Your units survived in SZ113 despite 95% odds of UK victory.

I am sick of losing when the odds are in my favor.

And only a 2.4% chance that the destroyer survives.

Is there any chance I can get a do-over on the UK in exchange for a future Axis do-over (either a whole turn do-over or an individual battle do-over)?

This is at least the third key battle I’ve lost despite being favored to win.

That’s more than fair.  I’m really sorry to ask in a league game (I don’t play for standing, so if I win, you don’t need to report it).

And you never know, the you might get diced in Moscow or somewhere critical and really want a do-over.
