11L LL(+19) v Gamerman01(x) '41 no tech

[Gamerman01]

Sorry I didn't mean to complain was just laughing really that the dice really are taking a crazy toll in many of my games right now.  Hard for me to believe but several other players have commented the same.  I know its just a rough patch, as can happen when dice are involved.  But man, it sure has been crazy lately.  I do think the dice in this game have been pretty on par probably not affecting the game too much either way overall.  The same can not be said in my games with Yoshi unfortunately

Agreed!
Sounds like it!
You are to be commended for voluntarily taking him on

Was hoping the unlucky streak would end this morning but it only got deeper!      This could be an unlucky streak to "go down in history"?

[Gamerman01]

You're starting to sound a lot like an old friend of mine...

What about the triple 1's on attacking infantry in Egypt - reducing my defense on round 2?
I know, my defense was above average too so it cancelled it out, but still....  would have been worse if the 3 infantry had missed.

Glad that UK air force is finally diminishing

Probably!
But I don't know about your luck in all your other games (sounds like it's been really bad for a long time).
Keep pushing through it!  There's no such thing as luck following a player!  Each roll is an independent event!  No one's out to get you!  Don't stop playing!

[LuckyLindy]

I will not stop playing do not worry - it is just a streak that is bound to end!!  I am looking forward to our third game I think I have understood a few things from this one that should be a big help.

Cheers

[LuckyLindy]

In my estimation this last round or so has greatly reduced my chances in this game, beginning with the similar mostly air attack you made on EGY with the Germans that went quite well in contrast to the one we just witnessed.

It now appears pretty clear the axis will prevail.   

Cheers

[Gamerman01]

OK, well let me know when you're ready to quit...  In the meantime I'll just enjoy making G more and more powerful 
I've been very comfortable with this game from the time I was comfortable I would not lose Sumatra or Japan.  From my experience, there was no way I was going to lose after that.  My only fear was America producing 4 or 8 units a turn and easily transporting them all to the mainland...  Taking me long enough to make it convincing without all that...

Glad you're not overly discouraged on the luck.  Just keep trying to look at the dice from an objective eye
