Hall of Shame - tales of the worst dice ever

When Germany tried to take Paris, G1  The French and English Units rolled nothing but ones and twos and Germany couldn’t buy a hit.  Needless to say Germany had to retreat with what they had left and let the Itilians take Paris.  Which really helped Italy early on in the game.

I agree. This “optional tech” rule pretty much means the same playing with it as without. It’s a bad buy. And if you disagree, then fine. But you probable don’t know how to play. Or maybe your just lucky. But for those who want a new system (even better than AA50) I will be coming up with a house rule. I’m developing it right now. Will post it here when finalized.

@rjkesq82:

What say you all about buying a mixture of Mech Inf and Tanks since Mech Inf can get out to Eastern Front faster?

I never tried it before, usually I buy all tanks, but I wonder how it would work out splitting between Mech INF and Tanks.

Oh yeah, as Germany I usually will get 1 tank for every 2-3 mechs. Mechs are cheaper so you can buy more of them and if you still have most of your aircraft available, you can still have the heavy hitters with your aircraft and some tanks and have a wall of mechs for fodder.

I love having it as Japan.  Worth losing a transport for, even.  If you have an airbase in Kwangsi, you can attack India with all your air and then land them on Ceylon.  It’s a beautiful thing.

What I was talking about is that Russia has more muscle in this set-up then in G40. They can be more aggressive and can help defend the Chinese wall and/or the Middle east against the Japanese once India falls (things they don’t get to do much in G40).

China is a strange nation, being brute forced one time as China and Japan still failed to loose take out and to this day, I still have no idea how I kept the Flying Tigers alive.

Guadalcanal is awesome.

I have worn out the dice box does anyone know where to buy replacements?

Although I do love this game I must confess that the box got most of the wear and tear from me using it as my main rolling method for global.

It is great to be able to roll up to 12 dice for different units. If you have 4inf, 2 art, 3 tanks, 2bombers we do one roll in the box. First 2 dice are infantry, next 4 are artillery and upgraded infantry, next 3 are tanks, next 2 are bombers, and the last die is disregarded.

Much faster and great anticipation revealing the dice.
