13L G40 Boldfresh vs. hobo (allies +5)

[boldfresh]

you tipped the acc in round 1… then in round 2 you take the two hits as?

[hobo]

cruiser and fighter

[boldfresh]

ok, you hit once with your tipped acc, 2 ftr, bat, now to roll for the missing cruiser

Rolls: 1@3; Total Hits: 01@3: (6)

[boldfresh]

retreating the remaining bomber - where will you land the ftr?

[hobo]

algeria is fine

[boldfresh]

uhhhhh, we have an interesting situation.  i was not
rolling live dice!!!

[boldfresh]

i love it when that happens.  so that means i will have to reload the game and roll
the dice live…  :evil:

[boldfresh]

although knowing my history of bad luck, the live dice will probably go
WORSE!

[boldfresh]

so there’s the move…

let’s see how the real dice go.  probably will get shot down in w germany…  :wink:

[boldfresh]

well hobo, you are officially cursed in this game….  live dice are
going MUCH better than they did when i was running it in local.  got only 1 damage in w germany base, but the rest went much better.  here is the map - got 4 hits in round 1 of z92…  so how will you take them?  :-o

[boldfresh]

sorry for the confusion - been a long day.

don’t know if you’ve run into this yet, but in local, the dice are not sent out by email and thus cannot be verified.  there ave been times where i thought i was just testing a turn in local but the dice were live - when that happens, it’s pretty much tough luck.  in this case, it was the reverse - though i was rolling live but was actually in local.  the dice have to be rolled in PBEM mode though or they are not valid…

but let’s not get ahead of ourselves - you are probably still favored to hold the zone.  let me know your first round losses.

[hobo]

uhhh why would you even ask me for ool if you were just testing  :-P

cruiser 2x carrier fighter

[boldfresh]

actually thought i was rolling live until i went to post it…  thing is, the dice just aren’t valid unless you are rolling in PBEM and the emails go out for verification.  alright, let’s see if your boys can hold on.

[boldfresh]

sorry bro - just got really lucky on ya there.  i had a backup plan, but don’t want to say what it was…  :wink:

alright, you are OFFICALLY getting screwed by the dice in this one.  :|

[hobo]

the dicing in this game has been so horribly lopsided it isn’t even funny.

first that destroyer won against the fighter then it hit again causing the hit on my battleship

then like half your rolls were like 1s when you attacked portagul

[boldfresh]

trust me, i know.  i’m getting your end of the luck in a couple of my other games… and it just keeps happening over and over and over.  crazy how the dice go sometimes.  happened to me with forum dice AND with MARTI dice…  and happens with real dice too.  i have a think with really hot or really cold dice.  :?

[boldfresh]

now that you can build into w germany, it’s surely going to help a lot not to lose rome  :-o
