anyway, please look at the map and let me know if you have any issue before i start with UK.

[boldfresh]

ok well you rolled way up in persia so i’m using my LL reroll.

here we go

attacker - 15 inf, 3 art, 2 ftr, tac, 2 bom (punch of 42 so that is exactly 7 hits)

defense - 7 inf, 2 mech, 6 tac, 4 ftr (punch of 52 which is 8 hits with 4 punch left over so if you roll a 1-4 you get a 9th hit)

Rolls: 1@4; Total Hits: 11@4: (3)

[boldfresh]

i lose 9 inf, you lose 7 inf

round 2 attack - 6 inf, 3 art, 2 ftr, tac, 2 bom (punch of 33 so 5 hits with a remainder of 3)
rolling for the additional 3 punch to see if i score a 6th hit
Rolls: 1@3; Total Hits: 01@3: (4)

[boldfresh]

so far it’s as bad as possible

defense - 2 mech, 6 tac, 4 ftr (punch of 38 so 6 hits with a remainder of 2)
rolling for the extra 2 punch to see if you score a 7th hit
Rolls: 1@2; Total Hits: 01@2: (4)

[boldfresh]

so you lose 2 mech and 3 tac and i lose 6 infantry

round 3 attack - 3 art, 2 ftr, tac, 2 bom (24 punch so 4 hits exactly)

round 3 defense - 3 tac, 4 ftr (21 punch so 3 hits with 3 punch remaining)
rolling for the extra 3 punch to see if you score a 4th hit
Rolls: 1@3; Total Hits: 01@3: (5)

[boldfresh]

so i lose 3 artillery and you lose 3 tac and a ftr

round 4 attack - 2 ftr, tac, 2 bom (18 punch so 3 hits exactly, wiping out your 3 remaining ftrs)

round 4 defense - 3 ftrs (12 punch so 2 hits exactly, wiping out my 2 bombers)

battle is over with 2 ftr, tac remaining for the british.

good thing for the reroll that was a game ender roll right there.  as expected i rolled down in BOTH major battles, AND was forced to use my LL reroll when i hoped to roll up or at least even.  oh well, that’s how your year is going juan, sometimes when it’s meant to be it’s meant to be.

[boldfresh]

oh and let’s not forget the small fact that you hit 6 for 6 win egypt.  :lol:  so yeah, you rolled up well in every battle.

[boldfresh]

anyway, the good news for you is we are now back to full on luck so i will be toast shortly without the LL reroll to fall back on.
