A lucky start for the Germans! Must have been a surprise attack. Were you lying to the British about peace overtures again? I know you love to do that. :)
Yeah, good opening. Last 2 G1s I have had were terrible!
See here for legislative commentary on the code:

@captainwalker Morning. I told karl, by WhatsApp, that I would change my last Round’s casualties. I need to protect my fleet! Was minus 94, Therefore, Colt. Should have been plus 15-30. I would have set back the US for a few Turns. Now, who knows!
confirm
Here is a question: assuming a three player game, the one player team could consistently invoke Loser’s Privilege in the hopes of getting rerolls if he loses knowing that his declaration of “decisive battle” can’t be voided.
I suppose the otherside would catch on after the first attempt at forcing a free reroll and just not appeal the decision on whether the decisive battle is really decisive or not and let the jerk lose. Why would you want to go on playing with that kind of guy anyway?
I suppose we could amend the code so that “a player only once per game can invoke loser’s privilege.” But then I could see someone getting up against make or break battles more than once a game.
Sadly good faith sometimes needs to be relied upon for good gaming, and no rule can totally safeguard against opportunism.
Or I guess we could add: “a declaration of decisive battle by a player cannot be retracted, and if that player loses the battle in question, he loses the game regardless if he invokes Loser’s Privilege, a successful appeal notwithstanding.”
I.e. you can’t cry wolf and then try to claw it back. Once you declare decisive battle, it’s victory or death.
Thoughts?
Hey I forgot to attack in eastern front, so I rolled it on dice server. Basically Italian stack vs 1 guy. Your guy hit. So I killed my car.

Shaddup, you got 9 extra hits. Don’t try to sell me your bullshit about how that was good for me. :-p
On average you should have been left with 6 tanks and 8 planes – instead you have 6 tanks, 4 artillery, and 7 planes, and you’ll have the transports to load all of those artillery. You came out way ahead on that one, just like you came out way ahead on G1. The Brits had some decent rolls on UK2, but at some point Germany has to actually take some hits, or it won’t be much of a game!
Oh yeah, I did well in Sealion.
Now it’s Russia’s time to shine!
@taamvan said in "LOSERS PRIVILEGE":
@Karl7 @Argothair The first player must file with the Recorder of Rolls the Notice of Odds. If that player filed the Notice of Odds (sub 2), the other Players have up to fifteen (15) minutes after the decisive battle is declared to request that player file a Notice of Decisive Battle (sub 3) with the Recorder of Rolls.
If no Notice of Decisive Battle has been filed, the Contesting Player('s) assertion that the battle is NOT Decisive shall be conclusive. However, if the Notice was timely filed, then a simple majority vote of all players present (whether active in this game, or not) shall determine whether the battle was truly Decisive as contemplated in this Act, or not.
No flips conducted after a determination of non-decisiveness shall be valid. However, before the putative flip-right is manifest, a Notice of Appeal addressed to Magistrate Harris’ court may be filed. After such Notice of Appeal is filed, the Flip-advocate Player must remit supersedeas bond equal to 3 hours of contract cleaning time with the appelate court so that in theory, a full (but otherwise legally unjustified) flip could be cleaned up by hired contractors. Then, the flip may proceed as otherwise laid out in this Act.
In this instance I would file for a “Writ of Force Majeure!”
FLIP THAT BOARD!
Wait, so you nuked all the air? Ok, doesn’t matter then. Max defense.
I was watching Leningrad to see if there was an opening and there was. But I also got luck too.
Jets are basically the new bombers in this game, I figure. You could reduce range to make them more tactical. Super attack and defense but range 3?
no scram
must have missed something there… thought I had a lock on Italy… oh well, not like they were doing anything anyway
why is everyone encroaching on Russia? Stop it! Go home!
AH! Ok. I will take some time to write up my impressions recommendations then.
