@mainah Haha yeah, seems to happen more in online play. Might have to try out lowluck sometime
@TinCanoftheSea
I tried low luck - personally, not a fan. Sounds demented, but I like the wild swings. I know I need to be more aggressive with the 70% battles for the small and mid size, and learn to accept the results and account for them. I think it will in the long run make me a better player.
LL can lead to too much scripted moves, while the uncommon dice results in regular keeps players on their toes and adds some spice to the game.
But when an entire game is lop sided, it does get discouraging. So I do understand the appeal.
@mainah good points, definitely some things I didn’t consider! I only looked at the potential benefits.

@TinCanoftheSea
You should check out the post on the league general thread about intentionally buying units you can not place.
You did so on UK pac so not to leave money or a repaired factory for the Japanese. Since I did not contest it at the time, I am in no way asking for you to edit any changes, and have no problem letting it stand. I thought it was a shrewd move at the time. Just wanted you to be aware for future games with other opponents.
