This is why I proposed 3 LL rerolls, for some extreme dice situations like this, dice games are not so interesting, 3 russian planes and 3 japan planes should be out and it would be a different game.

@JuanSpain:

This is why I proposed 3 LL rerolls, for some extreme dice situations like this, dice games are not so interesting, 3 russian planes and 3 japan planes should be out and it would be a different game.

I meant a different game, referring to the interesting one to see, I discarded your typical opening in J1 to eliminate those russian planes allthoug Japan looses 3 planes too or even 4, not having achieved any of those targets (your J1 targets or the one I wanted instead), simply because of R1 dice, changes the game completelly and looses the interest to see what happens in a normal situation (not extremelly altered by dice as just happened) when the strategy evolves.

I agree G1 was good. I however would have preferred average in both G1 and J1 for sure. Pure luck generates diversity, yes, I just wanted test this and not something different… jaja

A full LL game is different, I agree, however 3 LL rerolls per player is not much for a Global game, where a minimum of 10 rounds and around 200 battles per player ussually take place. In the end you only use them on extreme circumstances for your strategy, if you don´t have them and this happens, basically you loose mainly because of dice.

Well, loosing or winning because of dice sometimes is part of authentic A&A too… I just wanted something different when facing the best strategist with Axis, a compromise between strategy and dice.

USA is up!

Bringing this up.
