[Ziggurat]

That was only supposed to be a strafe in Burma…. ah well… /fail :P.

[wheatbeer]

If you want to reroll round 3 or retreat after round 2, I would be fine with that.

11@1 hitting 5 times is in the 3% range so you had no reason to expect that.

If you want to reroll round 3 of Burma, just use the forum dice and EDIT accordingly.  It won’t affect anything Italy did.

[wheatbeer]

Just to give you a heads up, I probably won’t be posting the 24th-26th since I’m traveling for the holidays.

[Ziggurat]

I appreciate the offer, but once dice are rolled I’m not going to take them back. More upset by the 1/17 and 1/15 :P. And no worries, I don’t expect anyone to be around the next week.

F8 emailed.

G9 emailed

[Ziggurat]

R9 sent.

J9’s sent

[Ziggurat]

Every time I open the file it looks more and more hopeless. Good game. Care to postpone the tie breaker til you get back? I need a little time to scheme :P.

[wheatbeer]

No problem.  I did bring my laptop for x-mas, but I’d rather wait til I’m home again for a new match.

[wheatbeer]

For the tiebreaker

Rolling 1d100:
(4)

odd, I bid first
even, you bid first

[Ziggurat]

Sounds good. I’ll start with a bid for the axis at -12.

[wheatbeer]

Before I counter-bid or accept, do you want to play with the restriction of 1 bid unit per SZ/territory or not?

[Ziggurat]

Yes, one unit per SZ/territory please. I’m not a fan of stacking multiple units on paris or yunnan.

[wheatbeer]

Okay, I’ll counter-bid negative 13

[Ziggurat]

I’ll accept. 1 sub off Egypt, 1 art in Sudan and 1 inf in New Guinea please.

[wheatbeer]

New Guinea doesn’t start with any Allied units and placement there isn’t allowed by league rules.
