Those are some really weird dice.  Germans rolled lower on average but got smoked in france.  Strange.

it goes to show that these results, the average etc means little.

[boldfresh]

quick, do japan and you’ll feel better.  the thing about axis is you can win on either side of the map.

[boldfresh]

oops forgot to do the edit in france on this map.

[boldfresh]

i do not do s france anymore because of this possibility.  course that’s no guarantee you would have won in france even with the extra units the way you were rolling.

@Boldfresh:

i didn’t used to either but I see an advantage to taking it and without those 3 G units you still have 98% to take france…it’s hard to argue against it w/the 98%.

and the problem w/winning as JPN now is that russia and america can pay a lot more attention to japan……
the real shame is we haven’t played a game that didn’t have whacked T1 dice yet….I think.

I don’t believe you have really beaten me yet…

I’d say GG bold but it wasn’t.

at least our games are consistently short and sweet. Perhaps our 2016 match will last longer than T1, hell this one is shorter than last year, last year it went to B1!!  :lol:

[boldfresh]

wanna use the same starting map and go game 2?

[boldfresh]

wow you rained fire on hunan for sure but it all got used up before the yunnan roll.  had you rolled yunnan first whole different story.  wow.

[boldfresh]

geez i dont remember EVER getting a start that great as the allies.  that’s insane JWW.  sorry bout that - but as i said, i’d go again if you want, same starting map.

[boldfresh]

that’s just horrible luck man.  just a pure dice win.

[boldfresh]

if you’re gonna lose a game to dice, it’s better at least if it’s all compressed into round 1 i suppose.

[666]

looks like we are back on-line.

Do you want the same bid, 17 for the allies, placement etc for our 2nd attempt at a real game?
