An Ordo Paradoxia Announcement

We tried a war a few days ago, but it didn't work out due to our target going into war, so here we go again.  
 
Lots of idioms and phrases come to mind....
 
 
BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD.
 
 
This one dates back to 1941 WWII, stemming from an editorial cartoon of all things, but referring to an engineer's need to re-design something when it goes wrong.

BACK TO SQUARE ONE
 
This one goes back to the 1950's anyway and most likely comes from either the children's game Snakes and Ladders or Hopscotch.

[slightly creepier than the more Americanized 'chutes and ladders' I remember from my youth]
 
or how about...
 
START FROM SCRATCH
 
NOT THISscratch.jpg
 
Rather, this is generally attributed to the sports world, where a line would be scratched into the dirt to serve as a starting line and then the slower runner would be given a head start and the presumed favorite would 'start from scratch'.  
 
Anyway, getting back to task - we're going back to war.
