yep, that was epic.  my dice are incredible oh so often.  :lol:

well, new life for you in a game you were on track to be terribly smothered in.  :wink:

[boldfresh]

i think i took all mech for you - just clicked through.  feel free to change your casualties however you wish.  :lol:

[boldfresh]

if you can’t win now, then we know something’s up.  :-o

[boldfresh]

traded 53 units for 25.  and you came out with an extra 6 mech,
5 art, and 9 armor.  should be interesting.

[boldfresh]

for the record, i think it was a smart move what you did.  however you could never have hoped in your wildest dreams for an outcome that sweet!  :wink:

had it been a tournament game or if i was actually in the runnings for a playoff, i would not have made the attack.  but i’m playing mostly to have fun and try new things and making that attack just plain runs the risk of a major dicing.  on the other hand, the time i ran it in local, i was the one that ended up with about 15 units.  very dicey battle, the type i would normally avoid since the dice typically HATE me.  :lol:

[hobo]

It’s interesting you initiate so many battles when the odds aren’t in your favor. You also could have retreated earlier after recalculating odds per round.

I also find it interesting your perception on games. Maybe it’s just trash talking but you were nowhere near the dominating position you viewed. Even in the first game you were getting killed and had I been caught up with the VC situation with Japan you never would have won that way.
