18L MrRoboto (Axis) vs JWW(Allies) BM3 Game 2

[666]

@MrRoboto:

My German attack had a 93% success chance
My Italian attack had a 96% success chance, even considering “one attacking land must live”.

It actually wasn’t so risky.

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?

Yeah I know about this rule and I am in favour of it.

In this game, however, it wouldn’t have helped that much (only a little).
I did not lose a big huge battle, but rather lost many many small battles

@MrRoboto:

Yeah I know about this rule and I am in favour of it.

In this game, however, it wouldn’t have helped that much (only a little).
I did not lose a big huge battle, but rather lost many many small battles

yeah, like anything, it is difficult for me, to not over employ it. I tend to use it at non critical junctures while in my last game with him he held one for a bigger battle that was more important where the round one dice went all crazy. anyways I find his ruleset a bit complicated, i would probably go for a simpler version but if you want to employ it just let me know.

[MrRoboto]

It’s not that complicated imho.

Every player gets a LL reroll. When both players used theirs, both get a new one.

This is the rule set he uses. Yeah, not overly complicated but I still seem to forget simple rules in BM…?!?
"Each side starts with 2 low-luck rerolls (can increase later by mutual agreement if needed), and they can be used for any battle (whether the user is the attacker or defender) with the exception of capitals.

An attacking power can only use a low luck reroll on a capital city battle if they had a 90% or greater chance of capturing it with pure luck dice.

A defending power can only use a low luck reroll on a capital city battle if they had a 90% or greater chance of holding it with pure luck dice."

case in point, the vichy rules……didn’t realize what just occurred could happen. Lost all the air power because of my lack of comprehensive, or retention on the rules. 52 pic’s worth of air…wtf
