12L - '41 - Bold (allies +3) vs. Botider, -tech, +NO

  • '12

    i need to get about 6 extra hits in round 2 to make up for that dice job.

  • '12

    i mean round 1 defense.  i cannot BELIEVE you got out of there with 1 hit.  i would have and HAVE been recently hit by AA at such an alarming rate that i would be absolutely thrilled to have only lost 4 fighters if i was making that attack…  :roll:

  • '12

    i mean, look at how many 4, 5, and 6’s there are in that aa roll.  looks a lot like one of my legendary mass-fighter rolls.

    aa fire is always a crapshoot… i remember a game i was playing last year that i had well in hand, until i got back-to-back aa fire that hit 3 out of 4 ftrs in the same territory, on consecutive turns. needless to say, i didn’t win. it happens… both ways.

    can defenders help the cause?

    dead on average…

  • '12

    that would have been 3/17 hits if you were rolling for fighters and bombers.  why doesn’t anyone ever roll that badly against me with 3’s and 4’s, i mean, it literally happens to me about every other day.   :?

    it only happens one way for me, the negative way.  when i’m attacking i get everything shot down, and when i’m defending, i shoot down almost nothing.  i kid you not, i dare you to look back through my games.

  • '12

    why don’t you just pull off and keep this at least slightly sporting.  :|

  • '12

    i sonder if anyone plays low luck only with AA fire… that would make a lot of sense since it is SO important and can go so wildly in either direction.

  • '12

    yeah pull off.  then next round you can attack with all those aircraft again and maybe the aa will even out so the game doesn’t go completely off the rails…  8-)

  • '12

    or if you attack again, maybe you could roll 3/17 for the aircraft - that could also even things out in a hurry

  • 2007 AAR League

    :lol: … if we play again i am okay with making aa fire a low-luck roll. it can really swing a game, though it happens rarely (believe it or not).

    i left the bmbr in the ocean… put him in persia.

  • '12

    the funny thing is, i was just HOPING against HOPE that you would fly all those aircraft over AA just ONCE… so i could have a crack at em, and what do i get for it… a virtual goose egg…  :lol:  that’s boldfresh dice baby!~

  • '12

    i am so tired of getting hosed by dice.    :?

  • '12

    i just dare you to go and look at my last ten games and the
    dice i have faced.  you will be shocked.

  • 2007 AAR League

    actually, i doubt i would surprise me. but who knows…

    we all play this game knowing it’s a dice game. i’ve played a lot of games where i’ve tracked the dice, and in about 95% of them the dice stay fairly even most of the time. of course, as you are well aware, the dice can be dead-on even, and one turn of fracked dice totally turns the game - an often does. i’ve played a few games where the dice were just awful for one side or the other the entire game, but my experience has been that over time the dice tend to run 1-2% under average - which is statistically insignificant. of course, that’s the TOTAL dice rolls, and doesn’t take into consideration how wildly a game can swing on a single roll that is way over or way under average, usually in a battle that doesn’t appear that important, but because of the swing in luck, ends up determining the outcome.

    anyway, as for running the japanese planes at india, i know it won’t make you feel any better, but that was the plan all along. i was counting on losing at least 3, maybe 4. and that was acceptable for what i wanted to do, as long as i could hit at least 10 of those infantry. now, unless you get fabulously lucky against the japanese, it’s just a matter of time.

    surrender offer on the table…

    we can swap sides and start again at any time. or keep going if you want. i really think you had a slight lead until the oversight in england. that really turned the tables… it was a $60+ swap, and russia really couldn’t afford that to happen in europe.

  • '12

    i have no doubt the game was mine before giving you london.  the dice haven’t been off much this game, it was london that is the big difference.  but as i said, i knew your plan was always to run those fighters into india and i was glad - IF i could get the 3 or 4 fighters.  getting only 1 is a realy kick in the nuts when i need it the least.

  • '12

    not that anyone really needs a kick in the nuts, but we all hope that when it comes, it is one we can afford.  losing london gave me a very slim margin and the ballsack was especially fragile.  :lol:
