[wheatbeer]

Your units survived in SZ113 despite 95% odds of UK victory.

I am sick of losing when the odds are in my favor.

[wheatbeer]

And only a 2.4% chance that the destroyer survives.

[wheatbeer]

Is there any chance I can get a do-over on the UK in exchange for a future Axis do-over (either a whole turn do-over or an individual battle do-over)?

This is at least the third key battle I’ve lost despite being favored to win.

[Odonis]

Sure, but combat moves need to stay the same. Fair?

[wheatbeer]

That’s more than fair.  I’m really sorry to ask in a league game (I don’t play for standing, so if I win, you don’t need to report it).

And you never know, the you might get diced in Moscow or somewhere critical and really want a do-over.

[Odonis]

I’m with you, I don’t have time for standings nor rankings - I just enjoy playing!

[Odonis]

That said, I still want to win! ;)

I left all the combat movements the same.

SZ98/Syria played out a little different.  This time the UK BB was damaged in SZ98 and an infantry survived in Syria with the tank.

I wasn’t sure if you wanted those battles edited back to their original results, or if you meant for it to be a whole turn redo.
