    ha ha, I laugh because the exact same thing happened to me just now!

    I attack Japanese fleet w/66%, not great but ok, and lost hard hard hard…

    Should I move USA or you think you are done?

    I don’t f’ing know.  Do I have any hope?  Would you surrender at this point?

    Every f’ing time I come close to beating you I either do something stupid or I get f’ed by the dice in a critical battle.  I keep thinking about that  UK battle from a few games ago.  Right now I’m ready to find a new f’ing hobby.

    this was a close game.  you kind of had me on the ropes there.  If I were in your shoes, I’d fight on at least hoping I could get Cario with control of Moscow….  You’ll have to go all out.  Or try for London which would be much harder.

  • '19 '17 '16

    All right, go ahead, I guess.  I’ll try to play it for a bit.

    F*ck it.  I’m not positioned to make a desperation attack on Egypt.  I positioned myself believing that I wouldn’t get wiped out on that 88% odds battle while barely registering a single hit on you.

    I just got completely dice fcked in my game with SA, too.  Japan again.  Major sea battle, come in with half my navy, first round of combat, 0 hits.  Unfckingbelievable.  Land battle, coming in with 13 units, 1st round 0 hits, 2nd round 0 hits.  Minor naval battles, he hits with every unit, my air force gone.  Game over in round three.

    I think I need a break from this game for a while.  I still have a few games to get over with.  I actually kind of hope I get diced in all of them so I can surrender, and take a complete break for a bit.  Don’t know why I play this game sometimes.

    Yeah, the dice are a bitch sometimes.  I’ve taken brakes before because of them.

    I’m getting killed by dice in a game against BSD, again.  Really disheartening.

    But I always come back….  :lol:

    FYI, you are right, this was a tight game.  I was worried you might get me this time.  The dice saved my bacon.  :-P
