yeah, can’t argue with the math, perhaps I have been diced so many times I am just skittish. I think I tend to play overly conservative……afraid of the dicing to come! That’s me.

you are braver than me! I hedge on attacking the CHI stack of 10 men and a fgt, worrying about that 50% @2 hit on D…didn’t expect you to attack me there, unsure how it plays out? with the loss of all that air I think the allies will be more aggressive in the pacific now. Have you read, or seen, wheat beer’s LL Reroll house rule. I use it when playing him, most others say no thanks…but you might appreciate it?
