XDAP2 PIT FIGHT Bad Dice (+100) v Boldman

[Gargantua]

After reviewing the play, the axis player is correct by technical definition.

NOTES:

• I know vince and his style, he would have attacked even if he only had 3 planes.
• this dispute has turned into a bigger deal than it needs to be.
  -This game was designed in jest/fun and I hope it continues on that basis

Moving Forward
Gamerman can choose how to proceed.  If a full reroll is demanded then so be it.  But I do note it would be more sporting, to proceed with the most recent dice rolled.

Go for the glory Gamer!  makes for a better story anyway.

[boldfresh]

there will be no rerolling you can have the full benefit of your dice variance - just know that 4 british planes against 4 japanese boats was less than 50% and also know that you didn’t have all that great of an anzac follow up since you have one ftr earmarked for other activities…

gamer was completely in the right and an apology would be a good thing to extend.

anyway, lets get on with it.  “This aggression will not stand, man.”
