Egypt got diced hard (I planned to strafe, didn’t expect to conquer).

Would you like a reroll on that? low luck or otherwise, no strings attached

[Whackamatt]

I’ll soldier on.  I would ask for a different favor though:  I realized I hadn’t unoladed my Russian tank into Sicily last turn as Russia.  I would like to edit it in and give Russia an additional +3 ICs for the added bonus.

[Whackamatt]

On second thought, I think I’ll concede.  lol.  Only a couple of turns before Russia falls, and with no one to assist.  Good game, Sir.

And I LOVE wheat beer, by the way.  Hackor Pschorr is one of my favorites.  PM to start the bidding process for a second game.

@Whackamatt:

I don’t know what tripleA whether or not tripleA would prompt, but Krieghund said that in scenarios like this, scrambling remains an option. Scrambling blocks the offload since amphibious assaults can’t proceed until the SZ is cleared, and the Soviets have no way to clear the SZ. It seems weird (since a scrambled plane can’t hit anything here), but that’s what he said.

Haven’t tried that one, but I’ll keep an eye out … there’s a nice “gastropub” in my city that might have it.

I’ll send a PM momentarily.
