air to air combat bug

Can't reproduce it. But here is a screenshot to show it happened.

Air to Air roll 18 and -1 resulted in AA. Not the correct result. Most frustrating to the axis player.

Looks to me like you are playing with the twin engine fighter optional rule, which reduces the combat results of twin engine fighters by one (AX -> DX, DX -> AA, AA -> DA, DA -> NE, NE -> AC, AC -> DC) when fighting against single engine fighters. If you are playing with that rule (which is one of the better optional rules in the game, IMHO), no bug.

I assume that the Allies had a lot of surprise points, otherwise the air-to-air values don't make sense.

You are correct.

We have been playing for so long, and had a long pause before getting back to game. The option never crossed our minds.

(yes it was 8 surprise. 4added to axis and 4 to allied) edited

I promised to post it for the axis player. Just so many to keep track of.

Thanks for reminding us to check Options.[&o]
