i think i’ll try to stick to rolling no dice as often as i can. :lol:
I’m good with Italy redoing stuff, since I’m doing Franzac right now, and it probably won’t affect anything… feel free before Germany’s turn, unless I see something I’m unsure about, then I’ll just ask.
sounds good. i continue to be murdered by the dice in every game! just hit z111 on UK1 with destroyer, 2 ftr, bom against sub, damaged battleship. took TWO HITS and had to drop the bomber. i love it.
Have you made your proper sacrifices? Have you asked the dice gods for forgiveness?
Have you ever heard of the Random Walk?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_walk_hypothesis
Recently, I was playing D&D (yes, a total nerd for the last 30 years), and the dice were awful. My fellow player told me about the Random Walk. I put my faith in it, and before I knew it 19s and 20s started popping up. The fact that it was in a battle where the party’s life or death (my original 1st edition character’s life included) made it all the more compelling.
So now I just put my faith in the fact that the previous roll means nothing to the outcome of the next roll. It was liberating.
