In our netplay game the chinese got a partisan that sneakily could be placed in Canton where there were two japanese transports.
For some reason the game rolled for each trs twice. The first set of rolls sunk one and aborted the other, the second set of rolls sunk the other and aborted the first one. So both TRS were destroyed.
I don´t think there should have been two rolls per TRS so I think one TRS should be safely back in a japanese harbour.

Is it possible to fix?
Yes. Two ways. The first you can do yourself. Make sure set die rolls is selected. Go back to the partisan phase and reproduce your rolls. Next, set the second die roll for each TRS to the first.

The second way would require some advance edits of the game file which I and a few others here could do.

If you're unable to do the first above then attach your game file with instructions on which destroyed TRS you want back and where?

P.S. Just saw this is a net play game. I'm not experienced with that mode of play so the second way would require someone's expertise other than mine to accomplish. So, maybe the first way is best?

The same methods work, but you have to ensure the repaired file is in use by both players when you start your next session.

There shouldnt have. I have seen double rolls without a reason (wrong behaviour of the program) many times, and in different phases.
