13L G40 Gamerman01(allies+10) vs seththenewb(axis) take 2

And you got weak SBR damage, at least……

But this horrendous luck has got to stop.  Nobody can win against sustained dice like that.

@seththenewb:

Yeah, I noticed that too. The subpar SBR damage probably helps some, but I’d rather do the subpar damage and claim the 2 fighters vs 0-1 fighters and max damage.

No DUH, Seth!  Excuse me while I look for a silver lining somewhere!

Freaking Russian fortress was one bright spot (besides Yunnan, which is now extremely weakened) in this game and you go and shoot down both fighters and I get nothing.  Freaking RIDICULOUS what is going on in this game.
This is where a guy has got to stay on his game and not let the torrent of stupid dice get into the psyche

I only have a couple freaking Allied fighters on this freaking board!  Ridiculous!!  :x

5 1’s missed you, but 2/3 hit me.  Sickening.  Now I’m facing continued SBR with no defense, and you hardly EVER get hit by AA.

Dang it, I should have taken France like I almost did.  You would have sent bombers to France because I would have had 6 units there.  But of course, both counterattacks go rosy for you and you don’t even have to make a choice in South France - FRUSTRATING

I’m glad to see J4 posted!  I need to move on!
Thanks also for not replying to my mini-rant.  All part of the game.  I was fortunate in East Poland, and I do not recall much else from this game.  The 6 fighters I lost so quickly was very unexpected and quite a setback, and a result of highly unlikely dice, so was frustrating, I know you understand.

OK, USA is next

If we play enough games, we all have the same luck, I think!
A mathematical truth, right?

All right, here we are.  Time for an Allied response

Time to bring out that monstrous can of whuppass.

@Boldfresh:

Time to bring out that monstrous can of whuppass.

Time to get diced again

2 BMB vs DD, CA, transport

He loses a destroyer, I lose both American bombers in the Pacific

Miraculously, 2 FTR and 1 BMB take out a destroyer with no losses

BUT BOTH FIGHTERS MISSED

STOP doing your international program of LSD-experiments to make your pilots more reckless, it obviously failed  :lol:
