13/14L wheatbeer (Axis) vs Gamerman (Allies +10)

[gamerman01]

Man, you are riding some kind of luck streak

[wheatbeer]

Yeah, I would have been happy with 2 planes down in Iraq  :|

If you want to do any kind of luck-correction, I am open to ideas.

[gamerman01]

Nope - and I’m referring to the sequence of events going back to R3, Java notwithstanding  :-)

Frustrating for a moment, but dice are very fickle and are liable to swing back for me
Or not  :-)

[gamerman01]

Maybe this is your game!  Looking forward to the next couple of rounds

For now, I think I’ve just ruled out trying to defend Bryansk and Russia both.  More calculations to run…

[gamerman01]

Ah, that’s much better already

I couldn’t find a nice quality video for this scene,

C-3PO: Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1.
Han Solo: Never tell me the odds.

[gamerman01]

You don’t have to find it - I know that scene, in the “asteroid” in Empire Strikes Back  :-)

Games are just more fun with appropriate internet links and movie clips  :-D
