went much better that time - thank goodness you didn’t smoke me like that!

this is a bit more like it…… 3.78 for the uk and 3.84 for ita and 2.0 for Germany. I can’t believe the G ss hit both times and I see why this battle needs to be done with the in house dice…both times I lost an attacking boat before I could roll and with a dd present!

anyways…if you can’t stomach tossing out that crazy stupid UK1 rolls and using this version instead then let me know and I will call the game in your favor. I can’t see continuing after that silliness. G40 is such that the Uk often times fights Ger & Ita by itself for 3+ turns and I just can’t see any hope after all those 5’s & 6’s…, the elimination of the UK +15 bid and the loss of all that material whilst ITA kept nearly everything. :-D

Let me know. I totally understand if you want the quick and dare I say undeserved  :wink: “W”. Speak soon!

given that i am actually going to make an effort to put together the best league record i can this year, and given that other opponents that i have started out this poorly against decline a similar offer and make me keep my insanely bad early dice (see my G1 and G2 against allweneedislove in our game 1)

you will understand why i cannot similarly give up the good luck that i get once in a blue moon.  remember i did have a pretty bad G1 to start this one.  hence, i have decided that my default will always be to go with the dice as rolled.  other things like forgetting to make an obvious move, etc i am more lenient with, but the dice have got to be the dice.

i would tend to agree that those dice probably cripple your game here.  however, you may be interested to look at a game i currently am playing against Trajan where i LOST france on G1 badly (he had 4 units left and wiped everything i took in out except for the tac) and i BARELY took france on Italy 1.  However, i would say that I have recovered and should win the game.

Let me know what you wanna do.  i’m fine with whatever you decide but i have to sincerely but hopefully understandably decline your request to reroll the turn - my dice have been WICKED bad lately, and if they later went really badly in this game as well i would greatly regret it.

cheers

i was playing around with the idea of a LL reroll to be used in one battle per game.

if both sides used it, then another would be given to both sides.  however, i have
been burned in all the games i suggested this, most notably the XDAP final against
AWN and Hank - so i have determined not to use it going forward.  i’m now in
agreement with gamerman (the purist) that the dice are the dice.
