hang on stali - edit coming

[Stalingradski]

You could tell I was lurking around?  :lol:

[boldfresh]

your destroyer hitting (of course) ruined my plan.

oh and i have to play the game without the chinese
fighter AND i only took out 1 unit.

ridiculous.  you are on a freakin epic hot streak against
me.   :|

i have to put another unit in london or you will just walk into it.   :roll:

[boldfresh]

your buddy infra just diced me hard too.  frustrated.  i’ll get over it.    :-(

[Stalingradski]

In all seriousness, I wonder if there’s something tangible to be done to change the patterns happening to you?

I happen to be a D&D player as well (yup, total nerd) - both 1st edition and 3.5 - and I go through spells of crazy bad dice. I’ve learned to find ways to change my energy - and it works - sometimes it’s as simple as accepting death, sometimes it’s no longer caring, and sometimes it’s taking the random walk and waiting for a couple seconds after I wanted to roll the dice. Anything to shake up the pattern.

Of course, none of it matters if a belief in total randomness is at your core  :wink:

Where do you stand on this kind of stuff? I’m interested in it turning around for you, because we’re both good players, and I want the game to be on a level playing field, whether I win or lose.

[boldfresh]

Youre all vultures and im fresh meat right now… completely dice cursed.  Get me while im cold!!

[Stalingradski]

Ok, circling…  :wink:

I just decided you’ll get some luck your way.

[boldfresh]

Yeah maybe if no dice are rolled.

I told you.

Alexandria - Italian infantry/artillery killed and your Brit survived (a 10 IPC shift); your destroyer hit my destroyer (a 33% chance). Everything else was equal (Greece I was up an infantry - Tunisia I was down one; your French boats got the one hit they should have). That was a good Allied turn.

Take that!  :-D
