@snake11eyes:

You need to get 0 hits for about the next 10 battles to even things up with the dice

[gamerman01]

“only” 2 hits

good grief, this is absolutely brutal

[gamerman01]

Oops, forgot I need to keep going to keep the French from breaking up my destroyer block.

Rolled Bryansk and Alexandria and won both without loss  :-o
but I don’t believe those are related.

Please allow - the delay waiting for your casualty choice since last night caused me to forget the importance of wiping the French.  Thanks.

Nope.  I haven’t hit anyone with AA in forever, and I just took 3/3 hits from infantry.

No problem at all - you didn’t change your buy after rolling consequential combat dice.  No explanation needed - thanks.

[gamerman01]

Annnnnd…. you immediately shoot down my bomber over Moscow.

No hits in Rostov…. that helps offset it, but it still SUCKS  :lol:

@Boldfresh:

Thanks, it’s quite a cursed streak, but it’ll probably all be good in the end.

I think I’ve got the Europe win.  But this is actually my first time I’ve got to play Germany for 6 rounds, so this is pretty much a maiden voyage at this point :)

It’s gonna be great to take over Moscow…. Caucasus… the Middle east… I’m gonna be rich!

Unless Snake has some serious tactics up his sleeve that I’m not seeing

[gamerman01]

Aw, dang, Germany doesn’t get the NO if she feeds Moscow to the Italians……

[gamerman01]

@Boldfresh:

Well, I still believe in doing the same things that I would do anyway (or I wouldn’t have tried an SBR, that’s for sure), but if this keeps up much longer I’ll probably get paranoid and more conservative.

But no amount of horrible luck will ever make me consider playing “low luck”.  What a ridiculous bastardization of the game (credit to Bold for coming up with that appropriate label first)
