I don’t recall who got the first choice in Gettysburg; it may have been decided by a dice rolls at the beginning of the game. For PTV, the Axis are more vulnerable to quirky and devastating battles; whereas the Allies may have much more resilience. Recommend giving the Axis the first re-roll. My recollection is that this was used only in extreme cases, as a player did not want to give up the re-roll option to an opponent. As we are agreeing to this rule after the fact, it is too late to apply it to a G-1 battle.

we both made mistakes, and both are clearly covered by the rules.
here’s how i see it:
1. we can go strictly by the rules - i place 4 units in reserve and the subs stay in place (there was 6.5 hours between your turn and my turn) or,
2. we can make an agreement - clearly leaving the subs in z12 was a mistake and people make mistakes in these games. i was hoping you would not move the subs - i had considered moving the destroyer, sub, and 2 battleships to z22 on US turn but didn’t want to call your attention to the subs. when a player makes a mistake you need to capitalize, as i’m sure you are aware.
i am ok with either of these options but as far as an agreement, allowing me to revise my russian buy is clearly not an equitable trade for losing 30 ipc and 5 units of german subs with no opportunity for a counterattack. if you would like to make a more reasonable offer i could be persuaded to go with option 2. I’m not asking for value equivalent to 30 IPC (I am reasonably secure in this game and willing to give you a bit of a break) but perhaps you could offer to remove the 4 damage on russia, allowing them to place the 6 units this turn, and give me 2 russian infantry. that would amount to a 3-1 windfall in your favor. this gives you some punishment for the mistake but not the full punishment (i wish people would give me breaks like that).
let me know what you think.

I’ve moved the inf, that’s fair enough.
