13L wheatbeer (Axis) vs Rasmustb (Allies +12)

The UK advantage was somewhat thin (55% pure luck / 65% low luck).

Would keeping the low luck result but not counting it as your reroll be a good remedy?

You can use edit to fix your NCM.

I don’t mind changing NCM so long as it happens before the next Axis turn (and even then, there could be wiggle room if you ask).

Wiggle away sir (i.e. you’re welcome to edit  :-)).

Italy will use a low luck reroll in Algeria. I totally whiffed in round 1.

Is using forum dice to roll the low luck okay? Or do you prefer using the dice within tripleA?

It isn’t a make or break battle, but I am interesting in clearing Algeria for a couple of reasons.

To roll forum dice for 1 inf, 1 tank, 1 strat you’d write

:?aaa 1@1 1@3 1@4?:

(remove the question marks next to the colons, I had to add them to show you the format instead of actually rolling)

Italy: 1 cru bombard, 1 BB bombard, 1 inf, 1 art, 1 fighter, 1 strat
= 18 = 3r0

no remainder to roll

France: 3 inf, 1 fig = 10 = 1r4

Rolls: 1@4; Total Hits: 01@4: (6)

round 2

Italy: 1 art, 1 fighter, 1 strat = 9 = 1r3

overkill

France: 1 fig = 0r4

Rolls: 1@4; Total Hits: 01@4: (6)
