The spotters on those three cruisers apparently weren't joking around.

I think I didn't put it in the rules by accident, but if you follow the link I put for ground combat the original post that I was inspired from stated one ground troop destroyed for every 4 successes, and each unit threatened with destruction gets to roll a concealment die at +1.

So that will be 7 of the ground units which have to roll for concealment.

That was some excellent shooting by your cruisers. I hope your gun crews get that out of their systems when our fleets clash.

My 7 concealment rolls.

This will probably make things difficult for the Marines on the beaches of Tulagi.

Land Battles phase

The Liberty ships will land the following units and things:
12 troops on E16
6 Vital Cargo on Tulagi
6 troops on M15
6 troops on L16
6 vital cargo on Guadalcanal

(the defending troops get to shoot)

Shooting 5 times. jRivUCrH5d6 I'll roll for the other 3 points of soldiers just in case. 3d65d6·3d6

Any given concealment roll can apply multiple times per turn, as with a smoke screen, so you can roll the other two as well (if I eliminate more than what you rolled for)

As for my attack: TDyffJde12d6

Landing troops don't get it on the turn they land though, so I'm down to 8 on Tulagi12d6

Oops again. I haven't assigned the one guy on Guadalcanal to any particular sector. I'll roll for which sector. 1-2 = M15, 3-4 = N15, 5-6 = M16
