dang it, i forgot to put the kwangsi attack back in.

[miamiumike]

Well - first dicing of the game goes against me - you should really have lost just about every one of your planes - have to think about it, might be GG - not sure…it is stupid when risky attacks work out so well

[miamiumike]

Yeah - I think that is GG - what stupid shit that was. 3 RTL and 2 ARM hit ONCE, then NONE.

[miamiumike]

And then of course, my subs do a TOTAL of 1 IPC of convoy damage….more dicing. Sorry to complain. I give you full props on Gib - but the rest of that was total BS. Good game gone to crap in a hurry…

[boldfresh]

let me check, but i think that shensi battle was supposed to result in me having 1-2 aircraft

GG mike - yes the dice were not kind to you.  I guess you are officially even less lucky than me, which means i understand your layoffs from the game!

cheers and better luck in the future!

[miamiumike]

Nah - I think it is time to give this game up for good. It is impossible to even learn from my mistakes and become a better player - which I know I need to do - when 90% of my games are over because the dice decide them. I cannot even get into an end game very often because of it - and it does me (and my opponents) no good.

It could be argued that I am giving up too soon here - but - the last turn was a complete disaster for the Axis - losing over like 200 IPC of value - only part of which was due to my poor play. If I am going to lose, fine. Beat me - but I am tired of the dice on this server - I truly believe there is a problem with the random number engine in use - not just against me - but there is FAR too much variability in general - every game - every turn it seems.

Sorry to vent - you played well and had me beat - but I just would like to have a chance…
