Dude, that was extremely improbable…
We have both been getting such bad results on offense… wow
Sheesh. Improbable is right! This has been the most defense dominant game I have ever played. Each round I keep thinking that it’s time for the dice to swng back to the attacker, but it doesn’t happen. Weird how it’s been consistant the whole way through. I felt like it would be a short game after G1, then R1 was terrible. Then after the Japs lost 4 guys on Phil killing 1, for the first time ever for me, I felt like resigning. Then what happens? The worst UK1 I have seen, probably ever. Crazy, crazy game.
I completely agree - it is amazing how games sometimes take on personality. It defies what statisticians would say
If it was only happening to one or the other of us, it would be over by now.
Whoever stops attacking first will win :wink:

Incredible. I’m glad it’s just a game, designed for fun and recreation… Definitely entertaining… not sure whether to laugh or cry… I’ll laugh. :lol:
This kind of thing HAS happened to me in other games, but it’s extremely rare. It’s what makes the game so fun - you are never guaranteed victory in a battle no matter how high the odds, and sometimes abyssmal luck ends up being a blessing in disguise, like if it were to lead to you invading Moscow and failing, although I’m pretty sure I’ll have enough in Moscow that you won’t try it… so basically the guy in Bel is just killing me :lol:
Looks like I failed to type armor goes to East US
It’s on the map though
