Was hoping the unlucky streak would end this morning but it only got deeper!  :lol: :lol: :lol:  This could be an unlucky streak to “go down in history”?

You’re starting to sound a lot like an old friend of mine…

What about the triple 1’s on attacking infantry in Egypt - reducing my defense on round 2?
I know, my defense was above average too so it cancelled it out, but still…  would have been worse if the 3 infantry had missed.

Glad that UK air force is finally diminishing

@LuckyLindy:

Probably!
But I don’t know about your luck in all your other games (sounds like it’s been really bad for a long time).
Keep pushing through it!  There’s no such thing as luck following a player!  Each roll is an independent event!  No one’s out to get you!  Don’t stop playing!

[LuckyLindy]

I will not stop playing do not worry - it is just a streak that is bound to end!!  I am looking forward to our third game I think I have understood a few things from this one that should be a big help.

Cheers

[LuckyLindy]

In my estimation this last round or so has greatly reduced my chances in this game, beginning with the similar mostly air attack you made on EGY with the Germans that went quite well in contrast to the one we just witnessed.

It now appears pretty clear the axis will prevail.  :-)

Cheers

[gamerman01]

OK, well let me know when you’re ready to quit…  In the meantime I’ll just enjoy making G more and more powerful  :-)
I’ve been very comfortable with this game from the time I was comfortable I would not lose Sumatra or Japan.  From my experience, there was no way I was going to lose after that.  My only fear was America producing 4 or 8 units a turn and easily transporting them all to the mainland…  Taking me long enough to make it convincing without all that…

Glad you’re not overly discouraged on the luck.  Just keep trying to look at the dice from an objective eye

[gamerman01]

Probably had enough with giving out 19 and 21 bids, though….
Darth is probably right - 5 or 6 extra units on the Eastern front would pretty much do in the Germans…
You said game 3… are you meaning the playoff game?  Because our next will only be game 2 for 2012 league, so we can play one more official league game in 2012 after that!

[gamerman01]

Your result in Egypt - bottom 15%
My result in Egypt - bottom 29%

Now if I had had an above average result in Egypt, I could accept your comment.  But to compare our Egypt results, I think, is barking up the wrong tree.  We both had pretty poor results.

I think your campaign has been doomed for about 7-10 rounds now.  The dice here in round 20-21 are irrelevant unless they change the outcome of the came, in my opinion.

Cheers

[LuckyLindy]

You are probably right.  But I did do about twice as bad in EGY though  :wink: just kidding.

Oh, yeah, I get it - 15 is about half of 30  :-P

Gamer, if you do not mind, I would like to have some break from this game.  As you remember, we have taken some long breaks before in this game and I would like to try to concentrate on the tournament and maybe make some moves in easier games.  This is probably going to be a resignation by me soon anyway, so if you are ok with a break let me know.

Cheers

[gamerman01]

Sure
You’ve played so regularly and fast for so many months, you deserve it

[LuckyLindy]

I think I have moved in all my games, will try to get a move in here now.
