Gamerman's G40 Laegue House Rules Playtest Shin Ji (Axis) vs Nozdormu (Allies)

[Guest]

I am adding +2 ipcs to the Russians I forgot they can’t be convod in Norway. I also forgot in the previous turns. However it is to late to rectify that.

[Shin-Ji]

If we can keep track, I don’t mind if you add the IPCs you would have lost in previous turns as well.

Hell, after that amazing die rolling, I’m feeling pretty generous.

And there is SO MUCH to keep track of with IPCs in this game, it’s amazing we aren’t making more mistakes.

[Guest]

You won a battle you had less then 50% chance to win, but you could still win it. You simply had less chance to do so.

Russians lost 2 ipc in round 9 (turn 5)
Russians lost 1 ipc in round 11 (turn 6)
Russians lost 2 ipc in round 13 (turn 7)

[Guest]

And you are right, tho we still probably made a couple mistakes along the way. I am buying max infantry each time with the chinese. Tired of having to mention it each time  :-D

[Shin-Ji]

I don’t know why you worry about mentioning it.  It’s literally your only option until the road is open - and that ain’t happening anytime soon.

It was actually the full 20, even factoring in the 1 less damage.  I always take that into account.
