In the case described the gamble you take is that the AA fire won't be an especially good roll. Say the defender is firing on "the lowest one of five" or...

No, you played it correctly. ... My reading is same as Dave's. Yet, Patrice had the opposite intuition. Also, say you have 6 vs. 4.5, this means +1.5/-1.5,...

No, it's not. The rule says "round to the nearest whole number" - nearest is not highest. Nearest whole number to -0.7 is -1. Rounding halves up mean what I...
