I concede GG.  I never recovered from that failed 111 attack followed by forgetting to reinforce W.Germany.

Do I post this just like a regular league game?

[rgp44]

yeah I think you just post on the league results page.  That Scotland attack really hurt, i think a lot of people use the same distribution you did but i think it is a little dangerous.  It over-attacks 110 by a couple points and under-attacks Scotland.  If that 1st roll doesn’t go average or better it can get real ugly.  I think the BB makes more sense in 110 but the idea w the Scotland move is it allows a possible retreat, just that it also brings in the disaster scenario.  Anyway, good game,

[cyanight]

Yep, you are exactly right. If you overkill the attack you end up with risking the battleship . I was trying to get 3 hits and then retreat. It doesn’t always work obviously, hehe.  Thanks again for a great game.  Very much appreciate quick turns :)
