@gamerman01 I will stand by that there is NOTHING more frustrating in life than an incredibly unlucky round of rolling. nothing.

No move over the weekend then.

@surfer said in L25 PTV - Surfer (X+9) v Stucifer (Allies):

@Stucifer Unless the dice work a real miracle…these few losses for you will not matter. Just a side show, the larger game has pretty much already been won.

Perhaps, I could see myself making a mistake in the pacific pretty easily though 🤣

For the dice, wasn’t meant to be a complaint but I like pointing out the wild edge results when they happen 🤓

I was musing that Italy performed so well in Greece but then fell flat on is face in France. Out of those two I’m sure you’d rather have outperformed in France. Andy the odds for you winning Greece were practically moonshot. But RNG is crazy sometimes!
