RE: [eia] 2nd Battle of the Forth, Coalition roll


Actually the INTERCEPTING power is the attacker, so the French lose as the
attacker...
(They could actually have let you go through, but choose to
attack/intercept).

So Britain/Russia dodge this bullet...

Gah, I forgot to get rid of the second die roll.  Actually, I think this 
combat is treated as an attack by my side (but check me on this), so I have
to 
beat your casualties to win.

17 French-controlled X 25 % = 4 losses
19 - 4 = 15 remaining Coalition
15 X 25% = 4 losses

So assuming that I understand the rules correctly, our fleets are scuttled,
my 
army is destroyed, and my leader may or may not be captured.  

I guess it's going to be a long campaign.
