Italy’s attacking SZ97:

Should I roll this with forum dice in case a possible sub hit forces early casualty selection?

Or do you want me to use tripleA and give me casualty selection as tripleA asks for it?

[boldfresh]

i think this version of tripleA fixed this issue?

[boldfresh]

let me try running in local

[boldfresh]

nope still not fixed.  yeah run it with forum dice.

That was pretty lucky (upper 17% result) for a battle that could swing hard both ways.

[boldfresh]

ouch

[boldfresh]

seems you are having some pretty charmed dice this year - then again, i think i noticed you had some bad luck in a recent loss right?

[JDOW]

@Boldfresh:

nope still not fixed.  yeah run it with forum dice.

phew, this sounds really ridiculous to me. Tons of completely unnecessary bugs are fixed but this one is a MAJOR annoying bug resulting in tons of annoying mass battles to be run in the forum. Plus I cant believe that this should have been difficult to fix. How could such a big not being fixed. I don’t get it.

ask your buddy veqryn

Pretty good overall. I don’t think luck has been a primary factor in any of my defeats yet (Infra, JDOW, and Me1945 all simply outplayed me in my three defeats).

I might have a case to blame a couple future defeats on dice though.

My worst luck games have been:
mrcunego (won, experience more valuable than luck here)
Infrastructure game 3 (ongoing, probably going to lose after bottom of the barrel dice attacking Moscow)
Amon-Sul (ongoing, outcome not yet clear, many turns with Allies hitting every defense roll)

[JDOW]

Nice start for the Axis here! the 97 battle is a tough pill to swallow, Bold has to show his A-game now!:)

@Wheat: I somehow still can’t believe you lost the game vs Me after his G1 disaster (followed by further bad dice afaik^^):P
However I guess you would have won easily with switched sides and comparable bad dice for the Allies:D
