Message from Nels Thompson:
Let’s reroll the Utah assault. Pretty painless moment to set precedent that without orders a roll is discarded. I’ll take the liberty of throwing the dice. 8:3 I believe it is. Attacker first, per convention.

I know ACTS is the official record but I personally really rely on Vassal: I plan to send you (Nels) a log file and a vsav file at each step. Once in a while (for example a failed bombardment) a separate log file wouldn't be useful but I'll document that in ACTS when it happens.
