OK so if you go all the way with it, I would be left with 1 infantry.  It was a 50/50 battle from the start.

HOWEVER, you probably wouldn’t carry that all the way through.  You’re stuck with the first round of dice rolls, but please feel free to go back a few rounds and take off the artillery instead of a bomber.  Stop the attack at that point and save your remaining bombers.

[variance]

and put my infantry back too.  thanks

[Seador]

I’ll leave the result as is, the dice have been thrown.

Abstractly, in a low luck engagement like that where the goal was to clear the ground for the UK, I would have taken the RT off in the 3rd round and improved the projected result to having the ground clear and the US having one bomber left.

Another question, why did you switch to individual dice in the final rounds?  shouldn’t Germany just have had one dice at 4?
