13L G40 NT Arathorn (Axis) vs JDOW (Allies +12)

[arathorn]

When can we expect your Russian advance? ;)

[JDOW]

Hey…

was forced by my father in law to drink Wodka at dinner (which I prepared for 2 hours). Cannot move today with alcohol in my veins, enough blunders and poor decisions happened already and in this position every move belongs together, especially Russian with US/UK.
However I do NOT want to raise the impression I delay the game due to my bad position.
Russkies coming tomorrow and US/ZH/UK also same day once your Jap3 is done.

Will keep reasonable pace till the end!

@arathorn:

Advance? I just learned from Bold vs whaet that the Russkies have to walk into China and keep Baltic, EP and Bessa empty vs sea lion. Probably I abandon Moscow already looking for a new home in Korea…or why not FIC?:)

Oh dear, I really cant believe how the dices are going in this game. Yes, this is whiny, but I want to kill 5 Inf in Asia and these guys kill SIX of my units. What happened in Kweichow? What in Sudan?

How can I lose TWICE with 2 ground + air vs 2 ground with zero losses on your end?
Hoe can a stupid Italians sub kill a DD in a one on one twice?

Yeah, Scotland went slightly above average, but this cant really compensate that every, really every single other detail in dices went against me so far. I really feel I should celebrate I did not lose the Mech in Shensi.

@JDOW:

Oh dear, I really cant believe how the dices are going in this game. Yes, this is whiny, but I want to kill 5 Inf in Asia and these guys kill SIX of my units. What happened in Kweichow? What in Sudan?

How can I lose TWICE with 2 ground + air vs 2 ground with zero losses on your end?
Hoe can a stupid Italians sub kill a DD in a one on one twice?

Yeah, Scotland went slightly above average, but this cant really compensate that every, really every single other detail in dices went against me so far. I really feel I should celebrate I did not lose the Mech in Shensi.

:(

You’re not whining, because in several small battles, you’ve had really bad dice.
I guess I had to have a game sooner or later wih some luck, since I usually have poor dice.

I understand exactly how you feel. I am “complaining” a little in my game against Seth, and my dice haven’t been as bad as yours.

I actually hope i get more average dice instead. I like it to be on par.

[JDOW]

I was btw thinking back and forth whether to retreat in Scotland leaving you one tank or not. However I thought one dead tank more was better with the bomber as potential casualty. Furthermore I thought it might be a bit more inconvenient to clear two spaces in UK. Now looking for the Russkies.

@arathorn:

I guess I had to have a game sooner or later wih some luck, since I usually have poor dice.

Don’t get influenced too much by Bold. Nobody with a decent sample size “usually” has bad dice;)
So yes, with your record of 11-12 games there  might be some swings but I truly believe that in average everybody gets the same and the rest is the well known “perceived bad luck”^^

But in all fairness, I can understand people thinking like that. despite all the rational I have I can also not emancipate to complain about dice as I just showed in this game^^
