Question about rounding

Post by trollfactory »

Hello,
one question about rounding:

Two opponent fleets, side A with a fleet of 19 ships, side B with a fleet of 5 ships.
Side A fires, side B with the fleet of 5 ships escapes.
Is the fleet of side B eliminated or is one ship left and the fleet escapes?

I believe the fleet escapes. The odd shot is rounded down. Note that you can try this experiment in the client, by entering the orders for both players (you may need to enable this option in the preferences) and then checking the results of the forecast turn.
