is low moves 1st, if you are low post your moves.
My WeVe and NV battleships are WWI and have slow as negative SA
I will roll for them as well
WV slow
Rolled 1d6 : 1, total 1
NV slow
Rolled 1d6 : 2, total 2
All right, I'm probably going to fail this roll--even with +1 DRM I'm probably not going to beat your 11. I downloaded some ship cards, but clearly not all of them because I don't have cards for some of my ships, so after I fail this roll I'm going to take some time figuring out how to move ships, etc.
Rolled 2d6 : 1, 5, total 6
"+1"
I think I roll 3d6 for each sub attack.
Here is the attack at B6:
Rolled 3d6 : 2, 5, 3, total 10
Here is the attack at F6:
Rolled 3d6 : 4, 5, 2, total 11
I believe I'm looking for results of 6 to hit.
