Wow!!!  That was some of the worst dice I’ve ever seen. Had a 1% AND a 4% result happen. Bad, bad dice and very good for the allies.

In fairness, they had about equally lousy luck in Iraq (can’t put a precise % on it because it didn’t go to the death).

I’m not sharing the luck from my half of the map though  :-P

Battlecalc gave something like 96% on Iraq.

Also Tobruk R1 and Keny alst round where also some of the most stupid dice I’ve ever seen.

I’ll call a pause, we may alter our ncm…

If it doesn’t matter to Italy whether the British bb is in sz55 or sz46 feel free to proceed with Italy otherwise I ask that you wait until our team has discussed this issue and potentially altered our ncm.

It probably doesn’t matter to Italy.

You can reserve the right to move it if Italy goes before you decide.

Splendid.  :-)

Would you be okay if we maybe redid the turn there’s somthing wrong that we won’t be able to change with moving around a few NCM or would this be too much in your opinion.
We’re not quite decided if it’s really necessary but if you won’t allow it it’s a mood point anyway.

To be more specific it was the American turn that went a little of course due to miscommunication. So the “turn” we are asking to redo is the whole US-China-UK turn.

Another example of miscommunication the proposed seazone was sz54 since that fleet can’t reach sz55. :-)

Since one of your land units hit and 3 planes weren’t actually necessary, I don’t see the need to re-roll New Guinea.  If you adjust your fleet positions based on the freedom of not having sent fighters from SZ56, that’s fine with me.

I hope that’s cool with kilroy (if not, we can let Gargantua decide) … in the meantime you can post an adjusted map.

I’ll get to it soon.
