[Mistergreen]

Yes the rolls have been very close to average. Nsw taken with inf, 3 arm + change.

Wanna do the India battle and possibly two crap shots in Nsw, we can rewind and do regular turns except we paste in the battles, or do it regularly?

[Mistergreen]

…the rewinding needed only if fate turns on me…  :wink:

[Mistergreen]

…unless there is some way you can rob me of a VC that I’ve missed. I do intend to block Japan again…  :-)

[Karl7]

yeah

I’ll do US crap shot first

[Mistergreen]

Thanks :evil:

[Mistergreen]

No Anzac crapshoot then?

[Karl7]

Yeah good game up to that very last part.  I knew Ind was against me… but sheesh…

[Karl7]

Oh, yeah lets have one more laugh (in a good way)

[Karl7]

Ha, no success.

As I say, good game until the very end.  No drama in the IND battle.  But you won the game, AND THE 2012 LEAGUE….  I’ll report to Jen.

[Mistergreen]

Well it was a very fun game. The axis do seem to have an advantage. As you said earlier perhaps UK could do with another NO. In the triplea tournament after game two it was ruled to be mandatory for allies to have a Russian bmb pre-bid. Large bid can have funny effects on the game but perhaps that can be solved with a fixed bid like the Russian bmb + a regular bid?

[Karl7]

Yeah, maybe.  Not sure what a russian bomber means in terms of regular game play.  I wanted to believe there is a way for the allies short of dumb luck can win, but maybe not.

I do question what Avalon Hill play testers do when they play test this stuff. Sometimes I get the feeling they give it a real light treatment, or that they are incompetent…  :-o
