14L G40 wheatbeer (Axis) vs Boldfresh (Allies +15)

bid’s subs SZ91 + SZ98, inf Sudan

Hope it’s a fun one  :-)

Also, before I forget, both sides agreed to no tech and a low luck reroll system (start with 1 low luck reroll each for a battle on offense or defense, if both sides use theirs then they are replenished 1 per side again).

@wheatbeer:

Also, before I forget, both sides agreed to no tech and a low luck reroll system (start with 1 low luck reroll each for a battle on offense or defense, if both sides use theirs then they are replenished 1 per side again).

I like this wheat-rule…very fair.

Actually Boldfresh proposed that specific scheme, though I have been using low luck reroll exchanges for awhile the addition of a mutually determined limit to rerolls sounds really good to me (as opposed to turn based reroll accumulation which others have proposed).

I am not sure how allowing it on defense will play out though. That may require NCM/placement alterations for the attacker if used by the defending power.

Bold, can I assume if the defender uses the token, that the attacker has the right to amend NCM/placement since the map could be really different post-reroll?

And what would happen if the Axis wanted a reroll from the USA’s turn that could affect China or UK?

Germany opens with 5 hits in SZ110 (none are from my submarines)

asking for OOL since you may wish to lose the BB before fighters

wife’s calling me to bed, going to finish my NCM against hobo, then I’m out for the night … will finish in the morning (sorry I’m often a sticker about naval OOL)
