@mikawagunichi

This would be hilarious if it were not so sad. I forgot the element of the Japanese S. Pacific plan: sent a DD to 56 to block a naval attack. You played well; I made too many bad mistakes. I concede.

Let me know if you want a rematch.

[mikawagunichi]

@ArtofWar1947 Thanks for the game! Happy to play another if you’d like

Thanks. Will set later today or tomorrow morning.

[mikawagunichi]

@ArtofWar1947 Sounds good

[ArtofWar1947]

@mikawagunichi

The Gettysburg game has an interesting rule that takes a little of the sting out of extreme dice. One side holds a “take-over” marker that if played allows the redo of a single battle during a turn. Once played, the opponent takes over marker and may play it at will, and so forth. As the Allies have more resilience than the Axis, I propose that the Axis begin with marker. I have used such a marker with a game with Stucifer and never used it because I did not encounter dice so extreme that I wanted to turn the marker over to the Allies. Let me know if you would be open to this rule.

[mikawagunichi]

@ArtofWar1947 Just to make sure I understand - do you have to play it preemptively, or not until after the dice have been rolled ?

[ArtofWar1947]

@mikawagunichi

After the dice are rolled. Playing the do-over card can be done only by the attacker.

[mikawagunichi]

@ArtofWar1947 And if the token is used, that one battle is re-rolled, and we live the result of the 2nd roll regardless?
