[Pejon_88]

Based on your misses in Belarus, I thought it best to retreat.

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 Hope everything is good?

[gamerman01]

Doing awesome, other than my critical Russian misses!

Work has been very rewarding and busy. After sitting up at a desk doing computer work all day, I don’t want to sit at a desk at my computer in the evening, many times. I did give elche an Italian move - wicked can opener on London setting up a high stakes and risky invasion. And he literally just posted something.

You’re high priority for today or this weekend! Hope you’re good too

[gamerman01]

Um, what I meant was you’re next, not elche. I think I just made that one move vs. him since ours.

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 Sounds great! Glad to hear. I’ll be away until Sunday and will not post any move myself before then. Take care :)

[gamerman01]

Thanks, that’s good to know, I’m working on it right now.
I hope you do well also!

[gamerman01]

That is a terrible time and place to suffer a 1% result. That combined with another loss (of infantry) in Leningrad and the G4 is crippling! And then there’s the healed battleship in 97. Uphill climb! :hushed:

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 Oh wow! No hits of 9 dice rolled in Ukraine :O

[Pejon_88]

@pejon_88 And I rolled 4/5 1’s :O
Sometimes you wonder if MARTI is rigged!

[gamerman01]

I don’t mind too much - when I roll real dice (which is rare) they are super crazy too.

But I realized it’s worse than 1% -

There was 1% chance that the Germans would lose nothing through 2 rounds

AND
only a 2.36% chance the Russians would lose 3 or more units through 2 rounds

Very bad time, very bad place. I can’t be upset at all when the dice handed me game 1 so fast

[gamerman01]

Having a good-natured, friendly opponent is far more important than getting the dice you want

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 Oh wow!

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 Haha, yeah there should be a 25-50-25% for good/average/bad dice right, while is should definitely be 100-0% for nice/bad opponents :D

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 scramble SZ39?

J4.tsvg

[gamerman01]

No.
I’ll probably need them all to try and defend Russia

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 Makes sense. Also tried to make it into a bad scramble opportunity for you of that.

[Pejon_88]

@pejon_88 *on top of that.
