[Most Holy]

I don’t giv a shit about odds. That French fleet was a nightmare last game and now it’s gone. Beaut!

[Canuck12]

Plus, technically it ended in a draw and the French still scored a better average roll.

I would hate to see what you guys would have said if it was won without casualties!

[Noll]

I wouldn’t be complaining about dice if it was an isolated case.

Remember you gained an 80 TUV change out of pure luck.

While GHR2 had luck in a battle against Germany, it was a 90% battle where he got less casualities than what he should have.

As USA, I lost 4fighters, 1tac.bombers and 3bombers, they hitted 3times round1, 0times round2, and you killed everything, and lost 1dd 1tac.bmb. That’s gamebreaking.
Then a single DD kills a bombers, and don’t even get killed by it (-12).

Then you attack 2dd 1cr (2@2 1@3 - 3hits) with 1fig 1bmb (1@3 1@4 - 2hits), with a winning chance of 11.5%, you also had the guts to say that the french fleet rolled above average while you sunk it? Huh…

At least, due to sheer luck you’re getting, you could either admit or ignore it, but writing bullshits statements like the last one you did, is not going to make this game enjoyable for us, like it already wasn’t. The effect is that this will be a very slow game and I’ll take my time for playing each turn.
