G40L Eggman (Allies +4) vs MiamiUMike (Axis) - Match 3!

[Eqqman]

@miamiumike:

Take care and good luck in your other games.

Ok, I’ll be here.

[boldfresh]

Id like to say we’ve all been there but im not sure many people have ever been through the types of epic bad dice runs that seem to plague you ande so regularly…  :|

Meant to say you and me.  :-)

[miamiumike]

I don’t even mind bad dice - they happen. What makes this no fun is when bad dice happen over and over and over - and its all one-sided. Eggman can beat me with his ability to play alone - I cannot win against that and stupid dice. And for most of this game, that is what we have seen.

I know it is no fun for Eggman to hear me bitch about the dice either - and for that I am sorry as I said before.

[miamiumike]

Going to post Japan - since there really isnt much happening…
