Are you asking to back up the full round to right after Round 3 Japan?    I normally would not mind a small backup, but a ton of dice have been rolled in that time on the other side of the map so I am not sure how to fairly address those.  Let me know what you propose there.

Also I wouldn’t mind just playing another game with the same bid if you like.  We are allowed to play up to 3 league games against the same opponent.

I dont really want to post another loss due to my ignorance. Ineptitude yes, ignorance no. If you’re agreeable, lets restart from US round 3. On the European side, if you pursue the same strategy, things shouldn’t turn out much different seeing how we are playing low luck. If you dont want to do that, allow me to edit the US fleet and start from Japan 4. 
Also, whats the deal with Magnolia? I thought for sure they would join me if you attacked Amur.

I think that there were fights there like the 1/3rd shot for your destroyer missing that I prefer not to lose navy or air for.  How about this.  If you can reasonably edit the before Japan 4 turn to what the US would have been, I will take a look and decide?  I don’t think this has ever been asked for in a League game that I remember.

Keep in mind also that neither of us is making it to the finals of the League, so this is just playing for fun with an added aspect of people not flaking out. I would not take losses very seriously and just treat them as learning experiences for tricks or things not to do.

Re Mongolia - I believe they should join Russia unless you happened to have stepped into one of the Chinese territories on the other side bordering Mongolia - not totally sure.

Yes I beleive that is correct regarding Korea.  I did not say that you were not that good.  I was only saying that based on the fact that if you wanted to qualify for the championships, you would only be playing tier e and m players.  Even a win against a tier 3 is worth less than a loss against a master level.  Therefore based on our previous games, it is highly likely we are not making the championships.  Not an indictment of skill per se.  I haven’t seen enough of your game to be sure, though I will say that the top players I have played have never asked for takebacks of this magnitude or even smaller ones that I recall.

Yup it was fun and definitely if you want to play again League or not, I am up for it.

What does 18L mean

2018 League Global 40 Low Luck was the abbreviations I used in the title.

In general, I don’t like to reset to earlier, anytime dice have been rolled.  I am more than happy to allow edits that are on the same turn, but I didn’t see an easy way for us to go back that far and get the same results of some of the other battles.
