Re: [eia] Second witdrawal check at Bordeaux

["J.J. Young" <jjy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't read through the overwhelming odds rule to see whether or not I 
think it applies, but in any case I don't think anyone's trying to say that 
you go through chit choice twice.  _If_ the rule applies, then it kicks in 
after the first (and only) chit choice, when forces are revealed.  Then the 
combat would become trivial, with no chit choice and simple rolls on 5-2. 
I'm not understanding where a second withdraw chance would come from, 
although as I said I haven't delved deeply into the problem yet.
