A Blazing World (4-player game)

[Orm]

We have some special house rules in this game, and one might soon become relevant for the first time in this game, so I would like to highlight it beforehand.


+ No air reaction for naval searches from the mainland to the North Atlantic. Reacting from the Azores is ok. And flying actively during own impulse is also ok.

The new weather is fairly fine. Just as expected when I thought that really lousy weather wouldn't be all that bad.

Picked Blitz for you here as you have the same probability to kill me as the Assault table, but better chance for your unit to survive. The higher probability of my units staying organized is mitigated by the lateness of the turn and your militia can easily retreat into Bagdad and can't be attacked since I won't be in supply that far forward.

Turns out result on the Assault table is the same.

Turn sent.
