I had to look through my Marti emails to find out what happened.

Well yes - your G1 was a bit unlucky. The fail in 106 happens every once in a while, but it’s always annoying. In 111 you lost a plane more than average. 110 was good for you.

An unlucky G1, but nothing that never happens, I would say.

In China, both attacks went without something special.

My attack on 97 was a bit better than average -> Averagely I lose the sub there.
But my attack on Ethiopia was lower than average, you held it.

So far I would say the dice were slightly in my favor, mainly cause of 106.

Now, of course you lost that battle in 96. I don’t really like the idea of starting a new game. If we ignore this game, it feels weird for me, cause I can’t always just pass the game, whenever G1 and/or I1 are below average. If we count the game, I feel bad for you, cause of course that win wasn’t really deserved.

So, I propose the following:
We edit the fight in 96. Let’s pretend I didn’t hit anything against you (this accounts a bit for the additional sub in 97), so there are still all 3 ships and you can do the landing on Malta (which is a very risky attack with only 46% success chance).

My OOL for Malta, first round:

AAA first, of course.
If I shoot down a plane with my AAA, hold the Bomber please.
If I miss with my AAA, go for max defense.

Okay I agree with these terms.

Let’s rewind to England’s turn.
