did you one shot me in 97, or were my defenses again underwhelming?

[Balladeer]

Ehm, you had 1 HP left on the BC, but that missed it’s 2nd shot ;-)

I just saw. Your threes hit nicely and above average overall. Nothing really crazy happenend, but over 3 active games now I realy would like to have a break, a nice and consequential result somewhere. Only horrific losses or paying wins with a lot of blood in the more important (naval) battles.

Now, of course my dice follow statistics overall, no believing in other things. In my experience, dice just go well over longer periods, then go bad again for a time. Its rare that games feel balanced throughout, just some games (or large parts of it) very well, others really bad. And even that is likely a skewed and subjective view. But its enough to make or break games, especially when it happens early, one way or another. Apart from huge naval battles later on, or Moscow, those are more volatile, oc, with so many dice thrown.

hm, considering Italys options. I wonder what you would do.
