The Gettysburg game has an interesting rule that takes a little of the sting out of extreme dice. One side holds a “take-over” marker that if played allows the redo of a single battle during a turn. Once played, the opponent takes over marker and may play it at will, and so forth. As the Allies have more resilience than the Axis, I propose that the Axis begin with marker. I have used such a marker with a game with Stucifer and never used it because I did not encounter dice so extreme that I wanted to turn the marker over to the Allies. Let me know if you would be open to this rule.

@mikawagunichi Thanks for the interesting game!
