Could you please post each country’s turn?  Part of the reason I keep asking is because I check this at work where I don’t have Triple A - as previously mentioned, it just makes my life easier.

You had a 2% chance of winning the battle and actually won it handily!  Not much I can do there… I guess I should have technically stopped the battle 1-2 rounds before the end, regrouped and attacked again next turn again.  Oh well, too late now.

I resign, you win.  I’ll post the result

[MrRoboto]

Crazy! Especially after my AAA didn’t hit at all.

Didn’t we agree on a LL reroll? Anyway, if you want, we can reroll it with LL and continue the game then. I feel I don’t deserve this win yet, with this dice luck.

[toan6ca]

I don’t think we agreed on a low luck reroll, and in any case I wouldn’t feel good about taking the battle away from you just because you (massively) lucked out, as painful as it was for me.

What I may take you up on, is continuing the game from the point at which I should have retreated my forces but just started being stupid since I had given up, ie. after you rolled 8/13 I should have retreated 5 planes since the odds were way in your favour at that point.

If you’re OK with that, I may be up for continuing.  I say “may” because I would need to analyze the board one more time before going ahead, as this would be a massive uphill battle for me and the Russians are about to run rampant while I would need to use up most of my forces to take UK next turn.

[MrRoboto]

In all honesty, if we only agree to continue from the point where you should have retreated, you might as well give up. I don’t see how you would be able to build a new force AND hold against Russia.
Remember, you can only retreat the planes…

But really - you don’t need to feel bad about accepting the reroll offer. I’m 100% fine with it, absolutely. If it helps you accept it, we could grant me a future LL reroll option as well.

You know what? In fact, I’m just going ahead and Reroll the first round!
