Perfect use of my bad luck there.

@Adam514:

Perfect use of my bad luck there.

The best time for bad luck is when it doesn’t matter at all.

[Adam514]

This is the first game where Europe actually has no value, and it lasted for the past 3 turns? Kind of makes me waver on the split win conditions for Axis, but that rule is still essential.

[boldfresh]

would you be willing to allow me to roll the hawaii battle in low luck?  :wink:

scramble in z26?

[boldfresh]

@Boldfresh:

would you be willing to allow me to roll the hawaii battle in low luck?   :wink:

alternatively, i’d be happy to run the hawaii battle twice and take the result that is closest to the median result.

[Adam514]

Haha no unfortunately I can’t allow that.

[boldfresh]

@Adam514:

Haha no unfortunately I can’t allow that.

i thought you might say that…

[Adam514]

No scramble.

[boldfresh]

well, you rolled up a full standard deviation, which very significantly improves your chances.  well, we should be able to finish this up very quickly.  i tell you what, you can go ahead and make your attacks on hawaii and india and if either succeeds, you can retroactively purchase for all your powers because if you succeed in taking hawaii or india (or kiangsu for that matter) it’s game over.

[Adam514]

So I just make the attacks, no need for other moves etc?

[boldfresh]

correct - you can go back and do all that other stuff if you want later - retroactively.  i can’t imagine a scenario where i could continue if any of those three cities falls.

[Adam514]

The game is blocking me from sending all the air that can go to Hawaii and 26 (mistakenly thinking the DD blocks landing zone I guess), will ask you to verify the numbers shortly.

[boldfresh]

there are 2 aircraft that cannot reach z26

[Adam514]

Nevermind, problem solved it seems.

[Adam514]

It was blocking me at 10 aircraft before.

[boldfresh]

16 can land on the acc’s and 8 can reach from wus.
