So small computer malfunction (coffee spillage on keyboard) caused me to have to redo the turn, then I screwed up setting it back up, and then third try the charm. Iraq ended up same as the first combat attempt, but the attack in Burma I had a casualty on the original results, so I had to edit out a British INF.
No worries. None at all.
I still don’t know what proper protocol is for redoing battles. This is an issue for me because more than once I have had my turn freeze up mid combat sequence and had to reboot. I always keep the first dice results, assuming those results are reported and can be easily verified, but I’m not sure that how MARTI rolls (pun intended) like that.
I don’t really know either. I figure, if I battle rolls to completion, you should keep it. If it sticks mid battle - complete do -over. But maybe some time I’ll get in a situation when it calls for a league moderator, and find out for sure. Everyone I have played with so far seems pretty relaxed about it - if you are making a real attempt at being honest and fair, there is no jury trial, just fait-accompli.
That sounds right
Secondly, that was a heck of a scrap in Gibraltar. I didn’t expect for my guys to fight so well.
I am thrilled that Germany somehow managed to hold onto Jamaica for one more turn. I feel like they should get some sort of award for that. Like the: “Your strategy was garbage, but you did occupy the murder capital of the world and the home of some badass reggae for two turns” award.

Wowza! I didn’t expect the Italians to fight so well, in fact, I was torn about picking your AAA as casualties first, but I considered it was a fight to the death and I only had one air unit so I picked the AAA first; which was good for you, otherwise , I would have captured it outright.
My demise has been delayed- yay for me.
It’s not an NO, but an earned achievement badge on the expansion set.
I wouldn’t have sent the tank. 1 Inf + 1 Trans = 10 IPC. Holding it cause US to lose a 5 IPC NO. You would have needed to hold it for at least 2 turns to break even. If I went to take it back, the attack on Gib would have been light = more casualties and potential fail. You were pretty much guaranteed to hold it for 1 turn. The 2nd turn - well, that kind of depends on what the US player has lined up - might ignore it for another turn. So now your even - but you won’t get a 3rd, that I guarantee. Whether I take it 2nd turn after capture, or 3rd, I know have a trans and 1-2 units out of position for a turn - which can matter a lot early in the game. So if you hold it for 2 turns, and pull some units out of the battle line for 2 turns, it might very well be worth it.
But since you sent in the tank - it cost you 16 IPC’s. You hold for 2 turns - that’s 2 IPC for you, 10 less for the USA. you’re at -4 TV, with 1 US trans and 1 -2 ground units out of place for 1-2 turns, but then you had a tran and 1 inf and 1 tank that could have been in the ME/Africa push - which is a little over extended currently. Less than optimal in this situation.
But if you were looking for options to do something other than the ME - invading French west africa would have been in my rear in africa, and the transport could have picked them up again and brought them done even farther south - serious issues for my fledging army in africa.
On an ironic note- I was in the last round, and doing great- only my Bomber and your UK fighter were left alive… and then my internet looked like it was going to blank out. Under such circumstance, self preservation kicked in and I pulled out my phone camera and was fully prepared to take a picture of the battle in progress… to document my good fortune and preserve it just in case the internet falters. Lucky fo rme , it kicked in and the battle was completed.
Oh no doubt, there were smarter ways to use the tank and transport, but I really wanted the vanity achievement of taking West Indies.
Oh I get it. It was like that ridiculous Alaskan invasion I did on you once. I still laugh at that
That Alaskan invasion was awesome. It’s till funny to me- I didn’t see it for like 6 moves. And when I did, I was like <“What the heck?!?”
I figure we’ll never do OOB again after this series of 6 games, so why not have some wonky fun every once in a while. Also, my intensity level for this game has gone down a notch; which is probably a good thing- my life does need to be lived every once on a while.
BTW- I finished the Italians.
Not sure about never doing OOB - I have an OOB league game going on. I do like to mix up the rule set a bit - keeps the noggin working.
Intensity on a game like this can be good, but I don’t think I’ll get it too much. Life is too busy. I often find myself pushing just to get a move in - not worrying about the full consequences. Like that Alaskan invaison. You said you have a kid on the way - you wait. Despite what you hear, the first year or 2 is actually easier in a lot ways. Once they are self-propelled - look out.
Then post.
I am surprised you went for retaking Gib. Can’t wait to see G so I can figure out if I am toast, or if it turns up to be a pyrrhic victory for you.
