lmao the dicing is relentless. after literally hundreds of games online, I will have to declare you the king of luck… I have never had a single opponent who had this much like against me all concentrated within a couple games… I would say Karl7 probably had similar luck against me, but man this takes the cake

@FrancoFan said in axis-dominion vs francofish bm3:

Holy shit Mark, you can’t catch a break. This game of chess is straight ridic

haha well I never said this is like chess and that dice can’t play a factor, just that NORMALLY this much bad luck doesn’t happen all in one game, all in large crit battles like this.

gg in any case. I did have fun

the swings in like 4 major critical battles within two games is like astronomical. just hasn’t been my experience at all, until now with you, the very person I tried to prove was not mostly a luck-based game haha

yah well tbh I was hoping to catch some luck and do better than average this time, given I felt owed something by MARTI lmao… she can be an especially cruel bitch at times

I had some interesting plans… for example I was going to make a rush for s.africa with Japan, and there’d not be much you could’ve done about that… once that was taken, africa would get swallowed up, with even Egypt getting threatened. or at the very least, you’d have to divert some attention over there.

maybe I just have really bad luck against Karls lol… like I said, the only other guy I’ve had massive dicing like this is a Karl7 who plays in the league

@tanios said in axis-dominion vs francofish bm3:

However, this game vs you might be worse than anything I’ve experienced.

honestly I normally would never go with even 75% odds like that, even with it showing a positive average… I decided to go for it for two reasons, a) I felt kinda desperate to make something big happen and b) I was super curious if the tragic luck streak would remain consistent to the end.

I suppose I never really could recover from this early epic failure… which allowed US’s involvement in Europe to be a lot bigger than it would otherwise be possible.

@FrancoFan said in axis-dominion vs francofish bm3:

Yeah I was looking forward to using those 3 trannies by Aussie Land. And the US transport train in Europe was just starting to come together. Was going to to dump ground units and a couple more trannies at Europe while beefing up that Pacific navy to finally pull some plays over there.

Anyway, ez game.

Nah you were too far behind in the pac to do anything useful there. Japan had more than caught up, but still behind schedule overall which allowed you to get away with dumping tons into Europe.
