Scream I wanted to see if China would get the N.O. immediately if it took Szech this turn. So I tested it off-line and on round 1, I rolled 3 hits and Japan no hits. But when I rolled on-line, I rolled no hits and you rolled 2 hits. I rarely play test dice because of this.
-
I’ve had the same thing happen to me, where the play-test was good and I should have just done it the first time for real. Then, when I did it for real, it was poor dice. Dice are fickle… you can never depend upon them

You do use the battle calculator (ctrl-B) regularly, do you not?

No intercept. Might have if the American fighters had gone to Moscow, but they have other plans.
-
Sorry. Fully intended to move all mechanized units from West India into Turkmenistan during combat phase, but forgot it. Let me know if you will allow this during NCM using edit, otherwise I will do something else.
-
Yes, edit to allow move to Turk. I always accept such oversights to unopposed combat.
