[Major Major]

wasnt the stupidity of leaving the dest 2 trans for the french ftr, it was the 87% chance to take the ukraine and have a bomber left over and a 50% chance to have the ftr left as well to defend turkey.  That wasn’t stupidity but compiled with it i almost want to quit this game.

[Major Major]

I surrender.

Good job on your first win.

[Major Major]

Is a 1/3 loss reroll for a whole turn or one battle?

[Stalingradski]

We never really specified. Our goal is to figure out the best way to have good, competitive games, which should = fun. So I’m open to whatever makes sense to that end, and as long as we make sure it applies to both of us, all is good. So if a whole turn needs to be done again, so be it.

[Major Major]

I brought an inf and art to java but forgot to unload them to attack plus some extreme bad luck in one battle and bad luck in a couple others. (surprise. how many games have I played and had only bad luck with Japan early…)

FIrst I remember we said that we had to agree it was agregious.  WHat do you think?
In Shensi; I should have won with 1strat, 2tact, 2ftr, 1arm, 1art left.  I had just 1strat and 2tacts left.  With all the other extra losses that round it looked even worse.

I want you to make the call since I’m the beggar here.  If you say our rule is to reroll the whole round, I will take the 1/3 loss and also ask that you let me land those units that were supposed to in java.
If you think just that battle is more in line than I will need to think long and hard about it, because my bad luck and stupidity has already cost me a lot in this game and it probably isn’t worth the extra 1/3 loss…

[Stalingradski]

I’ve got no problem making the call on this - go for it! The battles were egregious - esp Shensi. I brought in the Russians to inflict casualties, yes, but that was absurd. Units can land in Java - you know I’d never hold you for ransom on something like that.

[Major Major]

OK here goes.  I feel weird, cause I already think I’m losing, but whats 1/3 among friends…

That was almost too lucky.  shensi went from getting 4 extra to getting 3 under…
sorry for all the edits, I kept getting pulled away and got a little confused. I swear it was all legal and what I planned to do!  That lucky turn definitely made me not regret my 1/3 loss…

[Stalingradski]

Does the fighter in Germany intercept? How exciting! :-D

German intercept.tsvg

[Stalingradski]

I’ll hold off on China for now.

[Major Major]

OK found this;
Proposal for new rod/steven save a game that gets skewed by extreme bad luck.
A: We are now keeping track of online wins and losses and we are both very competitive.
B: We are honest and want a good game that is not skewed overly much by extreme luck.
C: If we both agree a dice battle is agregious/game changing we can try this method.
  1. We both agree it is reroll eligible (see B)
  2. The person wanting the reroll takes 1/3 game loss on our record.
  3. The battle is rerolled twice and the opponent chooses which one is played moving forward.
  3(Alternative).  The battle is rerolled 3 times and the median avg battle is used.

[Major Major]

We agreed to 3alt.

OK let me find that original jpn turn dice…

[Major Major]

OK. I went back re-edited map.

The crappy thing is that the first 2 of 3 rolls were extremes in both directions so this roll could be too…

I will roll it here for ease:

We have a new winner!
that battle is median.  A lot of work, but I feel we are back on track with this map!

[Stalingradski]

Thank you sir for the extra work to get it right.

Let’s figure out the 1/3 win thing at some point, but I’m not too worried about it right now.
