You are so lucky

You are so lucky
Maybe it’ll all be made right in Congo
I just flew three aircraft over AA to attack Ukraine this week and lost 2 out of 3.

I’ll have to see when I update my battle record sheet for this game, but I’m pretty sure your Germans have been pretty near invincible through 5 rounds now. What a slaughter. Again. And again.

I think I have already told you, the dice gods aren’t pleased with you. This isn’t going to be pretty. I am almost 100% certain they are going to make you pay dearly for your self described, “oversight”. Sorry dude.

We shall see.
I’ve had thoughts of quitting. I’m sick of the tournament pressure. Gaming is for fun. I definitely should never play poker with substantial amounts of money. I don’t like having a lot at stake dependent on something that’s completely random.
Your Germans have been getting terrific results through 5 rounds and my Russians have been doing poorly. (I have received many favorable, although mostly small, outcomes in my other Allied attacks)
However, it can all turn on a dime. After you destroy all of my bombers only losing 2-3 fighters, I will be discouraged. But it could easily blow up in your face, too.
Your talk about continued bad luck for me is a load of hooey, though. Each dice roll is an independent event. I know you’re just trying to get in my head. Not gonna work. Am tired of the tournament pressure, however. Would be cool to win it all, but it takes a great combination of luck and skill. Whoever wins this game will probably just get eviscerated by Yoshi, though.

Funny. Like I said, more often than not I see the dice backfire on the player who eagerly pounces on a mistake. Backfire hard. Can’t wait to see…
Can’t play til later tonight. Probably moving into Ukraine and backing away from the Japs.

2010 league playoff game I got bad dice and Func got good dice on the German/Russian front too. That’s usually a killer.

43% chance you lose 5 or all 6 fighters…
Now that the German bomber is exposed, you’re committed! Will be interesting to see the dice results… :-) -

I assume I’ll hit 3 - you will select 3 bmb’s, If I hit 4 or five I might withdraw after the first rd battle. I have you hitting 2, actually 1. something. Of course it can go either way Me -1,- 2 you +1, +2. But if goes according to plan I hit three you hit 2. Second rd, I hit 2 you hit 1. something even lower? 5 bmb’s gone, ITA navy lives for quite a while.

I will of course, humbly accept, your capitulation. There is no dishonor in giving up to the will of the dice gods.

JWW, that was a pretty big roll. At least you know now that the attack almost certainly cannot be a complete bust.
The crowd waits anxiously for the Allied response! :-)

<sigh> You haven’t played as much A&A as I have, perhaps? I have attacked with 13 tanks before and whiffed. His 3 tanks, in reply, hit 3 for 3. +1 or 2? Expecting average results? tsk tsk
But of course, you get average. As Lucky apparently comprehends - your risk has declined after a big roll. Fortunately for you, you got your 3 hits. It will be sweet when the dice finally even out on you, when you least want them to.
You assume wrongly. I’m not losing 3 bombers, I’m losing 2 green bombers and the infantry. So that when I get 4 hits and you retreat, I will have one more bomber. Or if I get unlucky yet again, you at least have to go more rounds to get more than 2 bombers……
I would roll my own defense, but I don’t know if you’re one of those players who goes ballistic. Don’t want to roll 4 hits and then have you argue about it (pretty sure you wouldn’t, but not willing to chance that).I played a good guy once, who looked for average “expected” hits, and counted +1, +2, or -1, -2. Funny thing was, he was often disappointed. (Actually, he was on the good end of the 13 vs 3 tank battle. 16 coin flips that all went against me. If it’s possible, it can happen)</sigh>
