18L axis-dominion (+3) vs karl8 (allies) bm3

[Karl7]

Oh, I see, you had your planes in Italy too… ha ha… missed that.

Dumb luck saves my dumb ass!

[Karl7]

I guess that’s revenge for my failed sealion against you last time!  :lol:

[axis-dominion]

thanks for the offer, but I’m going to pass for now. whenever I get diced that bad, it’s usually a sign from my higher self that I’m playing too much and need to slow down or take a break. so I’m going to wrap up my existing games and start ramping back down. I’ve got a lot of them cooking right now.

[Karl7]

wow:  British : 11.00

[JDOW]

wow, sick dice. What odds did the Germans have?

[Karl7]

Calc said 90+ for Germany

However looking at the rolls and the casualty profiles I can see how with just a tip of the dice the battle can go sideways, which it did

[Karl7]

But that being said I did get lucky

But I think the allies need luck or at least set themselves up for defensive opportunities that can cut their way
