Pejon 88 (X) vs. JDOW (Allies +12), BM3

[JDOW]

Oh, the odds are even worse as the bomber would retreat after the first round
so we have 3% x 33% x 3% x 33% = 0.01%

Thanks MARTI.

[Pejon_88]

@JDOW Wow! I totally agree. Definitely the worst consecutive turns I have ever seen!!! I will look at yours and Trulpen’s game now actually. Truplen asked me to look at it after, apparently having lost Berlin?, so I guess that means you are back in the fight against him?

I don’t know what you say about redoing turns etc.? It is very unorthodox, but to me the game should be fun. One recent example is when I played Wizmark and his J2, I think, was horrendous. He was about to give in, but I let him do certain edits, like redoing a battle or adding units, but I thought it was either that or “win” due to weird dice. In our 2nd game he was gracious to let me redo a NCM were he autokilled two of my Japanese transports after J2/3, which more or less also would have been the game from my end.

What do you say?

[JDOW]

This is very generous of you, thanks a lot for the offer. It is much appreciated and shows great sportsmanship.
But I decline the offer to redo any of these battles.

Although I am heavily complaining about the dice here, I believe they are the spice that makes the game so interesting. I never played a low luck game so far for that reason.
Also, I never played games with agreed rerolls. I believe they violate the nature of the game turning this into gambling with insurance.

4-5 years ago I lost a G1 against Karl at 99.916% odds at France. He also offered me a reroll but I rejected, too.

Thus, thanks again for the offer but please continue with the map as it is. I apologize for the dice whining, it will stop from here.

Best.
Tobias

@JDOW Haha, wow that France battle is unheard of! Ok, sure we will continue. If I lose the game you are either very awesome or I suck ;)

[JDOW]

Yup, the France attack was an undiluted attack of all available 20 ground units. That was sick.

[JDOW]

HAHA, I have found digged out the old dicing thread:
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/21731/hall-of-shame-tales-of-the-worst-dice-ever/33?page=2

This one was nice, too

JDOW '15 '14 Dec 4, 2013, 11:38 PM
This happened a couple of minutes ago. My hands are still shaking, my pulse is increased and I seriously think of never playing again that game.
The odds on the battles for me to win were:
Germany: 63% (I would say the odds to survive with 6 units remaining are at 5% maybe)
Bulgaria: 88%
Burma: 88% (I would say 2 survivors is ~worst 3-5%)
Not losing Bomber in Ukraine: ~65%
Kaz: ~75% to kill the Inf, losing the tac was tilt, I missclicked, I could not control my hands in that moment

This is BY FAR the worst thing that happened in A&A in my life and there was nothing not even close to that in 1 round.

And here is the France battle

JDOW '15 '14 Jan 22, 2014, 12:13 PM
Curse or blessing when a game gets screwed in G1 already?

99,916% seems not to be 100%, obv. And the irony is: I always tell people not to dilute the attack on France and always take the full amount of ground units. And despite that I am the one who gets screwed while I would say 90%+ of the A&A players never failed on France G1.

Battle in France

I know I said I did not want to complain about dice anymore but I was not prepared to lose another 97%!!! in the very next turn
This tiny battle about the control of Yunnan is absolutely crucial in the early stage of the game and I run out of words to describe what is going on here.

This meanwhile feels like I am being pranked by MARTI. The sequence of dice I experience sets a new record.

Maybe it is a sign to throw the towel sooner in order to shorten my misery.

Unbelievable.
