Your captains and/or crews failed skill/experience rolls and did not fire. Happens.

Not as bad as my low point in UV, when a sub was sunk by a............barge.

I had that happen in UV also. What an embarrassment.

Hi this stuff is pure gold, why is the computer keeping it to himself!? You guys should throw it onto the combat report! I love seeing how that stuff works and it really helps me get a personal attachment (or in this case disgust) to some units.

Yes, and the barge was probably later defeated by a tissue paper.

I'll keep plugging away at those Jap transports and see if they start shooting back.
