Stalingradski (Axis) vs Jeff28 (Allies) G40 Allies +10

I was just about to post the same thing. I’m sorry that happened.

I know we haven’t played before, but I have a hard time when luck has more of an effect than skill, for either myseld or the person I’m playing against. You deserved to have Anzac’s economy back to a good size.

Overall in this game, I’m up quite a lot in luck, in a lot of small battles, over and over again. I know it doesn’t necessarily make it better, but at least you’re playing against someone who recognizes it for what it is.

Jeff - that battle went almost exactly by odds… you got two extra hits.

I was shaking the whole time… that many dice in a battle can mean extreme joy or extreme misery… it is amazing that it ended up being so close to what was supposed to happen.
