Hi all,

Gargantua said that The “diced challenged” theory/rule which was under discussion during XDAP 2 preliminary planning, is officially stricken from the record.

There was room for possible exploitation. But of course, no one here would do anything like that… ;)

Hence forth, whatever dice you will roll, or have rolled thus far in the tournament. Are a permanent fixture in time :D

Does that mean reroll is no longer available  in our game?

I assumed no scramble from Egypt, if you want to then just roll for the ftr on the forum and edit as necessary.

Your assumption is correct.  Are you having a baby, Bmnielsen? Do let us know the good news pls.

Could you tell me what the dice challenged theory/rule is and what kind of exploit exists?
I have no clue so far what this is about.

The rule was in the original XDAP2 thread here: http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=34519.0

Don’t know what the exploit was though.

[bmnielsen]

We’re going to resign this game. We’ve both got too much on our plates and I think our chances to win were almost completely destroyed by my berlin blunder :)

Well played and good luck in the tournament!

[MagicQ]

GG. That is lucky. Allies were on the edge of losing Pacific. Fortunately I spotted a can-opening opportunity last minute. Thank you for the game. Congrats to Bmnielsen! You lost the war but won a full family.  Is it a boy or girl?

[MagicQ]

Sorry I missed the word “she”. A girl obviously  :lol:
