Another nasty turn.

Battle score of -9 instead of +35.

how many low luck games have you played and what’s your opinion on them?

A few and I don’t really like it. Even though it screws up from time to time I’m content with the probability analysis and risk. LL makes the game a bit more chess-like, but also less intriguing. LL also heavily favours the attacker, which makes the game a bit biased in that respect.
-
I’ve been thinking about a Medium Luck game. It would be played just like a normal dice game, but any dice rolls that are in the 10% range high or low would be discarded and automatically re-rolled.
-
That could be something, although then there would be no chance for any amazing desperate recovery as well.
-
@trulpen ok, maybe we give each player 1 or 2 “Hail Marys” In other words once or twice the attacker can use regular dice with no 10% outlier rule
-
Could work, although then it will only be bad rolls that will be cancelled. Sounds like something that can be handled by mutual agreement among players, preferably when starting a game.
-
the trick would be the ability to easily seperate which die rolls are too extreme and which ones are only close to it

Had an idea of attacking z113, but when looking at it now I notice a fig can be scrambled. Have to do something else and put the sub in z93 instead.
-
I notice something rather strange here. When you did SBR on London you went in with 1 fig and 1 sb, but UK had 3 fig that could intercept. I would certainly do that intercept.
You may choose to keep the attack and roll the air-battle. In the case of 2 hits on the defense, no damage would be allocated. If the sb lives the present damage will be kept.
Since you might have overlooked something you can also call off the attack, if you prefer that.
-
@trulpen hmmm…yes, I did assume no intercept because I had an escort. In older versions of the game that was like SOP. The best that interceptors could do was kill the escort. …and wow, I have to claim ignorance, because I dont even know why that was so. I’ll be able to look at it more later and then let you know

triplea_37036_7fre GR8.tsvg This is how I would do the bombing run and English Channel battle. I would go with 3 escorts not just one. Is this acceptable?
