Desperate was supposed to be in Italic.  :roll:

My reason for wanting this:
The rerolls will let us mitigate the impact of the dice without going all the way to low luck.

You can still do

desperate

attacks but the odds of them will be the same as in a regular game. Unless your opponent got no rerolls left…  :wink:

I’d agree to three rerolls to each side, but NOT low luck, and they can only be used for rerolling your own attack. Thus you can’t reroll a battle I do

How about you can reroll your attacks and battles your opponent has rerolled.

Units only participate in battle on their own turn or on an enemies turn. In other words; Allied forces only fight together in defense, never offence.
The subs would not be affected. The American fighters would not participate in the battle but would be destroyed if the British carrier they was stationed on was sunk.

edit: You can find these rules on page 21 in Europe Rulebook, under the ‘Multinational Forces’ headline.

Btw I’ve seen that some games played here are using a limited number of battle re-rolls, is that something you have any experience or interest in?
If the answer to the second question ain’t NO! perhaps hold of with scramble replies until with sort out the details…  :-)
