@gamerman01 said in 2024 Playoff OOB Round 1 Pacifiers Board (+42) v Gamerman01:

I would have agreed to eliminating convoy blockade dice before the game, so I would also agree to that from now on in our game, as you proposed

LOL that’s a blunder on my part to agree to this. The random rolling of convoy damage is better for the convoy attacker.

Assuming the Allies do more convoy attacking than the Axis, I think we found a way to reduce bids in OOB

@wizmark Assumed no scrambles in 26 and 43.
