I decided not to scramble your french fighter, since it would have only had ~1% win chance

[snake11eyes]

Ok so I will scramble the French fighter and as that sz is now hostile the subs can no longer be ignored, and as you cannot hit them with your units the landing will fail, so we will have to roll the first round of combat for sz109 here and I am going to assume you will retreat with what remains of your carrier and transports after the first round of combat so we can edit that. Then we will have to reroll the fight for London after the 1 hit aa gun’s for the London fight with just your planes against my land units. I will let you as the attacker do this as I don’t know when and if you want to retreat your planes from that fight.

[MrRoboto]

Hm, that part of the rules is new to me.

But you are right.

May I ask, if you would allow me to redo my German move, then?

[snake11eyes]

We all make mistakes, the sub into the fight you would had a 80% chance or so of winning which I assumed was going to be your move. I will have to disallow the redo however so I will let you roll via forum for the first rounds of combat then edit accordingly thanks.

[MrRoboto]

Wow, really? Never thought you’d actually deny it.

Especially since you had your huge share of luck so far in that game.
I have to say I am really disappointed. I’d always allow it.

sigh

This basically is GG then. 3 full transports and a carrier for free and lots of lost planes in London. Would be something like -70-80 for me.
Japan is still looking good, but there’s no way for me to hold India AND get New south wales since USA can spend every single IPC in Pacific from now on.

I don’t want to be a bad loser but this game was the least enjoyable I have ever done - and I have played more than 100 so far in the league. I got diced so hard, came back from it just to lose to this…

[snake11eyes]

I’m sorry you feel that way, but it often comes down to who makes a mistake first to decide the winner so I personal don’t ask for redo’s or grant them.

[snake11eyes]

But thank you for the game it was a testing one and you played well.
