Another brutal round of dice…

@JWW:

Another brutal round of dice…

You mean this:

Americans roll dice for 1 aaGun, 1 armour, 1 artillery, 2 fighters and 4 infantry in Norway, round 2 :  1/8 hits

this:

Germans roll dice for 3 armour, 1 fighter, 4 mech_infantrys and 1 tactical_bomber in Iraq, round 2 :  5/9 hits

And the 0/5 AA Gun rolls? Other rolls were about average weren’t they?

1st round D in Iraq was also unlucky but yes. The first round is the most important, especially if one side rolls overly, under or below avg, isn’t it? Also, I recognize you are in a much better position and I am sorely in need of getting “lucky” at this juncture. I have thought this game lost quite a few rounds ago.

Simon, I am going to concede. Great game! Well done. I knew moving my fleet of NOR was very risky but I was at wit’s end at that juncture….too many blunders to come back from! I will post your victory. Let me know if you want to play again and thanks for the game.

I’ll play again. Swap sides?
