Still want to comment about dice? :-p

[hobo]

part of it was frustration from my other games all going about the same. defenders were hitting like 80-90% on attrition rolls @2. in one sequence, 12 out of 12 @2 or lower (defending sub hit) when I attacked with what would be auto kills with LL.

but what just happened here still doesn’t make up for some of the dicing prior.  I came out like 4-5 infantry ahead.  in the prior japanese turns I lost 2 straight 85% battles to take those islands and get the ipc bonus.  combined with not even hitting, that’s like a 1/64 event.  then there was that 98% italian battle I lost against your destroyer where I lost 34 ipc worth.

[legion386]

Yeah dice can be maddening.  Definitely been on the wrong side of them many times.
