[Stalingradski]

By the gods the dice are fickle. You said it well.

I just had a league round when all three aircraft facing AA were hit in the same round… snake eyes in one spot and a single hit in another… 3 for 3 on ones is a 1 in 216 probability. Ouch!

You’re beating me up in this game. Yes, you still have to make it through to Egypt (or London), so we have a ways to go, but that Caucasus battle will probably be my doom.

On the bright side, the UK will get 2 IPCs… and an IC… for a round  :-D

Regarding playing through when things look bleak - agreed. Sometimes the writing is completely on the wall and there’s no point, but if there’s still a glimmer, the dice can always come back your way in a big battle - you never know.

[Stalingradski]

Ok, my turn to go against the odds… a 45% battle.

I’m assuming you scramble - do you use kamikazes? If so, how do you distribute them?

SZ6 scramble and kamis.tsvg

[elevenjerk]

yes scramble!!!  I am pretty sure you can’t use them on planes so 1 kami for each destroyer.  Hopefully I can get 1 :-D

If you can use them on planes.  1 for each bomber and 1 for tac.

[Stalingradski]

Yes - surface ships only, so 6 destroyers is a good use of them. I figured 2 out of 6 hits when I used the battle calculator to get the 45%. Getting only 1 might be my salvation… getting 3 my doom!

More doom for me!  :-)

Rolling…

[Stalingradski]

Ok, 2 out of 6 it was. Here goes the rest. I’ll ask for OOL if anything unusual happens. Since I brought land units to Korea, it’s clear I want to fight to the bitter end…

This game has officially become strange. I won in SZ6, and lost a destroyer and fighter in SZ125 without killing your German destroyer.

It’s also a classic. Thanks for the battle - you’re really good with the Axis, and I think this one might go 25 turns, maybe more. The US looks like it’ll be showing up at some point again around the Caucasus area  :-D

Man I don’t know how much more I can take.  I am just getting mad!!!

[elevenjerk]

Not quitting yet!!  I know my armies can’t take much more.  Taking Caucasus next turn will be very difficult.  I think the dice server has something against me.  I have 3 other games going and in all the games I am getting hit by 40 - 50 % on 2’s.  It is really quite frustrating!!!  Especially when my 3’s and 4’s are only hitting at that rate.

Sorry I will quit complaining…… I just hate losing :-D

I read the results on the road today at work… man, it was ugly. It wasn’t just one battle, but a bunch.

If it makes any difference, I’m aware you’d be winning this game if the dice were equal.

By the way, about ten years ago I broke my hand punching a wall after horrible dice defending Moscow in A&A Europe… so getting mad over dice is in my blood too…  :wink:

A&A is a strategy game with dice, not a dice game with strategy like Risk. Skill and planning should be the deciding factor… in theory  :-)
