F*ck it.  I should have just thrown in the towel half way through the 2nd round after I lost my entire air force.

I’ll go again if you want, but I’m not going to keep banging my head against the wall trying to play with one hand tied behind my back.

For the last few weeks the dice have been sh*tting all over me in all my various games, not just this one.  Why the &$%# does that happen?!  I don’t whether to laugh, cry, or just quit playing altogether.  :x

[suprise attack]

I have had a strech of bad dice about 6 months into playing triple a. I was ready to write under my Avitar “I hate Marti dice!”
Dont give up I just figured I needed a game or two on the “Play Board Games” section and when I had bad dice I stayed away from my league games
I’ll do another, same sides or switch
Kris

[StuckTojo]

Thanks for the kind words of wisdom.

Let’s do an exact redo.  I should let you know that on Jan. 25 I leave for Colombia and Panama for three weeks, so there will be a pause over that time.

I’ll set 'er up.  Do you want the same bids as last game?

[suprise attack]

Yes
That works for me, Your up Adolf
