@Booper said in L25 Playoff OOB GeneralDisarray (X) V ABH (A) Bid 50:

@gamerman01 @axis-dominion

I believe it is resolved as ABH did official resign in the Results section.

Tough situation, but agree with what AD mentioned, that in this case explicit casualty selection is required. When it’s “obvious”, OOL like “max defense” make sense, but this was far from the case here.

Applaud both players in reacting in good sportsmanship in the aftermath.

i think it’s a matter of interpretation of literal vs intent/spirit of the request… even “max defense” can backfire horribly if interpreted too literally (eg taking out the last dd instead of say a cruiser or fig when attacker has a lot of subs remaining, basically similar to what happened here), there is inherently an entrusting to the one running the battle that they will try their best to make the right interpretation, and usually we do it this way due to efficiency/expediency. however, given this is a playoff game, the correct approach would’ve been to insist on explicit casualty picks so as to eliminate the possibility of mis-interpretation.
