this one is hopeless…got f***** in 96 and totally messed up my plans. i don’t see how i can stand a chance now, italy will be impossible

any chance you would agree to a LL re-roll, one for each of us for the game? if so i’d burn mine up here in 96 i guess, as i am so not motivated to play this one out as it completely messed up my plan for the game.

Ok great, thanks for being a sport! You’ll also have a LL reroll for any battle you see fit, no matter how big and disastrous it might be. Wheatbeer and I did this in our game, and it worked out well. I’m considering asking all my opponents up front as it helps prevent any one dicing from completely messing up an otherwise good game. I usually wouldn’t wanna cash in this early and on such a seemingly small battle, but it happened to be of strategic importance to me, and also a botched UK1 can be hard to recover from.

I’ll redo the ncm accordingly, but I probably won’t get to it until later today, after work.

No problem. I lost count, but I think I have like 8 games going on now anyway.

ok i redid the turn with the same exact purchase and combat moves, and the results ended up the same except for the 96 battle, which ended up the same as our LL reroll, so I didn’t need to edit anything. I just did the ncm as I originally had planned, and the even the convoy ended up being the same as the original (loss of 3). thanks again man.

even though the sz96 battle was at 96% odds, let this be a big lesson for me: pretty much always get that sub in 98 as a bid, and use it for the 96 battle (for this opening strategy)……JUST IN CASE!!
