well stali, i don’t know how to say this, but i just had a similar situation to what happened to you when you had a bunch of air attacking one zone a while back…  i had done several versions of a map and then my wife called and said she needed me to pick up some things and i got distracted and tried to finish the move quickly…  i had intended to bring an artillery or two into bel since i had to take the territory in order to reinforce arc with the 20 mech as i intended…  then it wasn’t until i was rolling the battle that i realized i had only brought in 2 infantry!  then of course my classic disaster dice came and you took out 2 inf and a bomber without me hitting anything.

help!  this is another tough situation - you have had perfect dice in the battle and i had perfectly bad dice…  so what to do?  i have to run, i’m now quite late and have no time to finish this up now.

cheers

[boldfresh]

oh and here is the map in it’s currently really messed up state… have no idea what i would do because i thought i had precluded something like this from occurring - i was debating between taking in 2 inf, art, 2 bombers, or 2 inf, 2 art, 2 bombers.  then i just rushed and rolled the dice and this is what i get… should have just waited…  :|

[boldfresh]

do i run into major disasters often or is it just my perception???  lol

i shouldn’t be texting when i drive but i am only going 2 mph…  :-o

[boldfresh]

i don’t really know how big of a deal this is (i was just clicking through the battles really fast until i saw the whiff then thought well, i planned to take that territory better lose a bomber, should have stopped right there and asked!) but anyway i just thought since it wasn’t what i intended to do i would just ask you to take a look since i can’t do anything for a while anyway.

cheers

[boldfresh]

i’m losing aircraft like flies!  2 last round in morocco, now this bomber….  i’m so cursed it’s not funny

[boldfresh]

against infrastructure too, i have been getting planes shot down like CRAZY…  and we have been getting killed by dice in our tournament game with Cow and Veq.  man oh man.  at least i have been getting better dice than hobo but wow, not a good run lately.

[boldfresh]

would sure throw this game into a completely different direction… geez

[Stalingradski]

Bold - let me check the map and see what happened - I’m cool with figuring out an alternative way to work it out -

[boldfresh]

yeah take a look and tell me what you think. That was a really bad move to try to rush… that said had the dice Igone reasonably I could have gotten out of it with only a lost bomber and would have just swallowed hard and said nothing…  :|

[Stalingradski]

No worries sir - we’re both solid players, so when a wacko move happens by mistake it’s pretty easy to try to figure out a way to work it out  :-D

How about this - take in two artillery for the first round in addition. Roll 2 '1’s and 2 '2’s right here on the site to make up for the boosted artillery rolls from the first round. Then roll any dice you would have had in round 2 as well. Keep all the rolls as they were otherwise. Keep rolling the battle until the end. am I right that there’s a pretty good chance you’ll still take it with an artillery?

Also, I’m cool with you redoing the move into Archangel, as you might have done it a little different with two less artillery.

Let me know what you think… in this way, the dice remain as they were, but you still get a pretty good chance to knock out Belarus.

[boldfresh]

The arts would be from epl but sounds good.

[boldfresh]

Will try to finish later this eve

[Stalingradski]

Very good - wherever you want them to come from is fine.

[boldfresh]
