Ya, Ouch.

Odds of me winning were 52%.

Odds of losing only one plane? Again very low.

It seems my luck with minor powers is REALLY high. Maybe this will get thing’s turned around in the Pacific for me my team…

i was worried about that……

the dice gods…god damn them.

!Battle score for attacker is 36."

That’s more than Italy has made in a single turn all game!

Let’s just hope it evens out a bit.

need a SCAMBLE ORDER from the Brits.

You gonna sortie those planes anytime this game there Winston?

LOL WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?!?!

Trans Jordan would block the allies ability to enter the Med!

NOOOO!

I guess you’ll be committing planes to “alexandia’s” airbase… but still…

LAW SEVEN

At the CONCLUSION of this German Turn:

• Place 1 Italian Armor unit in Kwangtung.

And

• Place 1 French Submarine in Sz120.

This is going to make for some Great LOL’s…

Actually…

I present BROTHERS IN ARMS with the choice.

SUB or DESTROYER.  It’s up to them.  For good sportsmanship. :)

As for the other curse-ed lot… well. NO CHOICE for you. :)

psst - take the sub! :D You’ll have more fun.

I am unfamiliar with this “Law Seven”

Why are Italian units going to china and french units going on the board?

Law seven is supposed to compensate for bad luck, and help make the games more fun.

No scramble, I’ll keep my planes alive and unused instead of used and dead for now. (perhaps I’ll use them later, who knows?)

I think we’ll chose the submarine. I’ll just pretend it’s the Quebecois war effort kicking in. (Not sure how to justify the Italians in China though…)

Yeah… is there any opposition to us just playing out the game as-is? I am not upset about the way dice have been. In fact it is really bad or good dice that MAKES the game fun and interesting. If dice are crazy sometimes (as they have been) I think it actually REMOVES the incentive to alter the game to make it more fun.

Thoughts everyone?

Kyle are you REVOLTING against me? :)

• This is my tournament!  :-o
• You agreed to the rules!  :evil:
  and rule #7 is valid and posted!  :lol:

:D

Ok…

That said, I digress, it’s my hope your all here having fun.

If all of you are in agreement, who am I to interfere with consensus? and good gaming? you may proceed with no alterations.

But I expect the holiest of holies, may want to holy on to his vision of an Italo-Pacific campaign.

Rule #7 only exists to mitigate total dice rape, and present players with unique - character building and thought testing experiences.

I’ll leave it with all of you. :)  Great game by the way guys…

I will continue with the game as is for now. If anyone has strong feelings about more French units or Italians in China we can work out the details later.

For now…

Fine Churchill, hang that Navy out to dry once again. But mark my words. I’m gonna get that RAF if it’s the last thing I dooooo!

Here is G5:
