Is it really allowed to make that retreat with the subs? Seems kinda odd that they can retreat after winning the battle just because they can’t hit air…

Nice move btw.! Hadn’t seen that planes from us could reach that far or thought about the need to also have a destroyer present.

Yeah thanks. The fact, that planes from the west coast can reach SZ6 is a lesson hard learned by me too.

I have no idea concerning the retreating subs. I’m excited to see the answer from the bosses :-)

[MrRoboto]

goddamnit normandy….

[MrRoboto]

Ok I will give up. You don’t even need Moscow to win, since I can’t hold Egypt against Italy.
This means you only need Stalingrad. And I have no chance to retake London within 2 turns.

I will report the game. Congratulations.

[Rasmustb]

Wow didn’t expect that but I guess you’re right. Hadn’t thought that one about Stalingrad through…

I guess it’s not that hard to win when you have dicey on your side even though Japan got totally out played. I learned alot from this (at least I hope so).

Care for a rematch?

oh and btw. Krieghound came with an official ruling.

[MrRoboto]

Yeah I saw the ruling already :-)

Yeah we can do a rematch. Just switch sides? In this case, I need your bids, please. Otherwise, we can bid again.

I’ve used some kind of anti-dicey system in a couple of games: Whenever a battle outcome differs 30 or more from the average TUV swing (according to battle calculator), a player can pay 10 IPC to reroll the battle with low luck. the 10 IPC has to be spent by the power that was present in that fight.

Let me know, if you want to play with this system, as well.

[Rasmustb]

Yeah we can switch sides - seems kinda fair.

Im not sure I fully understand the impact of your LL reroll suggestion but its ok with me. Your call! Just let me know

cheers

[Rasmustb]

oh and my bid is sub sz98 and inf new guinea
