    For game http://www.wargear.net/games/view/29053, when I go to the history tab, I get a message that "History Load Failed". I've tried clicking the reset button but it keeps coming back with the same message.

    Wow this one is almost a year old - it's actually timing out due to the game duration. It will be tricky to fix this one, I'll see what I can do.

    Why don't you just win the game? {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

    Seriously, though, with stacks that large (good for attack dice advantage) and the huge unit count advantage you have going, I think you could sweep it. Move the two big 2000-unit stacks to the front lines and it's over, methinks. 2000 v. 2000 with 6v6 dice, you're expected to take the territory with about 280-300 units. Seems like it's time to take the initiative...

    I think Siege07 has a pretty good chance, but it would still be tough.

    .85 * (5 139 + 7 802) = 10 999.85

    So expected losses of about 11,000 guys to take everyone else out.  Plus about another 100 guys needed to fill in the territories taken.  With 11274 units total, that is cutting it fairly close & you basically have to get everyone of your men into the battle.  Card capture will help a bit, but even a turn in for 500 units is only 10% of the weakest player. 

    It would suck to wipe out 90% of the board and then hit a string of bad luck.  It's gotta be a tough call to be in a game for a year and then risk it all.

    Close enough to 50% to try. I usually don't ask for better than 50% odds to win a game with 3 players left, especially one that started with 6. The numbers are about to change, so his army count might dip a little below expected losses. One nice thing about going for it is that if things start poorly (reassessing every 500-1000), Seige can stop and it will remain a stalemate.

    Does that now hold the record for longest game played and won?

    I'd been doing the math every third turn. When the numbers all of a sudden changed more than I expected I went to check the history and that's how I found the bug.

    Was just finishing up this last game. As you can see it had been going on for quite some time. Now I'm just playing some dev games to help the board designers.
