You’ve had luck out of this world in this game……

I am frustrated. I attack UK with a 98% chance to win with 8-9 units left. And I LOSE!

Good game. I don’t want to play this game anymore. I got diced in Japan, losing 15 planes more than I should, I got diced in sz112, and I get diced now.

I would gladly do a low luck reroll if you would offer it, but games like this is what causes me to need a break from time to time.

[arathorn]

How can someone be diced like that THREE times in the SAME game?

[arathorn]

@arathorn:

That was a 99% battle! With 16 units left! lol

Frustration #1

[arathorn]

@Karl7:

I see I got lucky… again… :-P

Frustration no. 2

Frustration no. 3

I don’t know what to say. The three biggest battles on the board all decide to dice me to pieces.

[Karl7]

ha ha… this is funny!

THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED TO ME AGAINST DIZZ>>… holy cow…

I attacked with 98% chance and lost.

This came is crunked… let call it and do a playoff

I am posting the loss now.
I am so angry right now…. I am shaking. ;)

[Karl7]

When this happened to me, I was pissed for a couple days…

I understand your pain.

We are 1 and 1, so there is playoff you can get your vengeance!

@Karl7:

Haha. It is passing already. It is just so frustrating to lose big because of it. This was such an interesting game.
I was blocking US from entering Gib in Combat, and Italy was ready to make some crazy stuff in a second and third wave against UK. Germany would take over Africa… BLAH All of my grand plans.

We’ll get our playoff. But it will have to be a little later. I want to finish all the other games now, and be finished with them, so that I can concentrate on beating you. And I can assure you, vengeance will be sweet! ;)

[Karl7]

Cool!

I look forward to it.

Not sure how the Axis were going to pull this one off.  There was a lot of game left so anything could have happened.  I was hoping you’d go after UK so the USSR could really ramp up.

But so it is.

See at the playoff captain.  :lol:
