two biggest battles of the game by far and i was massacred in both.

[hobo]

going to pick best dice since you are screwed

[boldfresh]

yes of course.

[boldfresh]

i ALWAYS get screwed.  guess i’m glad i didn’t have the extra ftr there.  :lol:  well this one’s over soon.  can’t take a GIANT dicing in BOTH theaters.

[hobo]

you did your damage, you hit just about every time afterwards…

[boldfresh]

yeah way to go boys, hit well late.  so JUST TO CLARIFY by “did your damage” do you mean the battle came out on odds?

[boldfresh]

@Boldfresh:

cuz if it came out on odds, then it was successful for the allies.

I suggest you take a probability recourse.

You gave me a 7:3 battle and I will take that all day any day especially when I tried to bait more of the US fleet towards Japan but you held off some units for Europe.

The battle came out almost exactly average, which was about 80 ipcs remaining on my part.  Count what I had left.  You hit 4 below average the first round but after that you more than made up for it by hitting about 80% of the time on the remaining dice.

[boldfresh]

I have you a 6.5 to 3.5 battle and i suggest you stop suggesting anything until you have a little better idea of how to play the game.  you have diced me in the two biggest battles and you apparently don’t even know it.  :wink:

[boldfresh]

any schmuck can get hella lucky - in a LL game this one was OVER when you stacked ukraine.  :-o
