Only after I did the battle in Romania did I change my mind about it. I’m sorry that I didn’t change my mind earlier and it definitely looks suspicious. Again, I apologise. Let me know if you want me to change that.

O11.tsvg I am normally okay with and encourage edits to align with what player intentions are/were but in this particular case, I do feel strongly that we should accept the results of the move. First, it made complete sense to do it - any hits from the UK would have destroyed AH aircraft and there was a high probability of at least one hit. Second, it is in line with your playstyle of running transports through minefields. Given the high value nature of the move and the amount of dice thrown before changing your mind, for this one, I will have to insist we stick with the result.

@The_Good_Captain

Okay then. I was thinking of doing it with the Italians instead. No worries. I assume you edited it yourself?

Thank you for clarifying this rather troubling (though that isn’t the right word, more like unclear) matter.

[SuperbattleshipYamato]

@The_Good_Captain

I do agree that if things worked out it would’ve been a logical and good attack.

[The_Good_Captain]

@SuperbattleshipYamato I hadn’t done the edit yet, no. Might be a bit easier if you did - I actually didn’t look at the history to see what was where.

[SuperbattleshipYamato]

@The_Good_Captain

No worries.

@SuperbattleshipYamato I went ahead and did the edit. Go for Italy when you’re ready: O11 edit.tsvg

@The_Good_Captain

Thanks a lot. I have a question about the rules and I’m not ready to go on until @Krieghund responds:

[The_Good_Captain]

@SuperbattleshipYamato I see it. Generally speaking, with board game rules of any game, exceptions to any rule will be stated explicitly. If no exception can be found for a certain case, then the rule stands. But with this particular game, 1914, I don’t blame you for asking (haha).

[SuperbattleshipYamato]

@The_Good_Captain

Agreed.

@The_Good_Captain

I meant, in “[add on to the above comment but as you know we can’t edit stuff]” above, “because” rather than “but”, sorry about that.

By the way a weird glitch happened (for some reason the game just pretended a battle’s casualties didn’t happen so I used edit mode to solve it, but then the battle window did appear, so when I tried to take the casualties it glitched, because not all the units were there), leaving the map looking a little funny:
