Stalingradski v Infrastructure 2.0

Major Major

I said after round two because that is when you would have had to make different casualty choices based on our new proposed rule. I.e. you had to lose an art and an arm in round 1.

That being said the more I have thought of it the stupider I think that proposed rule is.
New 3 Round Rule:
Battles only last 3 rounds. At the end of round 3 the attacker must retreat following the standard retreat rules of the game.
EXCEPTION; The first game turn has a 4 round limit instead of 3.
EXCEPTION II; Amphibious assaults in which at least 50% of participants are amphibious shall go unlimited rounds until resolution.
In any amphibious and land combined assaults that are not 50% or over amphibious the battle goes 3 rounds only before retreat, additionally all amphibious units must be the first casualties and will be lost even if not taken as casualties when retreat happens after 3 rounds.

I think now that just removing the colored portion is best. Simpler and realistically after several months of combat any amphibious forces would have merged land forces and been able to retreat. I wish embroiling was possible online because that is where the spirit of the rule came into play when proposed.

That being said. If you agree then we remove it and the battle stands.
It basically looks like you lost 2 fts but gained 2 inf due to luck… A rough start.

Let me know if you want me to keep going or if you want to discuss.
I assume we are removing that rule in both games if you agree.

Stalingradski

Thank you sir - I agree with the change for both games - I appreciate your willingness to look it over.

For whatever reason (head density?), I had never really incorporated that part of our rule into my awareness.

Stalingradski

Yes, scramble German fighter and tac; Italian fighter

Major Major

Ha. Looks like another reroll already for me.
Let me crunch the numbers.

Major Major

shoul have time again soon!

Major Major

New low luck 1/2 rule:
In any combat where the number of casualties for one side or the other is 1/2 or less of what it should be a person can use a a low luck token. Standard rounding rules apply.
In game the battle calculator will be the key tool in determining if low luck tokens can be used.
Each Player (assuming 2 player game) starts the game with 3 low luck tokens. Every 2 game turns will give an additional 1 low luck token to each player. (i.e. Start of turn 3 each side adds 1, again on turn 5,7,9,…)

OK Britian uses a lowluck reroll token on taranto.

will edit other battles to dicey.
I think I can do this by changing the program to lowluck and then saving and tajing it off.

If it doesnt work we will ignore results.

Well I used a lowluck token but had a lucky turn after it.
Method of switching to lowluck for one battle wasnt that bad. LEt me know when you use one and I will talk you thorugh it.
