G40 elevenjerk (axis) vs stalingradski (allies +9)

[Stalingradski]

This game has officially become strange. I won in SZ6, and lost a destroyer and fighter in SZ125 without killing your German destroyer.

It’s also a classic. Thanks for the battle - you’re really good with the Axis, and I think this one might go 25 turns, maybe more. The US looks like it’ll be showing up at some point again around the Caucasus area  :-D

Man I don’t know how much more I can take.  I am just getting mad!!!

[elevenjerk]

Not quitting yet!!  I know my armies can’t take much more.  Taking Caucasus next turn will be very difficult.  I think the dice server has something against me.  I have 3 other games going and in all the games I am getting hit by 40 - 50 % on 2’s.  It is really quite frustrating!!!  Especially when my 3’s and 4’s are only hitting at that rate.

Sorry I will quit complaining…… I just hate losing :-D

[Stalingradski]

I read the results on the road today at work… man, it was ugly. It wasn’t just one battle, but a bunch.

If it makes any difference, I’m aware you’d be winning this game if the dice were equal.

[Stalingradski]

By the way, about ten years ago I broke my hand punching a wall after horrible dice defending Moscow in A&A Europe… so getting mad over dice is in my blood too…  :wink:

A&A is a strategy game with dice, not a dice game with strategy like Risk. Skill and planning should be the deciding factor… in theory  :-)

[elevenjerk]

Its all good man, I’m over it.  I really enjoy playing you (although I do want to kick your ass :-D)  Let’s see what happens in the next couple rounds!!

I surrender :-( :-( :-(  (that is the sign for the white flag :-D)

Just not much hope when I can’t win an 98% battle followed by a 64% which essentially wipes out my entire armies on each board :oops:

My bad luck has not stopped in our game.  Lost London to Germany but Southern Italy was left wide open.  80% chance for me to win…… not even one hit in 3 rounds of combat (roughly 20 dice to kill 3 units).  That caused me to lose what little navy I had left with UK along with 3 TT cause the units were 2 fighters and 1 bomber, also with no defensive hits.

Same game, Russia is pretty big due to the taking of London.  Russians attacked on German lands… 10 of 18 on 2’s.

And finally, game against Allweneedislove,  my first major Russian push, 6 of 8 on 2’s.  I was a little more prepared for the madness (cause of our game) so it did not hose me quite as bad as it did against you.

Pretty sure this dice server HATES me!!!

Lots of fun playing you though!!!  I will always have a game with you if you like.
