I might have missed it this game, but I can’t recall ever getting any decent dice in this game of ours. I know variance is part of the game, but this is absurd :D.

@Whackamatt:

Tech wise…not so good.  However, you did have spectacular luck in Africa.  Germany took Egypt and they shouldn’t have, denying me the opportunity to reinforce with my factory, thus letting Italy take it for good.

I don’t recall any big disastrous luck this game for you, though, just small onesy twoseys.

Tech did screw me a lot tho. I can’t say that the techs I have now are bad, but the US’s first tech was long range fighters, which puts Japan on the defensive and prevents them from expanding easily. And Russia has been bombing Germany since day 1.
